What Is a Car Equity Loan? Quick Definition

A car equity loan is a form of vehicle-secured finance that uses an approved vehicle registered in your name as security for a specific borrowing need. AutoSwift Finance offers the EquiMax Loan for eligible Australians seeking $2,100 to $5,000 for short-term needs such as urgent home repairs, emergency maintenance or unexpected household costs. You keep driving and using the vehicle during the fixed 12 month repayment term.

This is a secured loan. If you fail to meet your repayment obligations, your secured asset may be repossessed.

If you are researching home repair loans, the EquiMax Loan is intended for a defined short-term cash flow need, not an ongoing credit limit or revolving facility.

When Could the EquiMax Loan Be Used?

The EquiMax Loan may be considered for lawful, short-term expenses where an eligible applicant can demonstrate repayment capacity.
