What Is a Car Equity Loan in Perth?

A car equity loan uses your registered vehicle, or another approved asset, as security for a secured personal loan. The EquiMax Loan is a medium-amount credit contract for eligible Australians who need lawful, short-term cash flow support and can demonstrate the capacity to make repayments without substantial hardship.

AutoSwift Finance operates Australia-wide online, so Perth applicants can complete the application and manage their loan digitally without visiting a branch. You retain full use and possession of your car, while a security interest is registered on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR).
