What Is the EquiMax Loan?

The EquiMax Loan from AutoSwift Finance is a secured medium-amount credit contract designed for everyday Australians who need to access short-term cash flow without losing access to their vehicle. By using your unencumbered, registered car, ute, or van as security, you can borrow between $2,100 and $5,000. Unlike traditional pawnbroking or restrictive asset-holding loans, you keep driving your vehicle as normal throughout the entire 12-month fixed term while making clear, structured repayments.
