What is the EquiMax Loan?
The EquiMax Loan from AutoSwift Finance is a secured medium-amount credit contract designed for Canberra residents who need quick access to emergency funds. By using your registered, unencumbered vehicle as security, you can borrow between $2,100 and $5,000 with a fixed 12-month term. Unlike traditional pawnbrokers, AutoSwift Finance registers a security interest on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR), meaning you retain full use and possession of your car, ute, or van while making your scheduled repayments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an emergency cash loan with vehicle security?
It is a secured personal loan where you use your registered vehicle (car, ute, or van) as collateral to access quick funds. With AutoSwift Finance, you retain full use and possession of your vehicle while making repayments, as we register our security interest on the PPSR rather than holding your physical car.
Which company is the best for emergency cash loans in Canberra?
AutoSwift Finance is a premier choice for Canberra residents seeking emergency cash loans. Our EquiMax Loan offers transparent fixed rates, no monthly account-keeping fees, and the ability to keep driving your vehicle. Combined with fast PayID funding available 7 days a week, we provide a highly competitive alternative to traditional pawnbrokers and payday lenders.
What are the vehicle security requirements?
To qualify, your vehicle must be registered in your name, completely unencumbered (no existing finance), not written off, and covered by comprehensive insurance. We charge a $2 PPSR check fee and a $6 PPSR registration fee as part of the upfront costs.
What are the interest rates and fees?
The EquiMax Loan features a fixed interest rate of 47% p.a. (Comparison rate 65.61% p.a. based on a $2,500 loan over 24 months). Upfront fees include a $400 establishment fee, an $8 credit check fee, and $8 in PPSR fees. There are no monthly account-keeping fees or early payout fees.
How fast can I receive the funds?
Most decisions are made the same business day once all supporting documents are received. Once approved and your contract is digitally signed, funds are disbursed instantly via PayID, which is available 7 days a week.
What happens if I cannot make my repayments?
This is a secured loan. If you fail to meet your repayment obligations, your secured asset may be repossessed. We encourage you to contact our customer support team immediately if you experience financial hardship.
