What is the EquiMax Loan?

The EquiMax Loan by AutoSwift Finance is a secured medium-amount credit contract (MACC) designed specifically for Australians facing unexpected financial hurdles, such as urgent medical or hospital bills. By securing the loan against your registered, unencumbered vehicle, you can access between $2,100 and $5,000 quickly without having to surrender your car.

This product serves as a practical alternative to mainstream lending, offering a fixed 12-month term, clear repayment schedules, and no ongoing monthly account-keeping fees. It is structured to help you manage emergency expenses responsibly while keeping you on the road.

Common Medical Use Cases

When health emergencies arise, financial stress shouldn't stand in the way of care. Here is how eligible borrowers use the EquiMax Loan.

Hospital & Surgery Gaps

Even with private health insurance, out-of-pocket hospital gaps, specialist fees, and theatre costs can accumulate rapidly. An emergency loan helps bridge the difference immediately.
