Low-Doc Car-Secured Loans for Australian Borrowers

Apply online for the EquiMax Loan with document requirements based on your circumstances, while keeping full use of your approved vehicle.

All applications are subject to credit assessment and eligibility criteria. AutoSwift Finance is operated by Koala Enterprises Pty Ltd (Australian Credit Licence 537359).

What Is a Low-Doc Car-Secured Loan?

A low-document car-secured loan is a secured medium-amount credit contract where the documents requested are based on your circumstances. It does not mean no documents, no credit assessment or automatic approval. AutoSwift Finance still verifies identity, income, expenses, liabilities, vehicle details and repayment capacity before making a decision.

The EquiMax Loan is secured against your registered vehicle or another approved asset, with a security interest registered on the PPSR. You retain full use and possession of your 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.

Low-Doc Application Options

The information and documents required depend on your employment, income and financial circumstances. AutoSwift Finance assesses every application individually.

Employed applicants

You may need a government-issued photo ID, typically the last two or three payslips, vehicle registration papers or a log book, proof of comprehensive vehicle insurance, and information about income, expenses and liabilities.

If further information is needed to verify affordability, AutoSwift Finance may request it before completing the assessment.

Self-employed applicants

You may need a government-issued photo ID, invoices, contracts or tax returns, vehicle registration papers or a log book, and proof of comprehensive vehicle insurance.

Other information may be reasonably required to assess your income, expenses and ability to make repayments without substantial hardship. Read more about car-secured loans for self-employed Australians.

Consider the right type of support

If you are experiencing difficulty with existing debt, contact your current creditors, request hardship assistance or speak with a free financial counsellor. For a vehicle repair or unexpected expense, you can review car-secured options for urgent cash flow before deciding whether to apply.

You can also explore vehicle repair and registration finance or secured options for home repairs where those uses match your circumstances.
