A debt consolidation loan combines two or more debts, such as credit cards, personal loans or buy-now-pay-later balances, into a single loan with one monthly repayment. The aim is to reduce the overall interest rate and simplify your finances.
For example, if you carry $15,000 across three credit cards at 20% p.a. and can consolidate into a personal loan at 10% p.a., you save on interest. Over 3 years at the lower rate, you would pay roughly $2,500 less in interest.
A longer loan term can reduce the monthly repayment but increase the total amount of interest paid. Consolidating at a lower rate onto a 7-year term can cost more than keeping a higher-rate debt over a 2-year term. Always compare the total cost, not just the rate.
Early repayment fees on your existing loans may also apply when you pay them out. Factor these into your calculation before switching.
Secured loans, backed by a car or property, carry lower rates but put your asset at risk if you cannot repay. Unsecured consolidation loans have higher rates but no asset risk. Most Australians use unsecured personal loans to consolidate smaller debts.
