Why So Many Australians Are Refinancing — And How It Could Work for You

By Mary Nebotakis, Managing Director, Natloans, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services

In 2025, refinancing is on the rise. Recent figures show refinancing activity has increased by more than 5% this year, as homeowners look for smarter ways to manage their finances.

But this isn’t just about chasing a lower mortgage rate anymore. Many Australians are using refinancing as a debt optimisation strategy, combining multiple debts — like home, car, personal, or even small business loans — into one streamlined facility.

So why are so many borrowers making the move?

The Benefits of Refinancing as a Debt Optimisation Tool

Refinancing can offer several advantages beyond a cheaper home loan:

  • Lower interest costs – Home loan rates are generally far lower than personal loan or car loan rates.
  • Improved cash flow – Rolling debts into one facility can reduce your monthly repayments by spreading them over a longer term.
  • Simplified finances – Instead of juggling multiple repayments across different lenders, you can consolidate them into one.

A Quick Case Study

Take Sarah and Michael. They had:

  • A $500k home loan at 6.1%
  • A $25k car loan at 9%
  • $12k in personal loan debt at 11%

By refinancing their home loan to 5.4% and rolling in their car and personal loans, they:

  • Saved over $450 per month in repayments
  • Cut their overall interest costs by thousands over five years
  • Reduced financial stress with one simple monthly payment

It’s worth noting that extending loan terms can mean paying more interest in the long run — so weighing up the short- and long-term costs is essential.

Is Refinancing Right for You?

Refinancing may be worth considering if:

  • You’re on a mortgage rate that hasn’t changed in years
  • You’re juggling multiple high-interest loans
  • You want to unlock equity for renovations, investments, or business purposes

Even if you’re not sure, a refinancing review can help clarify your options.

The Bottom Line

Refinancing isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution — but in the right circumstances, it can be a powerful tool for improving your financial wellbeing. Understanding the potential savings and trade-offs is the first step.

Leisure Loans Explained: How to finance your new Caravan, Bike, Boat or Jet Ski with Ease

By Mary Nebotakis, Managing Director, Natloans, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services

When it comes to embracing an adventurous lifestyle, few things offer as much freedom as owning your own boat, jet ski, caravan, or motorbike. Whether you’re dreaming of weekends on the water or planning the ultimate Aussie road trip, a leisure loan can make it easier to turn those dreams into reality. 

But what exactly is a leisure loan, and how do you know if it’s the right choice for your situation? In this guide, we break down how leisure loans work, what they cover, and what to consider when choosing between secured and unsecured options.

What is a Leisure Loan?

A leisure loan is a type of personal finance designed to help you purchase recreational vehicles or lifestyle equipment. It’s a flexible option that can be used for:

  • Boats and jet skis
  • Caravans, camper trailers, and motorhomes
  • Motorbikes and ATVs (all-terrain vehicles)
  • Horse floats and other non-essential lifestyle vehicles

These loans are available through both banks and non-bank lenders, and can usually be structured as either secured or unsecured — depending on your preferences and what you’re purchasing.

Secured vs. Unsecured Leisure Loans

Understanding the difference between secured and unsecured loans is key when choosing a funding option that fits your budget and goals.

Secured Loans

With a secured loan, the vehicle or equipment you’re purchasing acts as collateral for the loan. This typically results in:

  • Lower interest rates
  • Higher borrowing limits
  • Longer and more flexible loan terms

Secured loans are ideal when buying new or near-new items, especially from dealerships.

Unsecured Loans

Unsecured loans don’t require an asset as security, making them quicker to access and often more suitable for:

  • Second-hand purchases
  • Private sales (e.g. via Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree)
  • Older or smaller-value items

While the interest rates can be slightly higher, they offer more flexibility in terms of usage and repayment.

Private Sale or Dealer? Both Are Possible

While many traditional banks limit leisure finance to dealership purchases, specialist lenders available through Natloans can assist with both private and dealer sales.

So, whether you’ve found the perfect caravan on a classifieds site or want to buy brand-new from a dealership, you’re covered. Our team will also manage the paperwork and ensure the transaction is structured safely –  especially important in private sales.

Is a Leisure Loan Right for You?

Leisure loans are ideal if you:

  • Want to spread out the cost of a big purchase
  • Prefer not to dip into your savings or redraw from your home loan
  • Need fast access to funds for a private or time-sensitive sale
  • Are planning a lifestyle upgrade or family trip

At Natloans, we compare loan options across multiple lenders to find the most suitable product — often saving you money and hassle in the long run.

Final Thoughts: Finance That Moves With You

Whether you’re looking to explore the coast, escape to the bush, or simply add a little more freedom to your weekends, leisure loans are a practical and popular way to fund that lifestyle.

At Natloans, we’ve been helping Australians finance their adventures for over 15  years — with access to over 50 lenders and tailored advice that puts your needs first.

Two Smart Ways Debt Consolidation Can Help You Take Control

By Mary Nebotakis, Managing Director, Natloans, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services

Managing multiple debts can be overwhelming—especially when interest rates and repayment schedules differ. Whether you’re dealing with personal loans, credit cards, car loans or store finance, debt consolidation may be a smart strategy to take control of your financial future.

At Natloans, we often help our clients consolidate their debts into one easy-to-manage loan. Here are two simple and effective ways debt consolidation can work for you:

1. Lower Your Monthly Repayments

If high monthly repayments are stretching your budget, consolidating your debts into one lower-rate loan can help ease the pressure.

By combining multiple debts into a single personal loan or refinance solution at a more competitive interest rate, you could:

  • Reduce your monthly financial commitments
  • Avoid late fees or missed repayments
  • Free up cash for savings, living expenses or emergencies

This option is ideal for anyone feeling the pinch and looking for more breathing room in their budget.

2. Pay Off Your Loans Sooner (and Save on Interest)

Already managing your repayments okay, but want to get debt-free faster? Here’s a powerful strategy: consolidate your debts at a lower interest rate—but keep your monthly repayments the same.

This allows you to:

  • Shorten your overall loan term
  • Save thousands in interest
  • Reach your financial goals sooner

You’ll be reducing your debt faster without increasing your regular outgoings.

Why Work with Natloans?

At Natloans, we tailor debt consolidation strategies to your situation—not a one-size-fits-all solution. With access to over 50 lenders, we’ll compare options to find the most cost-effective and flexible solution for you.

Our team of expert brokers can help you consolidate:

  • Home Loans
  • Personal loans
  • Car loans or asset finance
  • Credit card balances
  • Store or “buy now, pay later” finance

Take Control of Your Financial Future: Why Now Is the Time to Act — Not After the Election

By Mary Nebotakis, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services, Managing Director, Natloans

As the next Australian federal election looms, many individuals and business owners are watching and waiting — unsure of how potential policy changes might affect their financial decisions. While caution is natural during periods of political uncertainty, delaying key financial decisions could mean missing valuable opportunities.

At Natloans, our advice is simple: don’t wait for the election to take action. Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or business operator, there are clear benefits to making proactive moves now.

1. Refinance Your Home Loan: Take Advantage of a Competitive Market

If you haven’t reviewed your home loan in over a year, you could be paying more than necessary. With rates still competitive among both major banks and non-bank lenders, refinancing your home loan now could:

· Lower your interest rate and monthly repayments

· Help you pay off your loan faster

· Give you access to equity for renovations or investments

Even a 0.25% rate reduction on a $600,000 loan can save you over $1,500 per year. Working with an experienced mortgage broker gives you access to a broader range of lenders and products — not just your existing bank’s options.

2. Pre-Approval: Be Ready When Opportunity Strikes

Whether you’re buying a home, an investment property, or upgrading your car, getting pre-approved for finance is one of the smartest steps you can take. Pre-approval helps you:

· Understand your borrowing capacity

· Move quickly when the right property or asset becomes available

· Strengthen your negotiation position with sellers

With property listings starting to lift and EOFY deals in sight, acting now means you’re prepared — rather than scrambling to catch up later.

3. Refinance Your Commercial Property Loan: Improve Cash Flow and Flexibility

Business owners and investors often overlook the opportunity to refinance commercial property loans. Whether you’re paying above-market rates, facing restrictive loan terms, or looking to release equity, refinancing can:

· Reduce your ongoing loan repayments

· Provide access to funds for expansion, staffing, or upgrades

· Allow you to restructure for better tax efficiency and long-term flexibility

Lenders are offering sharper deals than many realise — particularly for stable, income-producing commercial properties. A finance broker can help you compare offers and avoid hidden costs or break fees.

4. Pre-Approval for Business Assets or Vehicles: Plan with Certainty

Whether it’s a work vehicle, machinery, or equipment, securing pre-approval for a business asset allows you to:

· Budget more accurately

· Access potential tax benefits before EOFY

· Take advantage of limited-time offers or supplier discounts

Pre-approval also puts you in a better negotiating position and streamlines the transaction once you’re ready to buy.

Why Timing Matters More Than Politics

While elections can bring change, they also bring uncertainty. Waiting to “see what happens” can result in missed windows of opportunity, especially when lenders are actively competing for new business.

By acting now, you:

· Lock in current rates and avoid potential rises

· Strengthen your financial position ahead of any economic changes

· Stay in control of your personal or business goals — regardless of the political climate

With over 100 years of combined experience and access to more than 50 lenders — including Australia’s leading banks and specialised non-bank providers — Natloans is here to help you find the right finance solution for your needs.

We take the time to understand your goals and deliver options that suit your unique situation, whether you’re refinancing a home loan, a commercial property loan, or planning your next big purchase.

Make This Easter Count – How a Personal Loan Can Help You Get Ahead

By Mary Nebotakis, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services, Managing Director, Natloans

As the Easter season approaches, many Australians find themselves reflecting on the first quarter of the year—whether it’s setting new goals, managing debt, or planning a much-needed break. With a long weekend on the horizon and the cooler months just around the corner, it’s a natural time to pause, reset, and prepare for the months ahead.

At Natloans, we understand that life doesn’t pause for perfect timing. Whether you’re planning a spontaneous Easter getaway, looking to consolidate your debts, or considering a lifestyle upgrade, a personal loan can help you make it happen.

Why Consider a Personal Loan Before Easter?

The Easter period often brings with it both a sense of renewal and a financial crunch. A personal loan can offer a timely solution to support:

1. Debt Consolidation

Juggling multiple credit cards, buy-now-pay-later accounts, or short-term loans? Consolidating your debts into a single personal loan can simplify your finances, reduce stress, and in some cases, save you money with a lower interest rate.

2. Last-Minute Getaways

Airfares, accommodation, and travel expenses can add up quickly. If you’re hoping to escape for Easter—whether for a road trip or an overseas adventure—a personal loan can help you lock in plans while prices are still reasonable.

3. Leisure & Lifestyle Purchases

From jet skis to motorbikes, Easter is a great time to invest in lifestyle purchases before winter arrives. Our leisure loans are designed to help you fund big-ticket items that bring long-term enjoyment, without the long-term financial strain.

4. Home Improvements

Hosting Easter lunch? Or just ready to finally tackle that renovation project? A personal loan can give you the financial boost to improve your space, increase property value, or simply create a more comfortable environment.

What You Need to Know About Your Credit Score (and How to Improve It)

By Mary Nebotakis, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services, Managing Director, Natloans

Your credit score is one of the most crucial factors in determining your financial health and borrowing power. Whether you’re applying for a home loan, car loan, or business finance, lenders assess your credit score to gauge the risk of lending to you. A strong credit score can unlock better loan approvals, higher borrowing limits, and lower interest rates, while a poor credit score may limit your options or result in higher costs.

Understanding how your credit score works—and what impacts it—can help you take control of your financial future. Let’s explore the key factors that affect your credit score, how it influences loan approvals, and five actionable steps to improve it.

Factors That Negatively Impact Your Credit Score

Several factors can drag down your credit score, making it harder to secure finance at competitive rates. These include:

1. Late or Missed Payments – Payment history is a major component of your credit score. Late payments on credit cards, loans, or utility bills can significantly lower your score, especially if they become frequent.

2. Type of Credit You Use – Certain types of credit, such as payday loans or buy-now-pay-later services, can negatively impact your credit profile. Lenders may view these as signs of financial distress or poor money management.

3. Too Many Credit Enquiries – Each time you apply for credit, lenders perform a ‘hard enquiry’ on your file. Too many enquiries, even if they don’t result in a loan approval, can suggest financial instability and lower your score.

4. High Credit Utilisation – If you regularly max out your credit cards or maintain high balances relative to your limit, it signals to lenders that you may be overextended.

5. Defaults and Serious Credit Infringements – If debts remain unpaid and go into default, or if you are declared bankrupt, your credit score will take a severe hit, impacting your ability to borrow for years.

Factors That Positively Impact Your Credit Score

Just as certain behaviours can hurt your credit score, others can help improve it. These include:

Making Payments on Time – Consistently paying off loans, credit cards, and bills on time builds a strong credit history.

Maintaining a Low Credit Utilisation Ratio – Using less than 30% of your available credit shows responsible financial management.

Keeping Credit Applications to a Minimum – Only apply for credit when necessary to avoid excessive hard enquiries.

Holding Long-Standing Credit Accounts – A longer credit history, with responsible usage, demonstrates stability to lenders.

Regularly Checking Your Credit Report – Reviewing your credit file for errors and addressing any inaccuracies can prevent unnecessary score reductions.

How Your Credit Score Affects Loan Approvals

Your credit score plays a crucial role in determining your borrowing capacity and the terms of your loan. Here’s how it influences your lending options:

  • Likelihood of Approval – A higher credit score increases your chances of being approved for loans, while a lower score may result in rejections or require additional security.
  • Lender Preferences – Prime lenders offer the best rates and terms to borrowers with excellent credit, while borrowers with lower scores may need to seek specialist lenders who charge higher interest rates.
  • How Much You Can Borrow – A strong credit profile can increase your borrowing power, as lenders see you as a lower risk.
  • Interest Rates You Qualify For – Higher credit scores typically attract lower interest rates, meaning you pay less over the life of your loan.

Top 5 Tips to Improve Your Credit Score

If your credit score needs a boost, consider these five expert tips:

1. Pay Bills on Time, Every Time – Set up direct debits or reminders to ensure you never miss a payment.
2. Reduce Outstanding Debts – Aim to pay down existing credit card and loan balances to improve your credit utilisation ratio.
3. Limit New Credit Applications – Avoid applying for multiple loans or credit cards in a short period to prevent a spike in hard enquiries.
4. Check Your Credit Report Regularly – Access your credit report through major credit reporting agencies to identify and dispute any errors.
5. Build a Positive Credit History – If you don’t have much credit history, consider a low-limit credit card and use it responsibly to establish a strong record.

Debt Consolidation—Everything You Need to Know

By Mary Nebotakis, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services, Managing Director, Natloans

Debt can feel overwhelming, especially when juggling multiple repayments, interest rates, and due dates. Fortunately, debt consolidation offers a solution that simplifies your finances and puts you back in control. Whether you’re dealing with credit card balances, personal loans, or medical bills, debt consolidation could be the key to regaining financial stability.

This guide explores everything you need to know about debt consolidation: what it is, how it works, the types of debts you can consolidate, the advantages and disadvantages, and tips to maximise your savings.

What is Debt Consolidation and How Does it Work?

Debt consolidation is the process of combining multiple debts into a single loan with one monthly repayment. The primary goal is to reduce financial stress by streamlining repayments and often lowering the overall interest rate.

Here’s how it works:

1. Assessment: Evaluate your existing debts, including their interest rates, repayment terms, and total amounts owed.

2. Consolidation Loan: Apply for a new loan that covers your combined debts. This could be a personal loan, balance transfer credit card, or home loan refinance.

3. Repayment: Use the new loan to pay off your existing debts. You’ll now focus on repaying a single loan, often with a more favourable interest rate and structured timeline.

Types of Debts You Can Consolidate

Debt consolidation is versatile and can apply to various financial obligations, including:

  • Credit Cards: High-interest credit card debt is one of the most common forms of consolidation. Consolidating into a lower-interest loan can save hundreds or thousands over time.
  • Personal Loans: If you have multiple personal loans with different lenders, consolidation simplifies your repayment schedule.
  • Medical Bills: Combining unpaid medical expenses into a manageable loan ensures
    timely repayments without overwhelming your budget.
  • Home Loans: Mortgage refinancing can incorporate other debts, such as credit cards, offering lower overall rates.
  • Business Debts: For entrepreneurs, consolidating business-related loans can improve cash flow and reduce financial strain.

The Pros and Cons of Debt Consolidation

Pros

  • Simplified Repayments: Instead of juggling multiple bills, you’ll have one monthly payment.
  • Lower Interest Rates: Consolidation can reduce the average interest rate on your debts, saving you money.
  • Improved Cash Flow: Lower monthly repayments can free up funds for other financial priorities.
  • Better Credit Management: Structured repayments can positively impact your credit score over time.

Cons

  • Upfront Costs: Some loans come with fees, such as application or early repayment charges.
  • Longer Repayment Periods: While monthly payments might decrease, longer terms could mean paying more interest overall.
  • Eligibility Requirements: Consolidation loans may require good credit or collateral, such as property.

Tips to Maximise Savings and Achieve Financial Goals

1. Shop Around for the Best Rates: Let the experienced team at Natloans compare lenders to find the most competitive interest rates and terms.
2. Avoid Accumulating New Debt: Stick to a budget and avoid the temptation of running up new balances on credit cards.
3. Create a Financial Plan: Use your consolidated loan as an opportunity to budget and prioritise savings. Use our free Budget Planner here.
4. Work with Professionals: Seek advice from finance experts like the team at Natloans, who can help tailor a solution to your unique circumstances.

Caravan Loans – Everything You Need to Know

By Mary Nebotakis, B. Eco, Dip. Financial Services, Managing Director, Natloans

The open road, endless freedom, and the allure of new adventures await with a caravan.

Whether you’re dreaming of cross-country exploration or just weekend escapes, a caravan makes it possible to travel comfortably and conveniently. At Natloans, we’re here to help you secure the perfect caravan loan, making your dream of mobile travel a reality.

Here’s everything you need to know about caravan loans, from types of financing to what you need to consider before hitting the road.

1. Why Choose a Caravan Loan?

Caravans offer a home on wheels, allowing you to explore without the constraints of traditional accommodation. A caravan loan helps you finance this purchase, spreading the cost over a manageable period so you can hit the road sooner. With a tailored caravan loan, you can start enjoying your purchase without having to dip too deeply into your savings.

2. Types of Caravan Loans

When it comes to financing your caravan, you have options. Here are the most popular choices:

  • Secured Caravan Loan: This is the most common type of caravan loan, where the caravan itself is used as collateral. With this security, lenders often offer lower interest rates, making it a cost-effective choice.
  • Unsecured Caravan Loan: If you prefer not to use your caravan as collateral, an unsecured loan is an option. While these loans generally come with higher interest rates, they can be ideal if you’re looking to keep assets separate.
  • Chattel Mortgage: For business owners intending to use the caravan for business purposes, a chattel mortgage may be the best choice. This type of financing can offer tax benefits, and you own the caravan outright from day one, using it as collateral.

Each loan type comes with its own pros and cons, and Natloans can help you navigate these options to choose the best fit for your situation.

3. What Affects Your Caravan Loan Approval?

Several factors influence the approval process, including:

  • Credit Score: As with any loan, your credit score plays a key role. A higher score can help you access better rates and terms.
  • Income and Employment: Stable income and employment history help demonstrate your ability to repay the loan.
  • Deposit: While some caravan loans don’t require a deposit, a down payment can help reduce your loan amount and improve your interest rate.

4. Loan Terms and Interest Rates

Caravan loans generally come with terms ranging from 1 to 7 years, allowing for flexibility based on your budget and goals. Interest rates can vary based on the type of loan, loan term, and your credit profile. At Natloans, we work with a range of lenders, so we can help you compare rates and secure the best possible option for your needs.

5. The Application Process: Quick and Simple

Applying for a caravan loan with Natloans is a streamlined experience. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect:

  • Initial Consultation: Speak with a Natloans specialist to discuss your caravan dreams and financial situation. We’ll help identify the best type of loan for you.
  • Pre-Approval: We guide you through a quick pre-approval process, giving you an idea of how much you can borrow and what your repayments may look like.
  • Document Submission: Once you’re ready, submit any necessary documents, including ID, proof of income, and bank statements.
  • Approval and Funding: With everything in place, your loan will be approved, and the funds will be available to purchase your caravan.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I buy a used caravan with a caravan loan?

Yes, you can use a caravan loan to finance both new and used caravans.

  • What happens if I want to sell the caravan before the loan term ends?

You can sell the caravan, but you’ll need to pay off the outstanding loan balance, or you may be able to transfer the loan to the buyer, depending on the terms.

  • Can I pay off my caravan loan early?

Some loans allow early repayment, but others may charge an exit fee. We can help clarify this before you commit to a loan.

7. Why Choose Natloans for Your Caravan Loan?

With Natloans, you gain access to a dedicated team of finance professionals who understand the ins and outs of caravan loans. We take the time to assess your unique needs, offering personalized guidance to secure a loan that aligns with your budget and goals.

Whether you’re consolidating debt or investing in home improvements, here are five smart ways to leverage a personal loan and finish the year strong.

The holidays are just around the corner, and if high-interest debt is weighing you down, consolidating multiple loans into a single personal loan can simplify your payments and reduce financial stress. By opting for a personal loan with a competitive interest rate—starting as low as 6.75% P.A.—you can reduce monthly payments, improve cash flow, and free up funds for holiday expenses.

By investing in yourself, you’re setting the foundation for future opportunities, and Natloans is here to support your growth with a loan that suits your needs.

5. Build or Strengthen Your Emergency Fund

Financial security is critical, especially in uncertain times.

Increased Take-Home Pay: For most of you, these tax cuts will be reflected in your take-home pay each payday, starting from 1 July 2024. This means more disposable income to support your financial goals.
