QUESTIONS

Common questions

Can I get a car loan on a bridging visa?

Visa holders are welcome to ask. Eligibility depends on your visa and the lender. We will look at your situation and explain your options.

What do lenders look at?

Lenders usually look at your income, how long you have been working, your deposit, and the time left on your visa. Different lenders look at these things differently, which is why it helps to talk to a broker.

Will asking a question affect my credit score?

Asking us a question won’t affect your credit score. We’ll only check your credit file, or let a lender check it, with your OK, once you decide to apply.

Not sure where to start?

Tell us your situation and a broker will get back to you within one business day. No obligation.
