What documents do you need?
The Credit Union SA personal loan can be applied for online, by phone, or in person. To get started, have the following ready: proof of identity (driver’s licence or passport), details of your income and monthly expenses, information on any existing credit cards or loans, and bank statements from the past three months.

Key fees to understand

(comparison rate 9.49% p.a.), a standard fixed rate of 10.99% p.a. (comparison rate 11.50% p.a.), and a variable rate of 13.60% p.a. (comparison rate 14.12% p.a.).

Tips from the Utua network!
Before applying for the Credit Union SA personal loan, use the calculator on the website to estimate your repayments and the total cost of the loan. If you have a vehicle to use as security, the special rates can represent significant savings compared to the variable rate.
Consider applying through the online channel to access the lowest available rate (8.69% p.a.), keeping the overall cost of borrowing as low as possible. Organise your documentation in advance to speed up the process – especially if you’re in a hurry.
Finally, we strongly recommend careful financial planning before applying for the Credit Union SA personal loan or any other credit product, to ensure you can make your repayments on time throughout the term of the contract.
