Some things that could help

Check your credit report

As part of reviewing your application we look at the information on your credit report, which is produced by an independent credit bureau. This report shows a snapshot of your liabilities, available credit, and your repayment behaviour for these accounts. To learn more about credit reporting in Australia visit www.stgeorge.com.au/ccr.

It’s a good idea to view your own credit report and check your details are correct before starting your application. You can do this for free by visiting the credit bureau website directly, or via CreditSmart.org.au. We work with three bureaus: Equifax, illion and Experian, so you might like to check the report produced by each of them.

Get your documents and information ready

Before starting your application, make sure you have everything in the list below:

Current employer’s name, address and phone number

Asset, savings and investment details
Details of all existing liabilities that are in your name (e.g. personal loans, other credit or store cards, ‘interest-free’ instalment purchases, home loan)
All your regular monthly expenses (including school fees, insurance, utilities etc.)

If you are an existing St.George customer, you will also need to:

Apply as an Existing Customer in the application form and log in to your account
Once logged in, double-check that your personal details (name, address etc) are up-to-date. If not, log in to internet banking to update them. Allow 24 hours for records to update.

• with the minimum interest rate for a fixed rate loan of 11.49% p.a. (comparison rate 12.57% p.a.) or with the minimum interest rate for a variable rate loan of 12.99% p.a. (comparison rate 14.06% p.a.), the estimated total amount payable including fees is $40,555 or $41,932 respectively; and

# Repayment Calculator assumptions
Any calculation made by you using this calculator is intended as a guide only. It is for illustrative purposes only and is based on the accuracy of the information provided. The calculator does not take stamp duty or other government charges into account. The calculations does not constitute an offer from St.George.

Length of month
All months are assumed to be of equal length. In reality, many loans accrue on a daily basis leading to a varying number of days' interest dependent on the number of days in the particular month.

Number of weeks & fortnights in a year
One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. This implicitly assumes that a year has 364 days rather than the actual 365 or 366.

Rounding of amount of each repayment
In practice, repayments are rounded to at least the nearer cent. However the calculator uses the unrounded repayment to derive the amount of interest payable at points along the graph and in total over the full term of the loan. This assumption allows for a smooth graph and equal repayment amounts.

Interest Rate
The interest rates represented on this page are St.George's standard interest rates and exclude any package or promotional discounts and are subject to change.
