Decision in Minutes

Ebbett Finance - Enjoy six months with no repayments*

With Ebbett Finance, you can get an online decision in minutes* and, for a limited time only, you can defer your repayments for 6 months*. This allows you to enjoy your new vehicle without the pressure of paying back the loan immediately.

Select the appropriate link below and use the finance calculator to submit a deal you’re happy with. Our system then carries out background checks and gives you a quick conditional decision that you are free to accept or not.

If you then want to add the 6-month deferment offer, simply speak to the dealership business manager when you are finalising the loan and ask them to include that in your repayment schedule. They can arrange all the details, and answer any questions.

*Ebbett Finance is provided by Heartland Bank Limited. Heartland Bank's responsible lending criteria, T&C's and fees apply.

FAQ

What are the details of the "Ebbett Finance Pay $0 for 6 months" offer?

The “Pay $0 for 6 months” offer is available on all Ebbett Finance deals for a limited period. This offer allows you to defer the first repayment of your finance deal for up to 6 months. You can take delivery of your new vehicle when you need it, without the pressure of making repayments in the deferment period.

Currently, you cannot specify the 6-month deferred period within the online tool but please continue to use that tool for approval of the loan amount and your Ebbett Business Manager will call you on completion to confirm that approval has been registered. At this stage, please indicate if you are interested in the 6-month deferred payment offer and your Business Manager will be happy to explain the offer in detail, answer any questions you may have, and explain your options fully.

What finance institute (s) do you use?

Ebbett Finance is provided by Heartland Bank Limited to all Ebbett customers. We also have great working relationships with well-known finance institutions including United Dominions Corporation (UDC) and European Financial Services Limited (EFS & EAF).

One of the key benefits of financing your new car with one of our dealers is that we work for you to place your car loan with the most suitable finance institution. Our Business Manager will work on your behalf to get you the best rates and the best terms for your car loan.

How long will it take for my loan application to be approved?

Ebbett Finance allows you to get instant conditional approval within minutes of applying. If you make use of other finance options, we’ll try and get your loan approved within a few hours, during business hours only. If you have made your application outside of business hours, we’ll let you know if your loan has been approved on the next working day (once we have all the information we need).

Can I get a loan approval before I’ve found the car that I want?

Yes – plenty of our customers like to know how much they can borrow before they choose their new car. You apply for the loan as normal and, if approved, you’ll have pre-approval to select your new car.

What interest rates do you charge?

Our interest rates are competitive and vary depending on the amount borrowed, the loan term, and your credit history.

How long is the loan term?

Our terms are flexible with a minimum of six months and a maximum of five years. We work with you to structure your payments to suit your preferred repayment schedule.

What is the minimum loan amount?

Generally our minimum loan amount is $5,000. However in certain circumstances you may be able to apply for a smaller car loan.

How old do I need to be to apply for finance?

You need to be at least 18 years of age.

Do I require a driver's licence to apply for finance?

Yes, the minimum driver’s licence we require is a restricted licence.

Can I apply for finance if I have no credit history?

You may not need to have any previous credit history to get a loan approved; however, you may be asked to provide a suitable guarantor for your loan.

If I have bad credit, can I still apply for finance?

Yes, apply for a loan with us and we’ll recommend the most appropriate lender to make your application with. The lender may ask for additional security and/or a guarantor.

What is the security for my loan?

The security will be the car you’ve purchased, although you may be asked for additional security and/or a guarantor.

Can I pay my loan off before the end of the term?

Yes, although you may be charged an early settlement fee. The fees and interest charged differ between lenders and are set out clearly in the loan documentation.

Can I make additional payments or change my repayment amounts during the loan term?

Yes, although fees may apply. The fees and interest charged differ between lenders and are set out clearly in the loan documentation.

What is a guarantor?

A guarantor is someone who “guarantees” your loan or credit contract i.e. if you can’t or won’t repay the debt then the guarantor will do so.

Is there a loan establishment fee?

Yes. The loan establishment fee varies from lender to lender but in most cases is less than $500.

Do I need a deposit?

No. In many cases you will not be required to have a deposit. If you have a good credit history and are in stable full time employment there is a good chance a deposit will not be required. If a deposit is required, this could be satisfied either by a cash deposit or a trade-in vehicle.

Where do I sign the finance documents?

Most of our customers find it easiest to sign the documents on site at the dealership they chose, however if you prefer our Business Manager will come and see you at a time and place that suits you.

How do I make loan payments?

You can make payment by direct debit, or by automatic payment.

Do you have to have a guarantor for a business lease/agreement?

In most cases a private individual will be required to go guarantor for a business who is leasing a car.

AML Rules

What is AML and how does it affect me?

The Anti Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism act (2009) “AML” came into effect in June 2013.

As a result of the changes, all finance companies, banks and credit unions are now required to collect more customer information. Regardless of which lender we place your car loan with we will be required to collect this information on behalf of the lender.

If you are applying for a car loan to finance your new car, you may be affected by AML. Operating leases are exempt from AML rules. The nature of the information we are required to gather and how it is verified and confirmed varies between entities.
