Australia-Wide Personal Loans for Life, Debt & Big Purchases
Fast, flexible personal loans for debt consolidation, renovations, vehicles, medical expenses, weddings, travel and major life expenses — brokered across 74+ Australian lenders.
A personal loan is a flexible finance solution that allows you to borrow a lump sum and repay it over a fixed term with regular repayments. Personal loans can be used for a wide range of purposes including debt consolidation, home improvements, medical expenses, weddings, travel, vehicle deposits and major life purchases.
At Tigris Finance, we help Australians compare personal loan options across a panel of 74+ lenders, including banks, non-bank lenders and specialist personal loan providers. Rather than accepting the first offer from your existing bank, we compare suitable options and help you find the right loan, right rate and right structure for your circumstances.

Common uses for personal loans
Debt consolidation
Roll multiple high-interest debts (credit cards, store cards, BNPL, payday) into one lower-rate, fixed-term repayment. The single biggest reason Australians take a personal loan.
Home renovations
Kitchen, bathroom, deck, pool, granny flat. Faster and simpler than a home-loan top-up if the project is small to mid-sized.
Vehicle deposit
Top up your dealer or private-sale vehicle finance with a personal loan deposit to bring the LVR down and unlock a sharper rate.
Wedding, holiday, life events
Big-ticket personal spending where you'd rather pay it off over 3-5 years than carry a credit card balance.
Medical & dental
Surgery, IVF, fertility treatment, cosmetic procedures, orthodontics. Specialist medical lenders price these scenarios properly.
Emergency expenses
Unexpected bills, tax debt, business cashflow gap, car repair, vet bill. A short-term personal loan can be cheaper than a credit card or BNPL.
Personal Loans FAQs
How much can I borrow on a personal loan?
Most Australian personal lenders sit in the $10,000 to $250,000 range, depending on the lender, borrower profile and loan purpose. The amount approved depends on your income, existing debts, credit profile and the loan purpose. Tigris Finance can usually tell you your realistic borrowing capacity in the first call.
Are personal loan rates fixed or variable?
Most personal loans in Australia are fixed-rate, which means your repayment doesn't change for the life of the loan. A few lenders offer variable personal loans, which can make sense if you expect to repay early. We'll explain the tradeoff for your specific scenario.
Can I pay off a personal loan early?
Yes, on most products. Some older lenders still charge early repayment fees, especially on fixed-rate facilities. We'll filter for no-penalty products if early payout is part of your plan.
Will applying through a broker affect my credit score?
No. Tigris Finance uses soft credit enquiries during the quote stage. Only when you choose a lender and ask us to submit a formal application do we trigger a hard enquiry on your file.
Can self-employed borrowers get a personal loan?
Yes. We work with several lenders who price self-employed personal loans properly, including specialist low-doc options for clients with strong cashflow but non-standard tax returns.
