About joint loans
Whether you’re working on a big dream or a little emergency, a joint personal loan could be an option if you’re looking to borrow money with a partner, family member or friend.
If approved, you could use a joint loan to:
Linking your finances
Taking on any new debt is a big decision, especially when you’re doing it as a team.
If you’re approved, your credit files will be linked and future lenders may take both your scores into account before approving you for any other borrowing.
It’s also key to know that if the person you’re taking a loan with defaults on a payment or the entire loan amount, you will be responsible for the full payment amount.

The rate you pay depends on your circumstances, loan amount and term and may differ from the Representative APR. We will never offer you a rate exceeding 29.9% p.a. (fixed), regardless of loan size. This means you're not guaranteed to get the rate you see in the calculator.
What does APR mean?
APR can be confusing. Grab a cuppa, take a few minutes and read our guide to APR for some help.
Can I pay off my loan early?
It’s important to remember that if you repay your loan early, you will be charged an Early Repayment Fee. The amount you will be charged will be equal to 58 days’ interest on the amount you repay early (28 days’ interest if the period of the Loan is one year or less). If there is less than 58 days (or 28 days if applicable) remaining on the loan, the calculation will be based on the actual number of days remaining. This is in addition to your outstanding loan amount and any outstanding interest.
