Tips to boost your loan worthiness
Shopping for a bike loan can be as daunting as choosing the right vehicle. As well as seeing who offers the best rates, it’s worth assessing how attractive you appear as a potential borrower. Showing that you are a good risk improves your approval chances and will save you time and money.
Here are some things to remember before approaching a credit provider:
Think carefully about the amount of money you wish to borrow. Choose a figure that is realistic and suits your means. Credit providers consider newer vehicles a safer prospect for risk. The vehicle can be used as security on the loan. It is harder to secure a loan for an older vehicle because of its low resale value.
Credit providers prefer borrowers in stable employment. You will stand a better chance of obtaining approval if you can demonstrate uninterrupted employment over a long period of time. Your bank account and income should demonstrate the capacity to meet repayments. If you can show a savings track record, it greatly improves your position.
The assessment team will check your credit file and credit performance with previous credit providers. We will ensure that any errors are corrected before the approached credit provider does its own enquiry.
Shopping for the best deal with our Bike Finance Tips
Bargaining for a better deal is not a sin. Just like the new business and used-car markets, finance is a competitive industry. Credit providers should fight for your business. There are many important questions to ask a financier before deciding on the best deal. Are there monthly admin fees? Ongoing bank fees? Penalties for early payout? Is the loan daily reducible? Can extra payments be made?
