How it works
Discuss the amount and payment dates after checking the education provider’s payment options.

Course information, fee schedule, start date and refund terms.

If you are employed
  • Recent payslips and the details of your employment.

Self-employed consumer finance: accountant’s letter option

Self-employed and applying for a car for personal use, a personal loan or another eligible consumer purpose? If your last two years of tax returns are not yet complete, an accountant’s letter may be accepted as the income document for eligible finance options.

Ask our team about an accountant-letter-only income verification option. Identification and other standard application information may still be required. Availability is subject to product criteria, assessment and approval.

These are conversation checklists, not the final application requirements. Our team will confirm the relevant records and periods.

What should I tell the team?

Your goal, preferred timing, and any circumstances you would like us to understand. Share sensitive documents only through a verified, approved process.

NO GUESSWORK REQUIRED.

Your questions, welcome.

What should I prepare for education expenses?

Bring course fees, enrolment dates and other costs you want reviewed. An estimate is enough to begin the conversation; final requirements will be confirmed.

Can I ask before enrolling?

Yes. Bring the course details and estimated costs. Confirm the finance terms and the provider’s refund rules before making commitments.

How do I choose a comfortable repayment?

Start with income after tax, essential expenses and existing commitments. Leave room for changes in your budget rather than relying only on the calculator estimate.

What rate and fees would apply to me?

These depend on the product and your individual assessment. Ask for the rate, fees, repayment schedule and total cost in the proposed terms before deciding.

Can I start with a quick question?

Yes. Choose the short enquiry to share your goal and contact details, or take the full application path if you have more time. The team can clarify what is needed next.

Still wondering about something?

Share a little about your plans, or complete the full application if you’re ready.
