ForewordMost people, at some stage or another, have used a personal loan to fund an asset

purchase or to pay off a dream holiday. I am on to my second car now, both bought with

car loans, and have enjoyed the experience of being able to buy a car long before I could

physically save up for one.

A personal loan is a simple, uncomplicated product that has been used in a number of

ways through the ages. The most popular use of a personal loan today is to consolidate

debt, usually racked up on one or more credit cards and store cards. Isn’t this a sign of the

times? Money, particularly when it’s not yours, can be easy to spend but a lot harder to

repay. Sometimes the only way out is to convert all debt into a personal loan and pay it out

in full over time.

In this Personal Loans Star Ratings report you will see that the favourable interest rate

landscape at the moment translates to some well-priced loans on the market. We have

researched 19 products from nine providers to identify those which offer outstanding value

for borrowers. These have been separated into secured and unsecured personal loans as

well as personal loans specifically for debt consolidation, for ease of comparison by you.

BORROWING FUELS GROWTH

PERSONAL LOANS DOUBLY USEFUL

November 2014 2

There’s no doubt personal borrowing underpins a household’s wealth and lifestyle ambitions. Money for everyday items as well as cars, holidays and so forth is nearly always obtained through personal debt in the form of personal loans and/or credit cards.

According to the Reserve Bank, the value of consumer loans has been creeping upwards. In the 12 months to June of this year, households owed just under $14.5 billion from banks and non-bank lenders, an additional $1 billion over the past two years. This figure does not include home loans.

It’s obvious our love affair with credit continues but at what cost? Borrowing is easy but repaying, well, that can sometimes be a stretch, particularly if life throws you a curve ball such as job loss, accident or illness.

Personal loans have been around for decades, and they remain relevant for two important reasons:

1. Purchasing cars or other big ticket household items, and 2. Consolidating debt that’s gotten out of hand

In terms of car purchase, using a personal loan negates the need to save up the cash before you walk into the car yard. This means you can get mobile (an important work requirement and/or personal requirement for many people) sooner.

Paying the car off in set, regular instalments as you drive means you will actually own the asset at the end of the loan term. When the purchase is partnered with a comprehensive car insurance policy and a written budget that clearly demonstrates your capacity to repay, it’s certainly a valid consideration. No debt should be taken on, though, without seeking professional advice.

In terms of debt consolidation, we know that Kiwis are perhaps a little too fond of convenient credit. Currently we are collectively accruing interest on almost $6.2 billion of credit card debt alone. With the average credit card interest rate calculated by CANSTAR at 18.6%, our addiction to plastic is more scary than fantastic. Credit cards are the ultimate convenient money invention for the “I want it now” generation.

One card leads to another – the story is all too familiar – until the time comes when the consumer is drowning in a sea of minimum repayments. Aside from winning the lottery, a solution is to round up your outstanding credit card and store card debts, take out a personal loan to pay them off and get them out of your life for good.

Debt consolidation is one of the biggest reasons consumers take out personal loans – but again, it’s not a decision to make lightly.

Personal Loans 3

COUNTING THE COST OF CONSOLIDATINGMaking a concerted effort to pay down debt is a great hedge against any future shock. Borrowing is a costly business so the sooner you pay off the debt, the more interest you will save.

The decision to tackle debt consolidation through a credit card or a personal loan is not helped by the fact that neither one leaps out as being superior through the interest rate offered. Looking at the spread between minimum and maximum interest rates on debt consolidation loans – 13.82% to 22.99% - it could be argued that choosing the wrong debt consolidation loan is a costly exercise. A low-rate credit card may be better in this case.

However, a personal loan does something a credit card does not. It takes away temptation. You cannot keep spending with a personal loan. A series of monthly instalments means you are locked in to repaying the loan in full by the end of the term. For some people who can’t trust themselves to keep their credit card in their wallet under all circumstances, this is the sort of discipline needed to erase their debt in full.

WHY THE HEFTY RATES?With the official cash rate languishing at 3.5%, it would be nice to see a flow-on effect with lending products. Alas, it is not to be. Although the official cash rate doesn’t by itself determine how the banking system prices its loans, we live in hope. Even our old sparring partner, Australia, with its cash rate at 2.5%, has a more attractive range of interest rates for its suite of personal loans (see table below).

The provision of unsecured debt no doubt comes with its share of customers who default but it would be interesting to know the statistics and understand the thinking behind how lenders come to price these consumer loans.

November 2014 4

PERSONAL LOAN

Pros: • You can pretty much borrow any amount you like, as long as you can demonstrate an ability to repay• For fixed rate loans you have the option to repay over any length of time from one month up to 10 years • Because the debt amount is fixed, it prevents you adding to it via impulse purchases• The average personal loan interest rate is lower than the average credit card interest rate• You have the certainty of a regular repayment amount and interest rate if you choose a fixed-rate option • By the end of the loan term, your debt should be fully paid off

Cons:• The debt amount cannot generally be increased• You must meet your repayment obligations regularly

CREDIT CARD

Pros: • They can be a convenient source of unsecured credit• You can take advantage of bargain buys all year round• You will pay no interest if repaying in full during a set timeframe specified by your financial institution• You have the option to repay only the minimum amount if you choose

Cons:• Credit cards can represent a temptation to overspend continually• Because there is no specified loan term, there is the associated risk of creating a never-ending debt• You will generally face interest rates if you do not pay the outstanding balance in full each month

OVERDRAFT FACILITY

Pros:• Can be a great emergency measure for the months when you need just a bit more cash, by allowing you to

overdraw your account up to an agreed amount• The interest rate tends to be similar to a typical personal loan• There are no application fees

Cons:• It is only available to those with a good credit rating• It is generally not suitable for larger amounts of money• Non-authorised overdrafts are generally not allowed. If they are, expect to pay over 20% interest for the

privilege

WHAT BORROWING OPTIONS DO YOU HAVE?When it comes to personal debt, consumers have a number of options. Before going into debt, be objective about your needs and capacity to repay. Realism is much better than idealism in this case.

Here is a brief rundown of your borrowing options.

Personal Loans 5

HOME LOAN REDRAW

Pros:• As the redraw is extra money that you have paid onto your home loan you are essentially using your own savings• The ongoing interest rate will be the same as your ongoing home loan interest rate Cons:• Not everyone has a home loan• Your borrowing capacity is limited to whatever extra amount you have parked in your home loan

PAYDAY LOAN

Pros:• It can be a useful to borrow small amounts if you’re short of cash temporarily• High risk borrowers are considered• There is generally no security requiredCons:• You will usually face a high interest rate • There can be other fees and brokerage on top of the interest charges • You may run the risk of getting caught in a debt spiral

HOME LOAN LINE OF CREDIT

Pros:• A line of credit has one of the cheapest ongoing interest rates of all borrowing options• It is attractive for larger projects such as home renovationsCons:• Not everyone has a home to secure a line of credit against• Because most home loans have a long lifespan (typically 25 or 30 years) you can end up paying a lot

of additional interest over the loan term if you do not focus on paying off the additional debt within a reasonable timeframe

HOW LONG & HOW MUCH?Personal loans can be taken out for as long as 10 years, with six years being the average time frame offered by lenders.

When considering a personal loan, think carefully about a loan term that would best suit you and your purpose. Cut the term short and you may find yourself struggling to find that larger amount of money each month. On the other hand, if you spread the loan over too long a term, you’ll pay more interest overall and, chances are, the car you are paying off won’t be worth that amount of money at the end of the loan term.

Interest rates should also be a determining factor. As you can see from the chart below, there is quite a spread between the lowest and highest rates charged in all three personal loan categories. That’s why it’s all the more important to use the CANSTAR personal loans star ratings as a shopping guide before deciding on the loan that’s right for you.

Interest Rates for Personal Loans

Loan Type Minimum Interest Rate Maximum Interest Rate Average Interest Rate

Debt Consolidation Loan 13.82% 22.99% 18.29%

Unsecured Personal Loan 13.82% 22.99% 18.06%

Source: CANSTAR personal loan star ratings, October 2014. Note this includes fixed and variable rate products

It is interesting to note that the low-rate loans in the table above are all fixed-rate loans. Fixing your interest rate gives you certainty that your repayments will stay the same for the term of your loan; it’s a buffer against rates going up and hence increasing your repayment amount. A rate increase may cause a problem if you are on a strict budget and only have a set amount to devote to the loan.

When looking at variable rates only, we can see that the minimum interest rates on offer across the products researched are much higher, as follows:

Interest Rates for Personal Loans –variable rate

Loan Type Minimum Interest Rate Maximum Interest Rate Average Interest Rate

Debt Consolidation Loan 17.91% 17.95% 17.93%

Unsecured Personal Loan 17.91% 17.95% 17.93%

Secured Personal Loan 16.28% 16.28% 16.28%


Remember that the decision whether to fix or take the gamble with variable boils down to each individual situation.

WHAT TO LOOK FOREven though a personal loan is a simple product, there are still a few things to be aware of, all of which you will know if you do

your research before going to the bank or credit union.

How to avoid the tricks and traps:• Stick to the amount you want to borrow and resist

upselling. The added interest is better off in your pocket.

• Don’t be dazzled by the amount you will pay each month.

Application, or establishment, fees ranging from $150 to

$275 will bump that up. These small bits and pieces add

up.

• Make sure you’re aware of any penalty for paying off

your loan early or for making extra lump sum payments

towards reducing your debt.

• It goes without saying to warn against missing a payment,

but we’re all human and slip up occasionally. Paying a little

extra each month will give you a buffer against a missed

payment penalty.

• If you are consolidating debt, cut up the offending credit

card – but don’t forget to officially close the account,

otherwise you’re still up for the annual fee

and, hey presto, another card will arrive in the

mail to start the cycle all over again.

THE FIVE STAR PRODUCTSHaving crunched the numbers and tested 19 loans from nine providers, CANSTAR has come up with a comprehensive ratings list to determine which loans offer outstanding value for money.We found:

2 x 5-Star Rated Debt Consolidation Loans 2 x 5-Star Rated Personal Loans – Unsecured2 x 5-Star Rated Personal Loans - Secured

To check the methodology we used in our star ratings, see the document at the end of the results report below.

REPAY EARLY, SAVE BIG BUCKSIt goes without saying that if you put extra money into your personal loan, you will slice the time it takes to pay off the debt and save yourself a bundle in interest at the same time.

The table below illustrates what happens when you borrow $10,000 over seven years. By sticking to the set monthly repayment, you will have paid nearly $7,685 as the interest component after the seven year term. However, if you put an extra $45 per month into the loan, you’ll shorten its life by two years and save yourself over $2,400 in interest.

Personal LoansSTAR RATINGS METHODOLOGY

What are the CANSTAR personal loans star ratings?

CANSTAR personal loans star ratings is a sophisticated and unique ratings methodology that compares the dominant personal loan products in New Zealand. The results are reflected in a consumer-friendly 5-star concept, with 5 stars signifying outstanding value offered by the product.

What types of products are evaluated in CANSTAR Personal Loan Star Ratings?

We have compared 19 personal loan products from nine institutions. For our analysis, three profiles were used based on the security and main uses of personal loans:

Profile Name Description

Debt Consolidation Loans must be available for debt consolidation and be available for the loan

amount and loan term used in the debt consolidation scenario ($15,000 over three years)

Unsecured Personal Loan Loans must be available for the loan amount and loan term used in the

personal loan scenario ($10,000 over three years)

Secured Personal Loan Loans must be capable of being secured against at least a motor vehicle and

be available for the loan amount and loan term used in the personal loan scenario ($20,000 over five years)

CANSTAR Star Ratings Methodology

Each personal loan reviewed for the CANSTAR personal loan star ratings is awarded points for its comparative pricing and for the array of positive features attached to the product. Points are aggregated to achieve a Pricing score and a Feature score. To arrive at the total score CANSTAR applies a weight against the Pricing and Feature scores. This method can be summarised as:

TOTAL SCORE = W1PRICING SCORE + W2FEATURE SCORE

November 2014 10

Price Score Feature Score

Debt Consolidation 70% 30%

Unsecured Personal Loan 70% 30%

Secured Personal Loan 70% 30%

Pricing Score

The pricing score is based on a transaction scenario reflecting a loan amount and loan term typical of each profile (see table below). Total cost in each scenario is calculated based on the six month average interest cost, establishment fee, ongoing costs and any one-off fees where applicable (i.e. in the Secured Personal Loan profile). For loans that gave a range of interest rates, the midpoint between the minimum and the maximum rate was used for calculation of each of the scenarios. The total cost is then indexed against each personal loan in the profile and then weighted to determine the overall personal loan pricing score.
