Scenario Example
Matt is a long haul Truck driver and has been in business for 3 years. He does not own a home and he does not want to bother with providing financials. He needs to replace his existing Truck as he has new contracts worth a lot to him, and requiring him to provide a very reliable service. He bought his current truck for $200,000 (under Commercial Hire Purchase) 2 years ago and pays $4,071 a month in repayments. He’s always made his repayments on time and his loan account is rated “good.”
Under the “replacement loan” criteria, Matt would qualify for the loan, up to $250,000 ($5,088 per month) without having to provide financials or any other security.
