SYDNEY - AussieJournal -- For many Australians, a personal loan isn't just about borrowing – it's about managing expenses in a structured way. From consolidating high-interest debt to covering medical bills, planning a wedding, or upgrading the home, personal loans are helping people take control of their finances.

A Financial Shift

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Lending Indicators, June 2025, the value of new personal fixed-term loan commitments reached $9.0 billion – up 5.3% over the quarter and 16.8% higher than last year.

Of this, $4.9 billion went to road vehicles, while $4.1 billion was classed as "other personal loans," covering household goods, travel, or debt consolidation.

Australians are moving away from high-interest credit cards and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) schemes, and toward structured, transparent lending that offers stability. Borrowing is shifting from "surviving" to "planning."
