Alpha Finance / Bad credit car loans

Bad credit should not cost you a car.

Defaults, arrears or a low score do not have to stop you driving. We specialise in lending to people the banks have already turned away.

How we assess bad credit

Your credit score is only part of the story. We look at where you are today, not just where you have been.

The whole picture

We weigh your current income and stability alongside your credit history, not just the number.

A fresh start

Past defaults or a low score will not automatically rule you out of a car loan with us.

Lending you can manage

We only approve repayments we believe you can comfortably afford, with the costs explained upfront.

How to apply for a car loan with bad credit

Start with your details and the car you want. We explain how to provide your identity and bank statements for assessment. Approved loans fund cars from licensed Australian dealers. Your approved amount, rate, fees and repayments are set out before you sign.

Common questions

Often, yes. Defaults do not automatically disqualify you. We assess your current situation, including your income and stability, before making a decision.
