Handy Guide

Understanding medical loans at Handy Finance

Handy Guide

Why should I choose a medical loan?

Navigating medical expenses can feel overwhelming. Worry no more. While Medicare and private health insurance can help you cover some costs, there are certain expenses they won’t be able to stretch to. A medical loan acts like a dependable friend, helping you manage these costs and ensuring they don’t get in the way of your path to recovery.

What expenses can I use a Handy Finance Medical Loan for?

Like all of our loans, Handy Finance Medical Loans are versatile and can be used towards different medical expenses. We find the most common uses for medical loans are: 

  • Surgery, including elective, cosmetic, eye or dental
  • Hair transplant procedures
  • IVF and fertility treatment
  • Purchasing any medical equipment that you may need for personal use
  • Covering the costs of medication during and post-recovery
  • Rehabilitation
  • Radiology
  • General hospital bills and other expenses

For unexpected emergencies, a loan for medical expenses can make all the difference. Unlike putting a large sum on a potentially high-interest credit card, having a fixed interest rate and set repayment terms gives you the peace of mind to plan and budget. You can put your focus and energy into recovery.

How medical and dental loans work

Applying for a Handy Finance Medical Loan is a straightforward process. Apply online, and in a matter of minutes, you will receive an indicative quote. Once your application is approved, funds will be in your account within 24 hours. 

A benefit of choosing a Handy Finance Medical Loan is that it offers a fixed rate. Once the rate is fixed, you’ll be able to budget accordingly, as you’ll know how much and how often you will be repaying for the entirety of the loan. Our loans are tailored to your specific circumstances. This is why we offer loans between $2,001 and $75,000 and repayment terms between one and seven years. You can borrow an amount and repay at a rate designed to suit your specific circumstances: choose from weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments.

Eligibility for medical loans

To be eligible for a medical loan from Handy Finance, you must meet a few eligibility criteria. You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. You must be 18 or older and have no history of financial hardship with other providers. Finally, you must have a regular income via employment (including self-employment). You must provide evidence of this – via ID documentation and bank statements – when you apply for your loan.

Frequently asked questions

Need help with something? Here are our most frequently asked questions.

Medical loan basics

At Handy Finance, our priority is to tailor the loan to suit your financial needs and circumstances. Whether you need to provide security for a medical loan depends on whether your loan is secured or unsecured. We offer both types of medical loans. If you are approved for a secured loan, you’ll need to provide an asset like a car as collateral. This acts as a form of security for the loan and can result in a lower interest rate.

Yes, Handy Finance Medical Loans can cover medical care while you are overseas for business or on a holiday. Note that any medical loan applications with Handy Finance are subject to assessment by our loan team.

At Handy Finance, we recognise the critical part recovery plays in your medical journey. That is why rehabilitation, medication and medical equipment are all covered under a Handy Finance Medical Loan.

Medical invoices aren’t necessary to support your loan application, but they can help to guide the process. By providing any supporting documentation, you can help the team at Handy Finance understand the specifics of your application and financial needs, allowing them to create a loan tailored to you.

You don’t need to know the exact cost of your treatments before applying for a Handy Finance Medical Loan. Securing medical finance is not dependent on having exact figures. If you’re unsure how much to apply for, research your treatment first to figure out some indicative costs – this will give you a better picture of how much money you should apply for. At Handy Finance, you can apply for a medical loan between $2,001 and $75,000.

Once you’re approved for a medical loan with Handy Finance, we’ll settle funds within 24 hours. Our quick settlement can help with any unexpected medical bills.

The eligibility criteria for a medical loan are similar to those of a personal loan. Handy Finance experts will consider these factors when evaluating your loan application.

  • You must be 18 years or older to apply and a citizen or permanent resident of Australia.
  • Receive regular income via active employment (including self-employment).
  • Have no history of bankruptcy or be in hardship with a different financial provider.
  • Have no outstanding or unpaid defaults.
Loan amount and repayment

Handy Finance Medical Loans range between $2,001 and $75,000 – how much in that bracket you’ll be able to borrow depends on your application, income and credit rating.

When it comes to repayments, Handy Finance likes to keep things flexible. That’s why we offer options when it comes to your repayment terms. The cost of your medical loan can be spread over one year, two years, right through to seven years, and you can make your repayments weekly, fortnightly or monthly. There are $0 monthly fees and $0 early repayment fees. We’re not trying to put you in a box – we’re tailoring the terms of your loan to suit you.

Interest for medical loans is calculated on the remaining balance of your loan, usually daily or monthly, adding to the overall amount that needs to be repaid. Interest is part of your regular repayment – it is combined with your principal repayment and results in the sum you’ll need to pay off each month, fortnight or week.

The experts at Handy Finance are here to make money simple. That’s why we have $0 early repayment fees. We won’t charge you to make extra payments to speed up your repayment process.

Interest rates are set based on your financial circumstances. Handy Finance experts will evaluate your application and offer an interest rate tailored to you. Handy Finance Medical Loans have interest rates starting from 6.57% p.a.* (comparison rate of 7.19% p.a.*).

At Handy Finance, we focus on crafting a loan that suits your circumstances. For our medical loans, the interest rates are fixed, ensuring your repayments are consistent and manageable throughout the loan’s term, aiding your financial planning and stability during your medical journey.

Application and approval

Our team makes it a priority to review any applications for medical finance quickly. You will usually find out an indicative decision moments after your application is sent through.

We understand that timeliness is everything when it comes to receiving your financing. If you are approved for a Handy Finance Medical Loan, you will receive your approved funds within 24 hours.

Financial terms and rates

Traditional bank lenders tend to have higher operating costs, resulting in higher rates. Handy Finance keeps rates low by keeping operating costs down and remaining focused on our mission – allowing people to live life to the fullest.

Fixed-rate loans are completely transparent from day one – because the rate doesn’t change, you know exactly how much you will be repaying and how often for the entirety of your loan.

Handy Finance will offer you an interest rate based on your personal credit history and situation. You can find your personalised rate in just a few minutes with our free quote. Please note that this rate is just an estimate, and it won’t affect your credit score.

Loan management and repayments

With Handy Finance, you can repay for up to seven years. Repayments are made weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Repayments on Handy Finance loans can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You must use direct debit for all scheduled repayments. To make repayments ahead of schedule, log into your borrower dashboard and do so using BPAY.
