What Is a Soft Quote?

A soft quote is a simple, no-obligation way to explore your loan options without affecting your credit score.
When you request a soft quote, we assess your financial profile and give you an estimated rate, repayment amount, and loan term based on current lender options.

✔️ No credit file impact
✔️ No commitment required
✔️ Instant comparisons across multiple lenders

It’s ideal if you’re still shopping around or just want to understand what your repayments might look like.

What Is a Full Application?

A full application is the next step once you’re ready to proceed.
This involves submitting your information to the lender for a formal assessment. The lender then completes a credit check, verifies your documents, and provides a confirmed interest rate and loan offer.

✔️ Required for formal approval
✔️ Involves a credit check
✔️ Can lead to same-day approvals (depending on the lender)

What Affects Your Loan Rate?

Lenders consider several key factors when determining your personalised rate and terms. These include:

1. Your Profile

Credit history, employment stability, and income all play a major role in the rate offered. A clean credit file and steady employment can often lead to lower rates.

2. The Asset

The type, age, and condition of the asset (car, caravan, horse float, etc.) can influence risk and therefore the rate. Newer or higher-value assets often attract better rates.

3. Loan Term

Shorter terms generally mean less total interest paid, while longer terms may offer lower weekly repayments but higher total cost.

4. Fees

Every lender has their own structure for establishment, monthly, and exit fees. iCREDIT helps you compare these upfront so there are no surprises.
