FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is personal financial wellbeing?Personal finance wellbeing has many definitions, as financial wellness and freedom look different to everyone. For some, personal financial wellbeing means attaining financial security at a young age and being able to retire early. For others, financial wellbeing means paying off debt so they can access greater financial opportunities or developing positive money management skills they’ll put into practice for years to come.
-
How do you ensure financial wellbeing?You can ensure financial wellbeing by taking a 360-degree approach to your finances. This means setting up your finances in a way where every aspect of your financial ecosystem is taken care of, from implementing a realistic budget that allows you to live comfortably to investing wisely for long-term growth. It’s also important to regularly review your budget and financial routine to ensure it is still working for you and your lifestyle. Financial freedom isn’t about working within unrealistic restraints — it’s about finding the balance between living the life you love and working towards the life you want.
-
Why is money important for overall wellbeing?Like it or not, money plays a massive role in our overall wellbeing. When not managed properly, money can be a big stressor that can leak into other areas of our lives. Having control and knowledge over where and when your money is going puts us in a position of empowerment where we make smarter decisions regarding our finances, from investments to budgets.
-
What are three ways to be financially responsible?You can become more financially responsible in three core ways: regularly saving, working within a budget and debt prioritisation. Take the time to create a detailed budget to track income and expenses, ensuring financial priorities, such as bills and living expenses, are met before delegating a portion of your salary to savings for emergencies and future goals. You can also start minimising your debt levels by slowly chipping away with monthly repayments.
-
What are your fees, penalties, and interest rates?We have zero fees, and no penalties if you would like to increase your repayment amount, or repay your loan early. Our interest rates start at 20.50% (APR 19.46%) across all loan types. Your final interest rate will be personalised, and dependent on several different factors, including information contained in your credit report and bank statements. All interest rates are fixed for the life of your loan, and will reduce as you complete your financial education modules.
-
Where can I see my current loan balance?You can see your account balance once you log in to your Salt & Lime hub. Please note, it may take a few days for repayments to be processed and reflected in your remaining balance.
-
Can I get discounts on my loan?Absolutely - in fact, we encourage it! Throughout the duration of your loan, we will send you 12 financial modules to complete.

The Important Detail
Loan Amount: The Loan amount is subject to a minimum of $4,000 and a maximum of $30,000, secured by an owned vehicle.
Loan Term: The Loan term ranges from 1 to 5 years, as agreed upon by both parties.
Repayment Options: Repayments can be made on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
No Fees: No fees will be charged for the Loan, including for the establishment, settlement, or ongoing account keeping; and no penalties charged for early loan repayment.
Interest Rates: Interest rates range from 20.50% (APR 16.72%) to 39.00% (APR 35.28%). All rates displayed on this website are calculated on a per annum basis.
(1) APR: APR is the Annual Percentage Rate, or comparison rate, inclusive of fees and charges. Given there are no fees on Salt & Lime products, and borrowers may earn discounts to reduce interest rate over the life of the loan, the APR is lower than the advertised interest rate. To achieve a lower APR, customers will need to complete one or more of the 12 provided financial education modules, and/or register for Salary Split, where interest rate discounts are applicable. The advertised APR is calculated based on a secured loan amount of $10,000 over a term of 3 years, on a monthly repayment schedule, with all discounts applied as soon as they become available to borrowers. Example: A borrower with good credit borrowing $10,000 over a term of 3 years with monthly repayments, including an interest rate of 20.50% (APR 16.72%) would pay a monthly repayment of $377.72 and a total amount of $12,564.33. This example takes the full Salt & Lime product model into consideration, where no fees are applicable for the duration of the loan, assumes all financial education modules are completed on the day they are released to the borrower, and the Salary Split interest rate discount is applied on Day 0 (the day of loan settlement).
Interest Rate Discounts: Borrowers may earn interest rate discounts by completing financial education modules provided over the life of the loan.
(2) Same Day Funding: Same day funding can be achieved if all required documents are received on the same day as requested, received in a reasonable timeframe prior to close of business.
(3) Module Discounts: A total of 3.50% in interest rate discount can be achieved over the life of the loan for completing financial education modules, where all 12 financial education modules will need to be completed for the full discount to be applicable. The first module will attract 0.75% in interest rate discount, and each module thereafter (11) will attract a discount of 0.25% each. Please note that the interest rate discount will place a borrower in advance on their loan, and will not alter the current contractual repayment amount. Please note that loans originated prior to 15 December 2022 can only achieve a maximum of 2.75% in interest rates discounts over the life of the loan, as an additional first module (attracting 0.75% interest rate discount) was introduced on this date.
(4) Salary Split Discount: A 2.00% interest rate discount can be achieved if the borrower successfully arranges a Salary Split, where repayments are made directly to the lender via the borrower's payroll. Borrowers will receive supporting forms at settlement, and may also request these forms to be re-sent at any time. The borrower must provide confirmation that the direct debit has been established in order for the discount to be applicable. Please note that the interest rate discount will place a borrower in advance on their loan, and will not alter the current contractual repayment amount.
(5) Refer A Friend Offer: A $100 discount can be achieved on the remaining balance of a current borrower's loan when they refer a friend using their unique referral code. Once the new referred borrower's loan has settled and the referral code verified, the discount will be applied. A $100 discount will also then be applied to the new borrower's current loan balance. There are no limits to the number of new referrals that a current borrower can make. Please note that the $100 discount will place a borrower in advance on their loan, and will not alter the current contractual repayment amount.
Security: The Loan will be secured by a registered security interest over the borrower's vehicle, as specified in the loan agreement. Borrowers must maintain comprehensive insurance on the vehicle for the life of the Loan and provide evidence of insurance upon request.
