Types of personal loan
With so many loan options available it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. Read on for some advice on the different types of loan available.
Unsecured loan
This is a loan that is not secured by any type of asset. Because there is greater risk for the lender interest rates tend to be relatively high. These loans are usually used for small purchases up to around $2,000.
Secured loan
A secured loan is one in which you use an asset as security or collateral for the loan. If you fail to make repayments on the loan then the lender takes possession of the asset. Secured loans are a preferred option as the interest rates charged are usually lower than unsecured loans.
Variable rate loan
These loans have an interest rate that rises and falls in line with market conditions. The rate charged depends on changes to the official cash rate. This is a good loan option to choose if interest rates are low or are expected to fall. In general these loans work out to be cheaper than fixed rate loans.
Fixed rate loan
With a fixed rate loan the interest rate charged remains the same for a fixed period of the loan term. This means that loan repayments will be the same each month allowing you to easily manage your cash flow.

Hi Rhonda, if you are a homeowner you shouldn't have any problem getting a loan for $4000. It is generally harder to get an unsecured loan once you are retired - but because you have a regular pension you may be eligible. Call into your bank for free advice.
