Applying for a loan with Community First

When you apply for a loan with Community First, we can generally give you a pre-approval in as little as 24-48 hours. Depending on what is most convenient for you, you can choose to apply online, over the phone, or by visiting one of our Financial Services Stores.

Loan calculators

Our Loan Calculators will help you work out a range of calculations such as how much you may be able to borrow, what your repayments will be, and how additional repayments can affect your loan term and interest paid.


Secured loans versus unsecured loans

Our loans are generally either secured or unsecured.

Mortgage Secured Loans

Mortgage Secured Loans are those where you offer a mortgage over real property, usually a house, unit or block of land, to cover the loan. The amount of a mortgage secured loan is usually larger and, because the loan is secured, the interest rate charged is lower.

Unsecured loans

Unsecured Loans are those where no mortgage is taken to secure the loan. The amount borrowed is usually lower and the time taken to repay the loan (the term of the loan) is shorter. Interest rates, whilst very competitive, are higher than for loans secured by mortgage.
