What Our Customers Say ...

We know that customers are at the centre of our business. That is why everything we do, we do for our customers. See why Credit One has become one of the most trusted and preferred brokers in Australia.

My name is Geoff. I went through Credit One, a third choice as other finance companies, in Melbourne I might add, was so disengaged and just couldn't be bothered with the difficult task I needed. So I give Credit One a chance, it started as, oh, I'm not sure about this? but as we progressed it started to become more tangible? Then the lady I was dealing with, Emma, stepped up to the plate, and went way and beyond the line of duty.
My finance was very difficult indeed to achieve, and I knew that! Emma nailed it, and Alan the manager, was extremely helpful as well! I have to say in the end, I can't fault them.
I don't usually give my opinions to anybody in writing, but these individuals deserver praise. They kept me informed of everything that was happening, and WOW, there was a lot that happened! and it took such a long time to complete, and such a big headache it was!
I will give them 10 out of 10, as I was extremely impressed! Great job, your company should be proud to have such dedicated staff!

Emma Johnson from Credit One was super helpful and quick to help me get approved for a loan. She’s was very informative and helped answer all the questions I had. Emma is lovely and professional and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend her!

Shaylah was extremely kind and energetic the whole process of getting the loan and willing to do what it took to get the loan done quickly and with consideration to my needs. Was fantastic to work with and 100% would suggest going through this company.

Highly recommend Alan to help with all your loan needs. We have used many brokers over the years and we can confidently say that Alan has been by the far the best. Knowledgeable, no fuss, professional and efficient - we would and will continue to use Credit One in the future.

Have found my new go to for finance. A very professional team who are very supportive in all step required. Nothing was too complicated and always kept in touch with the process.

I have dealt with Michael a few times now and each time he delivers with fast reliable service. He keeps in touch and knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for finance.

New And Used Boat Finance

Credit One offers finance for both new and used boats. Boats can be purchased either through a dealership or private sale. Lenders may have some conditions on used boats, and private sales, plus a used boat, will generally attract a higher rate than buying new.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to secure boat finance?

Credit One are Australia’s boat finance specialists. We pride ourselves on providing the fastest possible service whilst still offering the competitive products that have made Credit One an award-winning broker. Our premium, low-rate boat loan approvals can be arranged quite often on the same day. However, the time it takes to secure your boat loan from one of our partnered lenders will depend on your unique financial circumstances and objectives. For the most accurate timeframe, get in contact with a member of our friendly staff today.

Can I get boat financing for a private sale?

Going to one of the big banks or another lender and applying for a loan for a purchase from a private vendor will often result in resounding denial. However, with Credit One, we boast access to a more diverse range of lenders that we negotiate with on your behalf to secure you a boat loan from a private sale. No matter the selling circumstances with which you want to purchase a boat, we’ll do our best to secure the solution from one of our financiers and receive our comprehensive brokerage service.

What do I need to provide to secure financing for a boat?

What we’ll need from you comes down to the nature of the loan you are looking to secure through one of our lenders. For business boat loans in Australia, you will need to supply your Australian Business Number (ABN), plus other relevant financial statements, including a balance sheet, a profit and loss statement, and tax return statements dated from the past two years.

Personal boat loans require a little less complexity. Starting by signing the privacy forms that will be sent to you as part of your application. Then, you will need to provide your broker with relevant information to provide your financial capabilities, like your pay slip, bank statements, driver’s license as well as applicable rates, or rental information.

Is it better to buy a boat outright, or finance one?

The decision to purchase your next boat outright or apply for a boat loan is entirely up to you. Which is the better option for you will come down to your unique financial circumstances and objectives. Financing for a boat has numerous benefits over purchasing one outright. Some of the main reasons Credit One Customers decide to finance their boat include:

Get Your Low-Rate Quote

Once you start completing payments on time, you will build your credit history, which will help you get more significant loans in the future at a lower rate.
When you choose to finance your boat, you will have access to your money when you need it, rather than all your available cash being tied up in the boat at once had you purchased it outright.
Financing a boat allows you to get out on the water immediately. You won’t need to put money away for years to save and purchase the boat, and you can instead use that money over time to fund the repayments.
You can also consolidate multiple loans into a single loan paid monthly. This means you will only need to consider one payment.
