Term Loan
Whether you’re buying a business, purchasing a new asset, or just need an extra boost, a Heartland Term Loan could help give you the cash injection you’re after.
With term loans up to 5 years, and the flexibility to adjust your monthly repayments, we’re here to help you build your business.

How does Heartland’s Term Loan work?
To help you take control of your finances, Heartland Term Loans allow the flexibility to adjust your loan term as you go.
We'll agree together on a starting regular repayment amount. If you ever want to pay more or less, or make a lump sum repayment, just get in touch.
- How much control will I have over my repayments
-
If your application is approved, we will set a minimum repayment amount based on a 5-year term. However, you have the option to make higher repayment amounts (and so repay your loan sooner), knowing you'll have the flexibility to lower those payments down to that minimum at any time, with no additional loan agreements or costs. Simply give us two working days' notice.
You can also increase your repayment amount, make additional repayments or make a full repayment at any time at no charge, again with two days' notice. - How long can I take a Term Loan for ?
- Heartland offers loan terms of up to five years with regular principal and interest repayments, except Professional Fee Finance which offers loan terms for 6-12 months only.
- Does Heartland offer term loans longer than five years?
- Yes, we can look into this for you. If you’d like a term loan longer than five years, get in touch at [email protected] and one of the team can assist.
- What is the impact of choosing a loan with a longer term?
-
If you choose to lower your repayments for your Heartland Term Loan, it will take you longer to repay your loan. Lowering your repayments may assist your cashflow, as you won't have to pay as much as you currently do each week, fortnight or month. As your situation changes, you can also choose to make additional prepayments and pay your loan off sooner. We encourage you to do this if you can.
It's important to note that lower repayments will also impact the total amount you pay as interest accrues over the lifetime of the loan. The longer it takes for you to repay your loan, the greater the amount of interest you'll need to pay. - Can I consolidate a Heartland Term Loan with an existing loan from another bank?
- We want to make banking easier for our customers. If you have an existing business loan with another bank, you can consolidate your debts into one. We'll ask you for more details in your Heartland Term Loan application.
- What is the interest rate for Heartland Term Loan?
- Interest rates start from 8.70% p.a. and depend on a range of factors. Once you have completed the online application, one of our lending specialists will discuss interest rates and repayments with you.
- Is there a minimum or maximum loan amount?
- The minimum Heartland Term Loan amount is $10,000 (except Professional Fee Finance, which offers a minimum loan amount of $5000), and there is no maximum. However, we will need additional information and partial security for any amount above $100,000. Any amount above $250,000 will require full security.
- Can I take out a loan if I don’t bank with Heartland?
- You don’t have to bank with Heartland in order to take out one of our Term Loans. They’re designed to work in conjunction with your existing everyday business bank account.
