5  Bromley R.  · A great company with friendly helpful staff. Any time I had to contact them they were always bright and helpful. They all seem to enjoy what they do
5  Hailey  · Cherie is fantastic! She made everything hassle free and easy! Nothing was to much for her, she always responded to me and kept me updated.
5  Suzanne S.  · Finance One helped me when I had a car crash, they lowered my repayments to pay off what the insurance didn't cover. Very professional agents.
5  Tash s.  · Was very quick and easy & great customer service. I have paid off my vehicle & would be happy to go through finance one again

I agree with the one star reviews, they are bad, [Name Removed] is bad, hollow head, they don’t care about there customers and they will do everything they can to destroy your credit file

Awful experience. Staff lying about conversations "not had". Management, including CEO that are just greedy. No humanity or compassion whatsover. Took out a commercial loan. Staff lied about important conversations. They are the kings of bad credit loans and so their motive seems to be to get one stuck in a bad credit situation so they are the… Read more

only ones that can help you. Filed a judgement court so screwed my credit. Then have the cheak to say that they will provide any finance when this is paid off, when i said they screwed my credit to the extent that I cannot even get small things like a mobile phone!!

The CEO is as helpful as the cane toads! The legal manager lies out of her teeth!

@Finance one, dont respond to say call us and we will help. You are just greedy!

Will Only hurt your credit score as they won't report your loan repayments or loan payout to your credit file – I ended up having to take out a commercial loan for a car through this company in 2021 as my work vehicle broke down. This was my first time getting finance for myself so my credit file was clean in terms of defaults or anything like that. they offered a 21% interest rate and added roughly $2000 in a risk fee. Given my situation i elected to take… Read more

the loan so I could get back to work and figured at least when I pay it off it'll be good for my credit rating. I managed to be ahead of my repayments and even paid off my loan 3 years ahead of schedule. I was proud of this achievement and was excited to see my credit score improve with having successfully paid the loan. I asked when that should be added to my credit file and was told that they don't do positive reporting. Only negative. So with having them do a hard check on my credit when applying for the loan, taking a loan from this company has only hurt my score overall because they won't report the repayments or the successful payout of the loan. This in my opinion in unacceptable. Do not engage this company for finance.

Cameron went above and beyond – Im writing this reveiw for cameron as i think he went above and beyond his dutys as a loan consultant. I rang Cameron earlier this year about a loan but informed me i needed to be in my current job for 3 months. And cameron reached out to me later on and touched base to see how things was going and asked if i wanted to proceed. And with that my… Read more ·  1

wife is now happy and i feel allot better having my children in a new car. Especially in harsh tasmanian conditions. And the whole process took about 3 weeks but that was on me as i was away for work but once i was home and chose a car it was settled with 24 business hours. Cameron made the process so easy and made me feel comfortable taking out a loan from finance one. Im very happy with the weekly repayments. And ill happily be taking out another loan with finance one in the future for a car for myself. And ill be requesting to deal with cameron again. This bloke needs a pay rise or a promotion for his outstanding work and the level of pride he takes in his customers and his work. I cant recommend cameron and finance one enough if your looking for a loan. Cheers Matt Renshaw

Honestly one of the best finance companies I have dealt with – UPDATE: 2025 I have just gone for my third vehicle loan with Finance One and true to form, absolutely amazing! Nathan went the extra mile to ensure they could secure the best rate and finance options. And he’s an absolute friendly champion to boot. Could not recommend them more. And as a bonus you can actually finance a car up to 25 years instead… Read more ·  1

of the regular 7 years which helps people who aren’t looking for a high amount. Thanks Nathan, keep being an absolute legend.

The interest rates can be high but that is because there aren’t as many restrictions on who you can buy from, age of the car etc. also they give you a go if you have poor credit which is a leg up for anyone needing help with finances.

I particularly dealt with Codie (and Melanie)and if fabulous customer service doesn’t have a picture of them next to it, I would be disappointed. The turn around time was exceptional. The availability Codie had to take calls and respond to emails was second to none.

Very grateful for all of it!

Would not recommend very very high interest plus risk fee at start of loan for example I borrowed $12,000 and total loan was $22,400. Also customer service is rather pore paid out loan then has taken them weeks to update credit file and when I questioned it excuse was oh we can only do it 1 day a month

1) – Misleading T&Cs regarding fees 3) – Misleading and/or non-existent T&Cs regarding how interest is calculated and applied. 4) - Despite claiming to be a member of AFCA on their website, they used another entity which isn't a member of AFCA for the contract, so you effectively have no recourse. I took out a commercial loan and repaid it early.… Read more

Only to find you effectively have to pay most of the interest on the entire life of the loan even if you make additional repayments. There was also additional fees of nearly $2000 hidden in the loan, which I am also locked into paying the next four years’ worth of interest on , despite paying out early. None of this is specified in the contract. As the entity the contract is with is not a member of AFCA (different entity to what is advertised on their website – very sneaky), there is nothing you can do about it.

I have had a car loan with Finance One for a number of years now due to personal and health challenges. Finance One were very understanding and gave me an option to settle the loan for a lesser amount. This option enabled me settle the loan and give me some financial relief that I really needed. Thank you very much to the Staff and management of Finance One. I am really happy that I now own the vehicle due to your empathy and assistance. Show reply
