Jordana’s job was hectic - but Driva's digital processes meant she could progress with her application, 24/7.
Night shifts, on-call, overtime - Jordana's job was rewarding but certainly had its challenges.
Getting in contact with finance companies during normal business hours was one of those challenges, which meant when she was ready to upgrade to a new car she struggled to get a finance application started anywhere. She was also only 2 months into her role, which meant many lenders needed more employment history before they’d be willing to give her a loan.
Then Jordana found Driva. Driva’s fully digital processes meant she could progress with her loan application online and on her own terms. Driva was also able to find her a lender that would consider her previous employment given she’d been in the industry for several years. Jordana then completed the entire loan process in under a week without a single phone call.
Mark got the bike he always wanted with a low, fixed rate secured motorcycle loan
Mark’s always loved riding - and when he was younger he spent all his spare time tinkering with or riding motorbikes.
When Mark had kids, this fell by the wayside. He spent most of his time (and money!) on family, which meant very little time left for getting on the bike.
When his youngest child finally moved out of home Mark was ready to re-ignite his passion for riding with a new set of wheels, but didn’t have the cash to get the bike he had his heart set on up front.
Mark realised he could use Driva to get a secured motorcycle loan at a great rate, and was out on the open road in no time.
James got a personal loan loan for his 1974 Mustang
As James got older, his appreciation for vintage cars grew stronger. He had owned a couple over the years, and in many cases actually made a great return on refurbishing, enjoying and then selling vehicles.
When James stumbled across a 74’ mustang at a great price, he knew it was a steal. While he didn’t have the cash upfront, he was confident the car was a great investment and would be awesome to own.
But James wasn’t sure if he could get a loan for a vehicle that age.
Using Driva's loan matching tool, he found his options for unsecured car loans and was able to get the keys from the private seller same day.
Bec got the people mover a single mother needs, stress-free
Since becoming a single parent a number of years ago, Bec wasn’t sure how her borrowing power would be impacted. Bec was worried that lenders wouldn't include all her various forms of income (including Centrelink and Child Support) as well as her employment income.
She didn’t want to go through the embarrassment of test-driving a car and then applying for finance only to be knocked back without an explanation.
When Bec found Driva and received her loan matches, she was hesitant at first. But after speaking to the team and hearing that Driva would only share her application with lenders once we knew she was likely to be approved, she was able to move quickly.
Once Bec was pre-approved, she was able to look for a car with confidence.
Nicole was a relatively young entrepreneur, who learnt quickly the ups and downs of running a small business and how quickly bankruptcy can take hold. Find out how she used Driva to get a car loan once she was back on her feet.
After a few years of success, her first venture declared bankruptcy when ambitious expansion plans didn’t quite go as expected.
While Nicole managed to pay back most of her creditors, the black mark on her credit file from several years ago made it difficult for her to get a new car. This was despite her new full-time job that had great pay and security.
When Nicole first retrieved her quotes through Driva, she was skeptical when she was presented with two lenders options after most other finance companies had said no. She quickly learnt that Driva had lenders on their panel that specialised in good quality customers with impaired credit files (as long as the explanation made sense!).
Gerdus saved $13k by refinancing
Gerdus works as an electrical engineer on the mines in remote Northern Western Australia. When he isn't fixing things at work, he’d be out fishing or camping.
This meant when it came to financing his new Toyota Landcruiser, he didn’t have time to shop around, so went with his dealer's financing option at a higher rate. What made matters worse, was that his remote postcode meant he was automatically excluded from some lenders despite a strong credit score and steady income. That meant when he purchased his car, he got it at a rate that wasn’t anywhere near as good as it could have been.
After a few years of ownership, Gerdus stumbled across Driva. Using the Driva platform, he quickly found he could reduce his interest rate from 8.8% to 6.0%, saving him $13k over the life of the loan.
