As Suzuki Financial Services is arranged through your Suzuki dealer at the time you purchase your vehicle, it’s simple and convenient too.
Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we use our sophisticated software to calculate an interest rate based on your credit score and many other relevant factors determined by us, such as type of vehicle loan, and much more.
This means you can be confident that you are getting a fair and transparent interest rate.

Many car loans give you flexibility to lower repayments. One option, if you have extra cash, is to add a deposit. You could also take out a car loan with a Guaranteed Future Value*, such as SuzukiSecure which offers lower monthly repayments^ than a fixed rate car loan.
We offer loans ranging from 12 to 84 months in length, subject to Suzuki Financial Services policy and approval, with a variety of flexible payment options. We offer the flexibility of weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payments.

SuzukiSecure is our Guaranteed Future Value (GFV)* product, offering customers security and benefits, such as lower monthly repayments^ compared to a standard car loan with no balloon, over the same term.
Download our SuzukiSecure Quick Guide for more information.
We calculate the GFV* based on sales results of similar vehicles, as well as economic factors. The GFV* can vary based on your loan term and agreed kilometres.
If your car doesn't meet the Fair Wear and Tear guidelines, Suzuki Financial Services will give you the opportunity to have the vehicle repaired. Otherwise, Suzuki Financial Services can organise the repairs and deduct the cost from your Guaranteed Future Value (GFV)*. This adjusted GFV will then be the price that Suzuki Financial Services will offer you if you return the car at the end of your term. Of course, if you keep the car, the condition doesn't matter. And if you trade it in or sell it privately, the condition will obviously impact your sale price.
An excess usage adjustment of $0.0635 per kilometre will apply if, at the end of the term, you have travelled more than the agreed end odometer. This will be deducted from the GFV*, which then becomes your adjusted GFV*.

*The GFV is the minimum value of your Suzuki at the end of your finance contract, as determined by Suzuki Financial Services. If you decide to return your car to Suzuki Financial Services at the end of your term, Suzuki Financial Services will pay you the agreed GFV, which will be put against your final payment subject to fair wear and tear conditions and agreed kilometres being met. Terms, conditions, fees, charges & lending criteria apply. Approved applicants only.

^Lower monthly repayments compared to a similar term with no Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) or equivalent balloon final payment. Total interest charges will be higher if a GFV or balloon final payment is selected.
