Our verdict

HFC Bank suits borrowers in Fiji who want a fixed rate personal loan straight from the lender, with borrowing of up to FJD 50,000 and an APR of 12% to 18%. The establishment fee climbs steeply as the loan grows, and support runs on phone and email, so help is a call or an email.

Who it suits

  • Borrowers who want to deal with the lender from application to repayment (direct lender).
  • People funding home improvement work, the named use case for these loans (home improvement).
  • Anyone consolidating existing debts, since debt consolidation is among the loan types on offer (personal, secured and credit line).

Who should look elsewhere

  • Borrowers chasing the lowest headline rate, since Cashspace lists an APR of PHP 12 to PHP 36.
  • Those who want a wider spread of rates, since Monzo Flex lists an APR of 10% to 23%.

How your money is protected

HFC Bank is a direct lender (direct lender), so the borrower applies to and deals with the bank itself, and no intermediary sits between the application and the agreement. The regulator named for its market is the Reserve Bank of Fiji. With a direct lender, the rate, term, establishment fee and repayment schedule all arrive in one set of terms rather than as a summary of somebody else's offer.

The company behind it

The lending entity is Home Finance Company PTE Limited, trading as HFC Bank, with its head office in Fiji. It has lent in its home market since 1962, so it is an established name rather than a new entrant. Support runs on phone and email, which covers phone and email for anyone already holding a loan.

Frequently asked questions

What rate does HFC Bank charge on a personal loan?+

The personal loan is priced at an APR of 12% to 18%, and the rate type is fixed (fixed), so the rate you accept is the rate you pay across the term. Nothing in the terms shifts with a base rate, which makes the total cost easier to plan ahead.

What fees will I pay on the loan?+

There is an establishment fee, and it rises with the size of the loan: a small flat charge on the lowest band, a much larger flat fee in the middle band, and 1% of the limit amount on the top band. It sits on the balance rather than the rate.

Who regulates HFC Bank, and do I deal with a broker?+

The Reserve Bank of Fiji is the regulator named for the market HFC Bank lends in, and the lender trades as Home Finance Company PTE Limited. It is a direct lender (direct lender), so no broker sits between the application and the agreement you sign.

How long is the loan, and how quickly do funds arrive?+

Terms run 24 to 84, so the balance is cleared over a defined period. Once an application is approved, access to the money follows acceptance of the offer, as set out in Immediate access to funds subject to acceptance of offer.

Which kinds of loan can I take with HFC Bank?+

Personal, secured, credit line and debt consolidation lending (personal, secured and credit line), with home improvement named as the use case (home improvement). Home lending for purchase, remortgage and buy to let purposes (purchase, remortgage and buy to let) sits alongside the personal products.

Is it cheaper than the other lenders here?+

Compare the ranges rather than a single headline: HFC Bank's personal loan runs at 12% to 18%, Cashspace lists PHP 12 to PHP 36, and Monzo Flex lists 10% to 23%. Each lender charges its own fee, so the lowest rate is not always the lowest total once the establishment fee is counted.

How do I get help with a loan I already hold?+

Support runs on phone and email, so phone and email are the routes in. The bank has lent since 1962 from its head office in Fiji, and questions about a live loan go to the same operation that issued it.
