Frequently Asked Questions

Stream Finance’s FAQ section answers common questions about personal and vehicle loans, the application process, eligibility, and more. If you can't find what you're looking for, our team is always happy to help.

The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including:

  • Your Credit Profile – A stronger credit score may allow you to access higher loan amounts with better interest rates.
  • Income & Affordability – Lenders assess your income and expenses to determine what you can comfortably afford to repay.
  • Loan Type & Term – The amount you can borrow may vary depending on whether you're financing a car, a personal loan, or another expense. Longer loan terms may allow for higher borrowing amounts.
  • Deposit & Existing Debts – A deposit or trade-in vehicle can impact how much you need to borrow. Existing financial commitments may also influence your maximum loan approval.

The loan approval process can vary depending on the lender and your individual circumstances. However, at Stream Finance, we strive to make the process as quick and hassle-free as possible.

  • Pre-Approval: In many cases, you can receive a pre-approval decision within a few hours.
  • Full Approval: Once all required documents are submitted, approval can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.
  • Funds Release: After approval, funds are usually transferred within 24-48 hours, depending on the lender.

To speed up the process, ensure you have all necessary documents ready, such as proof of income, identification, and any additional paperwork requested by the lender.

Both personal loans and vehicle loans can be used to finance a car purchase, but they have key differences:

1. Vehicle Loan

A vehicle loan is specifically designed for purchasing a car and is secured against the vehicle itself. This means:

  • The car serves as collateral, reducing the lender’s risk.
  • Interest rates are generally lower than personal loans.
  • Loan terms are typically structured around the vehicle’s value.
  • If repayments aren’t made, the lender may repossess the car.

2. Personal Loan

A personal loan is a flexible loan that can be used for various purposes, including buying a car. Key features include:

  • It can be secured or unsecured (unsecured loans often have higher interest rates).
  • You can use the funds for anything, not just a vehicle purchase.
  • Loan amounts and terms may vary based on credit history and income.
  • There is no collateral required (for unsecured loans), but lenders may have stricter eligibility requirements.

If you're purchasing a car and want lower interest rates and structured repayments, a vehicle loan is often the better choice. However, if you need more flexibility or don’t want the car as collateral, a personal loan may be a better fit.

The cost of borrowing money depends on several factors, including the loan amount, interest rate, fees, and loan term. Here are the key costs to consider:

1. Interest Rate

  • The primary cost of borrowing is the interest rate, which is either fixed (stays the same) or variable (can change over time).
  • Interest rates depend on your credit score, loan type, and lender policies.

2. Fees & Charges

Lenders may charge additional fees, including:

  • Application or Establishment Fees – One-time fee to set up the loan.
  • Monthly or Annual Fees – Ongoing costs for maintaining the loan.
  • Early Repayment Fees – Charges for paying off the loan before the agreed term.
  • Late Payment Fees – Fees for missed or late repayments.

3. Loan Term

  • Longer loan terms may lower your monthly repayments, but you’ll pay more interest over time.
  • Shorter loan terms mean higher repayments but less interest overall.

4. Total Repayment Amount

The total cost of borrowing is the sum of the loan amount + interest + fees over the loan period.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance is a type of coverage that helps bridge the financial gap between the amount you owe on your vehicle loan or lease and the vehicle’s market value at the time of a total loss. This ensures you’re not left paying out of pocket if your car is written off or stolen and the insurance payout isn’t enough to cover the outstanding balance.

1.  Your Vehicle is Declared a Total Loss

  • This can occur due to theft or an accident where the vehicle is deemed uneconomical to repair.

2. Standard Insurance Payout

  • Your auto insurer pays the market value of the vehicle at the time of the loss, which may be less than what you owe on your loan or lease.

3. GAP Insurance Coverage

  • GAP insurance covers the shortfall between the insurer’s payout and your outstanding loan or lease balance.

1.  Vehicle Depreciation

  • New cars lose value quickly, often depreciating by 20-30% within the first year. GAP insurance protects against this depreciation.

2. Loan or Lease Protection

  • Ensures you won’t be stuck with a loan or lease balance after your vehicle is written off.

3. Financial Security

  • Provides peace of mind knowing you won’t face unexpected costs in the event of a total loss.

GAP insurance is especially beneficial for:

  • New Car Buyers
  • If your vehicle depreciates faster than you can pay off your loan.
  • High Loan-to-Value Borrowers
  • If you owe more on your loan than the car’s current value.
  • Leaseholders
  • Leasing agreements often result in a gap between what you owe and the vehicle’s value.
  • Buyers with Low or No Down Payments
  • If you made a small down payment, your loan balance may exceed the car’s value for a longer period.

1. Loan or Lease Balance

  • The difference between the vehicle’s insurance payout and the remaining loan or lease amount.

2. Total Loss Scenarios

  • Theft or accidents where the vehicle cannot be repaired.
  •  Deductibles
  • Most policies do not cover the deductible on your standard insurance.
  • Repairs
  • GAP insurance does not cover repair costs for non-total loss incidents.
  • Other Expenses
  • Items like extended warranties, overdue payments, or penalties are typically excluded.

1. Finance GAP Insurance

  • Covers the difference between the insurance payout and the amount owed on a loan or lease.

2. Return-to-Invoice (RTI) GAP Insurance

  • Covers the gap between the insurance payout and the original purchase price of the vehicle.

3. Return-to-Value (RTV) GAP Insurance

  • Covers the gap between the insurance payout and the car’s value at the time of purchase.

GAP insurance is a valuable investment if you:

  • Drive a new or leased vehicle.
  • Are concerned about rapid depreciation.
  • Want to avoid financial strain in case of a total loss.

1. Through Your Dealer

  • Many dealerships offer GAP insurance when purchasing or leasing a vehicle.

2. From an Independent Provider

  • Compare third-party insurers for competitive rates and flexible terms.

3. Add to Your Loan or Lease

  • Some lenders allow you to include GAP insurance in your financing plan.

GAP insurance provides financial protection and peace of mind, ensuring you're not left with debt after a total loss. It's a smart choice for many vehicle owners, particularly those with loans or leases.

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI) is a type of insurance coverage designed to protect vehicle owners from the high costs of unexpected repairs due to mechanical or electrical failures. Unlike standard car insurance, which covers damages from accidents, theft, or natural disasters, MBI focuses solely on the internal components and systems of your vehicle.

While coverage can vary depending on the provider and policy, most MBI plans typically include:

1. Engine and Transmission Repairs

  • Covers essential components like the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain.

2. Electrical Systems

  • Includes items such as alternators, wiring, and onboard computer systems.

3. Cooling and Heating Systems

  • Covers radiators, air conditioning, and heating systems.

4. Steering and Suspension

  • Includes components like power steering and shock absorbers.

5. Braking Systems

  • Covers mechanical failures in your brakes, including master cylinders and ABS systems.

6. Other Key Components

  • Coverage may extend to items like fuel systems, turbochargers, and seals.

MBI typically does not cover:

  • Routine maintenance (e.g., oil changes, tire replacement).
  • Cosmetic issues (e.g., paint, upholstery, or trim).
  • Damage caused by neglect or improper use.
  • Pre-existing issues or wear and tear.

1. Financial Protection

  • Avoid costly repair bills for major mechanical failures.

2. Peace of Mind

  • Drive confidently knowing unexpected breakdowns are covered.

3. Comprehensive Coverage

  • Covers repairs that aren’t included in manufacturer warranties or standard insurance policies.

4. Flexible Plans

  • Choose a policy term and coverage level that suits your budget and vehicle.
  • Used Car Owners
    If your vehicle is out of warranty, MBI can be a lifesaver for unforeseen repair costs.
  • Frequent Drivers
    More miles mean more wear and tear, increasing the likelihood of breakdowns.
  • Owners of Older Vehicles
    Older cars are more prone to mechanical failures and repairs.

1. Choose a Provider
Look for reputable insurers offering flexible plans with clear terms.

2. Assess Your Needs
Consider your vehicle’s age, mileage, and repair history.

3. Review the Policy
Ensure the coverage includes critical systems and matches your budget.

4. Sign Up and Stay Protected
Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle is covered.

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance is a smart investment for vehicle owners looking to avoid costly repair bills. Whether your car is new, used, or nearing the end of its warranty, MBI offers a safety net for unexpected mechanical failures.

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) is a type of insurance designed to cover your loan or credit repayments if you’re unable to make them due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, injury, job loss, or death. It provides financial security and helps prevent falling behind on debts during challenging times.

PPI coverage typically includes:

1. Unemployment

  • Covers repayments if you lose your job due to redundancy or company closure.

2. Illness or Injury

  • Provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to a medical condition or accident.

3. Death

  • Pays off the remaining loan or credit balance in the event of the policyholder’s death.

1.  Application

  • PPI is often purchased alongside loans, mortgages, credit cards, or other forms of credit.

2. Claim Activation

  • If an eligible event occurs (e.g., job loss or illness), you file a claim with your insurer.

3. Payments Made

  • The insurer either makes payments directly to your creditor or provides you with funds to cover the repayments for a specified period.

1. Financial Security

  • Ensures your debts are covered even when you face financial difficulties.

2. Credit Protection

  • Prevents missed payments that can negatively impact your credit score.

3. Peace of Mind

  • Reduces stress by knowing your financial obligations are taken care of during unforeseen circumstances.

While PPI offers valuable benefits, it does not cover:

  • Pre-existing medical conditions.
  • Voluntary unemployment (e.g., quitting a job).
  • Fraudulent claims or circumstances outside the policy terms.

PPI is ideal for individuals who:

  • Rely on a regular income to meet loan or credit repayments.
  • Work in industries with job uncertainty.
  • Have limited savings to cover emergencies.
  • Want to protect their family from financial stress in case of death or disability.

1. Review Your Needs

  • Assess your financial situation and potential risks.

2. Choose the Right Policy

  • Look for a provider offering flexible terms and clear coverage details.

3. Understand the Costs

  • Ensure premiums fit within your budget and check for any hidden fees.

4. Apply

  • Sign up for a policy that complements your existing credit or loan agreements.

Payment Protection Insurance provides valuable support when life takes an unexpected turn. Whether you’re managing a mortgage, personal loan, or credit card debt, PPI ensures your financial commitments are protected.
