Mini Loan FAQs

What is a Safe Mini Loan?

A Safe Mini Loan is a small personal loan. This means, if approved, you'll receive cash directly into your bank account. 

We offer two types of personal loans - a Small Amount Credit Contract ('SACC') for loans from $500 to $2,000 and a Medium Amount Credit Contract ('MACC') for loans from $2,001 to $5,000. These loans are regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (2009).

Who can apply?

As long as you are a Permanent Australian Resident, 18 years of age or older, have a bank account and phone in your name, and a driver’s licence or 100 points of ID, you’re welcome to apply.

For new clients (never had a loan with us before), you need to be working. You can also be receiving Centrelink benefits, but your take home wage needs to be at least $700/week. We are unable to accept an application if you only receive Centrelink benefits.

* Please note if you are a past client and have had a loan with us before you are welcome to reapply whether you meet this criteria or not.

How much can I borrow?

You can apply for any amount from $500 to $5,000. All enquiries are welcome and we try to help everyone.

How much do I have to pay if my loan is funded?

For loans up to $2,000 we charge an establishment fee and set monthly fees instead of interest. The maximum establishment and monthly fees are set out below:

Loan amount Establishment fee Monthly fee
$500 $100 $20
$1,000 $200 $40
$1,500 $300 $60
$2,000 $400 $80
For loans greater than $2,000 and up to $5,000, an establishment fee of $400 and a loan management fee of up to $399 applies, depending on the loan amount. We have a starting interest rate of just 8.7%, up to a maximum Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 48% per annum depending on the loan term and amount. Comparison rate is 66.25% *
Information
*The comparison rate for a $2,500 loan with a $400 establishment fee, 2 year term, and weekly repayments is 66.25%. WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate. Safe Finance does not offer a loan of $2,500 over a term of 2 years.

Loan cost examples

Let's say you want to borrow $1,000 for an unexpected expense. The fees that will apply are a one-off establishment fee of $200 plus a monthly fee of $40 for the term of the loan. Our minimum loan term for a $1000 loan is 26 weeks. So in this example, the total expected repayment amount over 26 weeks will be $1,479.22 — $1,000 principal loan that you borrowed, plus a $200 establishment fee and $279.92 in monthly fees.

Or, if you are looking for a larger loan of say $2,100 over 40 weeks, the total expected repayment amount for a weekly payer is $2,999.20 — $2,100 principal loan that you borrowed, plus a $400 establishment fee, $399 loan management fee and interest of only $100.20.

In both these loan examples, you will save on either monthly fees or interest if you decide to repay the loan sooner.

How long do I have to pay off the loan?

Our loan terms vary depending on the amount you wish to borrow. We have a minimum and maximum term for loan amounts up to $2,000, which are shown on our mini loan calculator and in the table below.

Loan AmountMinimum TermMaximum Term
$50013 weeks26 weeks
$1,00026 weeks50 weeks
$1,50026 weeks50 weeks
$2,00026 weeks50 weeks

For loans greater than $2,000, we offer a term of 40 weeks only. There are no restrictions or penalties for repaying your loan early. You could save on interest or fees should you choose to do this.
