If you're looking for a fast loan, you usually want the answer to one question: how quickly can the money be in my account? Here's an honest answer, including the parts that are outside our control.
You complete the application. It takes about five minutes if you have your details ready — our online loans page lists what to have ready.
Your bank statement transactions are checked. This happens while you're still in the application and usually only takes a few moments.
An assessor picks it up. Typically in under 1 business hour.
Assessment. We review your income, expenses and affordability.
The decision. We contact you either way.
Signing. If approved, you review and sign your contract.
Funding. We transfer the money.
$500
$5,000
Repayment frequency header
New customers must work and earn $700+/wk to be eligible to apply.
* Repayment amount is a guide only. If your loan application is conditionally approved, your loan contract will list the repayment amounts, the number and frequency of repayments, when they are due, and any fees and charges.
How fast is a fast loan?
Fast refers to how quickly we look at your application and, if it's approved, transfer the funds. It doesn't mean approval is automatic. Every application is assessed, and not all of them are approved.
The application process has multiple micro stages and we have developed market leading automated processing to fast track applications through these stages. Before an application receives final approval, our assessors review it and this is usually within one business hours.
How soon will someone look at my application?
On average, our assessors start work within minutes of an application being submitted during business hours.
How quickly can I get the money?
Same-day funding is available. If your application has all the required information and is approved before late afternoon, you will be funded the same day. We strive to make the process as efficient and fast as possible.
What's the fastest way to get a quick loan approved?
Have your details ready before you start, make sure the income you state matches your bank statements, and answer your phone if we call.
Does applying outside business hours slow things down?
We have automated processing that will continue 24/7. However, before final approval is given, an assessor will need to review your application during business hours. Don't worry though, if you apply outside of business hours, you will keep your place in the queue.
Does a fast decision mean my application isn't properly assessed?
No. What's fast is the processing, not the assessment. Our automated stages handle the mechanical parts like verifying details, pulling your transaction history etc, so that an assessor can get to your application sooner. Every application is still reviewed by a person, and as a licensed credit provider we're required to check that the loan is affordable for you before we approve it.
Is a fast loan more expensive than a slower one?
No. How quickly we assess your application doesn't change what the loan costs.
When we assess applications
Our assessment department works Monday to Friday, 7.30am – 4.30pm and we are open every day of the year, except Australian National Public Holidays.
What if I need a loan urgently?
Sometimes the deadline is the whole problem.
A disconnection notice, a car you need back by Monday, a bond due before you can move in. If that's you, two things are worth doing.
What slows a quick loan application down
Four things turn a same-day decision into a multi-day one, and all four are avoidable.
