What type of loans do we do?
We provide personal unsecured loans.
Amounts range from $500 up to $5,000 for new customers.
Repayment terms are based on pay cycle frequencies (weekly/fortnightly/monthly).
Your loan limit will be determined based on our affordability index* and our responsible lending checks – a large component in determining your affordability is the amount of your regular income after tax. Your indicative personal loan limit will be calculated at the beginning of the application process. As a responsible lender, we will never lend more than you can afford.
Our assessment is one step to ensure you can meet the agreed obligations under this loan without causing you undue hardship. If you feel this is not the case, please do not sign the Loan Agreement.
Would a loan from us be right for you?
Before obtaining a personal loan, you should consider whether it is a sensible choice that meets your particular financial needs and situation.
Our loans are designed only for temporary use only. Often they are used in an emergency or where a cash shortfall has occurred that is expected to be resolved in a short period of time – for example, paying an unexpected, urgent bill when you don’t have enough funds but know that the next payday is just around the corner. A payday loan could also come in handy to cover:
- An urgent medical bill
- Car repairs
- An unexpectedly high power bill
- Fridge or washing machine repairs
As a responsible lender, we ask that you consider carefully before using our loans to pay for birthday presents, shopping or holidays.
Even though we do our best to try and ensure our cash loans are affordable to repay, only you can decide if the cost of a loan from us is worth it for your particular situation.
There may be other alternatives, such as borrowing from a family member, a friend or a colleague or, for example, getting a credit card advance.
We are not in a position to be able to advise you if a loan from us is appropriate for your specific situation. You may need to seek your own advice in regard to the loan and/or the loan agreement.

How fast will my application be processed?
In general, it takes us within 60 minutes to review a new loan application once we receive all supporting documents. Subsequent loans are generally much faster.
Once you send through all the documents we require, the lending team will need to conduct some checks in an effort to ensure the affordability of the loan and to verify personal and employment details.
Once we have made a lending decision, we will inform you by email and TXT.
