We can make loans happen when the banks won’t

About Jacaranda Finance

Read all about who we are, our mission, and how we can help you.

Our Customer Promise

Every year, banks reject millions of everyday Aussies who need to borrow money.

Often, it’s because their credit score isn’t high enough. But that’s an unfair assessment since credit scores don’t tell the whole story of your current and recent financial behaviour.

That’s why we do things a little differently at Jacaranda Finance. So, if rejection happens to you, give us a go.

We're an Australian-owned, fully online digital lender dedicated to providing fast, flexible and fair personal and car loan assessments.

Our mission? To be the backup lender of choice for everyday Australians when your bank says no.

Who are we?

The Jacaranda Finance Story

We began in 2014 with a simple vision – to support the millions of everyday Australians who are being failed by a traditional lending system that isn't fast, simple, responsive, or customer-focused.

Unlike the banks, which focus chiefly on your credit score, we understand that this one figure doesn’t capture the full picture of your ability to service a loan. Instead, we use our custom-designed Edge Score to create a fuller, more accurate picture of your financial behaviour by reviewing up to a year’s worth of bank statements.

It's an approach that has paid dividends. During the past decade, we’ve been able to help hundreds of thousands of customers satisfy their lending needs. Growing from a small operation to a national team, we’re now one of the highest-rated consumer lenders in the country, and we have numerous awards and accolades to our name.

We continue to raise the bar on what fast, simple, and convenient finance should look like and have also extended our focus to helping customers build a better financial future with our education tools.

We’re your credible backup plan when the banks say no and your trusted partner in unlocking better financial opportunities – for now and the future.
