About Us
We're so much more than a lender
We believe most people are misrepresented financially and that current lending models aren't sustainable.
Current lending models aren't sustainable.
What does that mean?
The way that we earn and spend money has changed. People find it difficult to predict their spending, and it difficult to tell what will be left over at the end of the month. Traditional lenders aren’t able to accurately capture what we’re all getting in and spending each month and often say no to good applications, lend to people who actually can’t afford their loans.
Why does it matter?
Irresponsible lending creates two things - a bad reputation for this industry and desperate people ending up in situations they can’t get out of. Traditional lenders ask for the basics, and get you to assume what you spend. We make sure we know exactly what’s coming in and going out and that you only get what you can afford. Yep, we’ll even track that Netflix bill and we’ll do it all without you having to lift a finger.
Sometimes you need a little cash to see you through.
We understand that you needed it yesterday.
We also understand that the money you borrow today can affect you down the line, which is why we’re committed to helping you carve out a future of financial wellness.
We offer super-fast, same day loans from $300 - $10,000.
We’ve built backend systems that speed up and verify the boring part so we can focus on what matters - getting you your money.
That’s where we are different; we take the positives out of traditional and modern day lending to approve more loans quicker. We offer one of the quickest Personal Loan services in the country. Most of our clients have an outcome on their Personal Loan application within 1 hour of submitting the completed loan application.
Personal Loan Repayment
Unlike a Payday Loan or a Cash Advance, our Personal Loan repayment period gives you some breathing space while repaying. This means your repayments will be lower and, in most cases, more affordable. We don’t charge a processing fee if you are unsuccessful with your loan application, nor do we charge an early settlement fee if you pay off your loan early. We're proud of our local heritage and embody what it means to be Australian. We're homegrown, down-to-earth and always try to look on the bright side. We’re here to help - it’s as simple as that.
Our aim, regardless of the outcome of your loan application, is to help you move forward in life. Regardless of where you are in your life, know that you'll be welcomed at Jacaranda Finance and treated with the same respect and care that we would a dear friend in need. We're aware of the stigma attached to our industry, and use transparency, honesty and damn good service to prove that we are the lender for you and, we always try to imagine ourselves in your shoes - be they thongs, work boots or high heels
