Who are we

About Jacaranda

Every year, the banks fail millions of Aussies who need to borrow money. This is often purely because they don't have a high credit score, even if they've been good with money lately.

We think that's unfair, as your credit score doesn't define you. So, when that happens to you, come and talk to us.

We're an Australian-owned, operated, fully online digital lender providing fast and flexible loans.

Our Mission? To be a credible backup plan for everyday Australians if their initial choice for a loan is declined.

Loan Purposes

Loans for any occasion

We know that personal finance isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, which is why we offer flexible loan amounts to help you cover a wide range of needs, both expected and unexpected.

Since 2014, we’ve funded hundreds of thousands of loans and helped countless Aussies get the money they need when they need it.

Fast applications, no paperwork

We know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. As a hard-working Australian, you don’t have time to waste on needless paperwork. That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.

You can complete an initial application in as little as 5-12 minutes1, and it can be done 100% online or in our Better Credit app!

What’s more, you can first check if you qualify for one of our loans in a way that does not impact your credit score at all.

Same-day outcomes2 & rapid transfers

Most customers who complete an application with us during business hours can get an outcome on the same day2. If your application is successful and you accept your digital loan contract, we can then transfer your funds in just 60 seconds or less3!

Help boost your credit score with Comprehensive Credit Reporting (CCR)

The big banks tend to think of their customers as just numbers. Sometimes this can be literal when it comes to credit scores! But at Jacaranda, you’re more than just a number, and our main focus is to help Australians improve their credit scores.

One major way we do this is through Comprehensive Credit Reporting (CCR). CCR means we can provide a more complete picture of your recent credit history to the credit bureaus. This includes any on-time repayments you make, which isn’t the case for lenders who don’t participate in CCR.

By taking out a loan with us and making each of your repayments on time, you could improve your credit score and unlock greater financial opportunities in the future!

Learn more about how Comprehensive Credit Reporting could help you improve your credit score with Jacaranda here.

  • Flexible Repayments

    While our interest rates are fixed, your repayments aren’t set in stone. We will specify a minimum repayment amount in your loan contract, but you can choose to make extra repayments above this amount if you wish. The more you pay, the less you owe, and the less interest you’ll pay.

    We don’t charge any fees for making extra loan repayments or for paying out your loan early.
