How our application process works
At Jacaranda, we're an innovative, 100% online lender specialising in providing fast, flexible finance for everyday Australians. We know you don't have time to waste on lengthy applications.
How our application process works
1. Estimate your repayments online
Before you apply for a loan, we think it's important that you review your budget and be certain that you can comfortably repay a loan.
Use our three-step loan repayment calculator to estimate your repayments before you apply.
Learn more about how our calculator works here.
2. Check if you qualify - without affecting your credit score
Want to see if you're actually eligible for one of our loans before actually submitting an application? Thanks to our 'QualifyCheck' feature, you can check if you qualify for any Jacaranda loan without affecting your credit score.
When you check if you qualify, we can access your credit file in a way that does not impact your credit score and that is not disclosed to anyone other than yourself. If you have alerts set up on your credit file, you will get a notification. This is called 'file access', and is different to a 'full credit enquiry'.
If you don't qualify, your application will be declined without a hard credit check being conducted.
3. Apply online or via our FastMoney app
As an exclusively online lender, we only accept loan applications via our FastMoney mobile app or our online application form. We do not accept applications over the phone or in person.
Click the links above to download our app from either the App Store or Google Play. You can also learn more about how the FastMoney app works here.
Alternatively, click 'Get Started'Â to begin your application on our website.
4. Get started in minutes1
An initial application with Jacaranda can be completed in as little as 5-12 minutes1. More broadly, applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance takes most people between 5-12 minutes1, but it could take longer depending on a number of factors such as, but not limited to, how fast you are at typing or if you have all the required information on hand.
Alternatively, if you like to take things slow, fill in the application at your own pace from anywhere in Australia on any device as long as you have the internet.
5. Get a fast outcome on the same day2
For most customers, we verify the information you provide us and get back to you with an outcome on your application on the same day2 you apply during normal business hours, provided you apply before 3 pm AEST.
If you pass the credit assessment and we can assist you, we'll send a loan offer for you to review.
We do not guarantee same-day outcomes for all customers. Customers that apply outside of business hours, customers that apply after 3 pm during normal business hours or customers that are required to provide additional information may experience a longer timeframe.
6. Funds transferred in 60-seconds3
Once you've been approved and have accepted our offer by signing your digital contract, we automatically attempt to release the money to your bank account. Most customers have a New Payments Platform (NPP) bank account and receive the money within 60 seconds.3
You must have an NPP-enabled bank account. For customers without an NPP-enabled bank account (or the instant payment fails), the money will be available overnight on weekdays and overnight the following business day if approved on a weekend or public holiday.

7. Changed your mind?4
We offer a 48-hour cooling-off period for all loan products. Anyone unsatisfied with their loan for any reason can return the total principal funds, including any payments made to third parties on your behalf, within a 48-hour cooling-off period and cancel their loan.4
If you purchased a vehicle or other item with your loan, Jacaranda does not require the seller to cancel the sale or release the funds back to you. Returning your purchase to the dealer, the seller or Jacaranda Finance doesn't qualify as a loan cancellation. The loan is only cancelled once the funds have been received and have cleared within the Jacaranda Finance bank account.
At Jacaranda, we're an innovative, 100% online lender specialising in providing fast, flexible finance for everyday Australians. We know you don't have time to waste on lengthy applications.

- Be at least 19 years of age.
- Be employed on a permanent or casual basis.
- Have a consistent income going into your own bank account for the last 90 days.
- Be in control of your finances and be handling existing financial commitments comfortably.

We use the information you provide in the online application form as well as information on your bank statements to make sure that you qualify for a loan product during our credit assessment. If you don't qualify, your application will be declined without a credit check being conducted.
Once we have verified that you meet our non-credit report-related criteria, we do perform a credit check as part of our credit assessment, where an inquiry will be left on your credit file.
We will never perform a credit check without your express consent, which you provide to us when you apply for a loan with Jacaranda Finance. We store your acknowledgement and consent for seven years, and it can be supplied on demand.
There are four credit reporting bodies that we may use to conduct a credit check:
- Equifax
- Experian
- illion
- Talefin

If you need assistance or can't find the answers to your questions before you decide to apply, simply contact our customer service team during normal business hours, and they will be happy to assist you.
Being prepared before you start your application will ensure that it is fast and easy to complete.
The application form will ask you for personal information about yourself that you should know or have easy access to.

We utilise safe and secure third-party Open Banking service providers to make this quick and easy for you. You'll need to have your internet banking details handy.
Once your application is complete, our credit assessment team may ask for more information depending on the details you’ve provided, such as ID documents, payslips and loan statements. We've built our own custom technology that makes this simple and easy for you to provide online via our loan platform.
Read more about our security and privacy policy.
If your application is approved and we provide you with a loan offer, we will send the details of your offer electronically for you to consider in the form of a digital loan contract.
Read and consider your contract thoroughly before following the instructions to sign the contract digitally. Once the contract has been signed, you will be emailed a copy for your records. It can also be accessed through your account in the customer portal, within the FastMoney mobile app, or by contacting our customer service team to request a copy.
If we are unable to assist you, we will decline your loan application. We will notify you via SMS and email that your application has been declined.
