Centrelink Youth Allowance loans
Many lenders do not offer Centrelink Youth Allowance loans as they do not accept this benefit as a suitable form of income. At Jacaranda Finance, we endeavour to give all of our applicants a fair assessment on a personal loan. As a result, we will consider a range of factors when determining whether we can offer our customers loans on Centrelink.
If you’re unsure whether you would qualify for loans when on Centrelink, we encourage you to apply anyway. It’s free to do so and we understand that every situation is different. Ultimately, we may be able to provide you with the urgent payment you’ve been looking for.
Less stress & more breathing space with lower repayments
Unlike a Payday Loan or Cash Advance that other lenders offer, our Personal Loan repayment period is suitably long to give you some breathing space while repaying.
This means your repayments will be lower, and in most cases less financially straining than the Payday or Cash Advance loan you may have used in the past.
We are also able to assess your situation based on a higher loan application amount, as the repayments are spread out over a longer time frame.
Centrelink Loans FAQ
How do people on Centrelink benefits apply for loans?
Centrelink customers can apply for loans online by completing our easy online application form found here. You just let us know how much you would like to borrow over how long you would like to repay the loan.
What do you need to apply?
To apply you don’t need any paper work. You just need to fill out the application form and meet the basic requirements, which are:
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- An Australian citizen or permanent resident
- Receive regular income over the past 90 days (your Centrelink payments)
What Centrelink payments are accepted?
We accept all Centrelink payments. You need to provide evidence that you receive a regular income so that we know you will able to repay your loan over a period between 12 – 24 months. The evidence is in the form of a CENTRELINK INCOME STATEMENT which you will upload during your application.
How much can you borrow?
We can provide loans for people who receive Centrelink anywhere between $300 and $10,000. Though it’s important that you only borrow an amount that you can safely afford to repay.
As responsible lenders we will only lend you to you an appropriate amount based on financial assessment of your individual situation.
How much does it cost to borrow?
The amount it costs to borrow loans for people on Centrelink depends on the amount. For instance:
- For loans between $300 and $2,000, it will cost an establishment fee of 20% the total loan amount plus, additional fees of 4% per month.
- For amounts between $2,001 and $4,600, it will cost an establishment fee of $400 plus an Annual percentage rate of 48%.
- For amounts between $5,000 and $10,000, it will cost an annual percentage rate of 21.24%.
The fees are added to the loan amount and then divided by the loan term. This is how much you will repay per money.
How do repayments work?
Repayments work by repaying the loan amount plus the fees. It is usually done by setting up a direct debit so that the payments come out of your account automatically.
Repayments for your loan can be set up to come out of your account on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, depending on what suits you best. The repayments are made until the total loan amount is repaid.
What if I can’t make my repayments?
If you are unable to make a payment on your loan it’s important not to ignore it. This is because you could get charged, expensive penalty fee of $35 for missing a payment.
Instead, let us know at least 24 hours in advance and we can help to arrange an alternative for you.
