About these fees
Establishment fees
The establishment fee is charged for assessing, documenting and processing your loan. This fee is retained by us at the commencement of the loan.
Monthly fees
The monthly service fee is the cost charged for the administration of the loan. It will depend on the amount you borrow and the term of your loan. The fee will be debited monthly in advance on the first day of the loan term and each month after that.
There is no monthly fee associated with our Cash Boost Loan.
No early repayment or exit fees
Jacaranda Finance does not charge any fees for making extra repayments to your loan. If you want to pay a little more into what you owe and get ahead of your loan balance, it's free to do so with us!
Jacaranda also does not charge a fee for paying out your loan early. To make extra repayments on your Jacaranda loan, log into the FastMoney mobile app or customer portal and choose from a range of options such as debit card payment, bank transfer or direct debit.

Risk fees
The risk fee is a one-off, non-refundable fee that covers the level of risk associated with advancing a loan. This fee is retained by us at the commencement of the loan.
There is no risk fee associated with our Cash Boost Loan.
Missed payment fees
There is a missed payment fee associated with each missed payment. This missed payment fee is added to the account due to the additional administration required due to the missed payment. The missed payment fee is due and payable within the next repayment cycle.
If you're concerned you'll miss a repayment before the next due date, please get in touch with our customer service team as soon as possible. We will help you with a number of options to keep your loan on track. This can help avoid additional fees and charges.
Interest rate
The interest rate (charged on a per-annum basis) associated with your loan will vary based on a number of factors, such as your financial position, the loan product you choose and how much you borrow over what time frame.
Comparison rate
The comparison rate includes the interest rate, fees, and charges relating to a loan and depends on your financial position, how much you borrow and the term of your loan. The comparison rate allows you to easily compare different loan offers from various lenders to determine which option could be the most cost-effective.

When you are considering applying for finance with Jacaranda , you can check if you qualify using our QualifyCheck technology, which does not affect your credit score.
Checking if you qualify
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'.
Submitting your loan application
Once you have checked if you qualify, and in the case that you do qualify, you have the option to submit your application to Jacaranda to perform a credit assessment. By submitting a full application, you authorise Jacaranda Finance Pty Ltd to obtain a copy of your full credit file. Other lenders will be able to see that you applied for a loan with Jacaranda.
Information we provide to Credit Reporting Bureaus (coming in July 2023)
While we receive information from credit reporting bodies, we also advise them about your repayments. This is a good thing because other credit providers will be able to see your repayment history with Jacaranda. If you're making all of your repayments to us on time, this could positively impact your ability to get credit in the future.
