What is a fixed-rate loan?
A fixed interest rate is a type of rate that stays the same for a set period of time. With personal loans, having a fixed interest rate generally means the rate will remain unchanged for the entire loan term.
A fixed-rate personal loan offers security and stability: your lender can't increase your rate as set out in your loan contract, and you only have to pay the amount of interest stated in your contract. This secures your repayment amounts for the loan period.
Our fixed loans
At Jacaranda, we offer two main types of fixed loans: our Express Personal Loan and our Medium Amount Loan, aka Cash Boost. We also offer fixed car loans - see our car loans page for more details on that!
Express Personal Loan
We offer fixed-rate personal loans from $5,000 to $25,000 with loan terms up to 48 months, providing you with fixed repayments that make it easier to fit into your budget.
Medium Amount Loan
Designed for those mid-sized expenses that sometimes pop up, our Cash Boost loan has loan limits ranging from $2,100 to $4,600 with loan terms starting from 9 months.
How to apply for our fixed-rate loans
At Jacaranda, we're a 100% online lender. That means there's no hefty paperwork or long lines with us: instead, we utilise state-of-the-art technology that allows you to:
- Complete your application in just 5-12 minutes1 depending on your circumstances;
- Receive a same-day outcome on your application2 if you apply during normal business hours; and
- Have the funds transferred to your account in under 60-seconds3 if approved (if you have an NPP-enabled bank account).

THE LOAN PROCESS
How does the application process work?
1. Submit your application
This is done 100% online and it’s fast and simple. If you’re fast with your fingers it could take as little as 5-12 minutes1 to complete, but it could take longer depending on a number of factors such as 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.
2. We’ll do a credit assessment
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 during normal business hours. 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 or customers that are required to provide additional information may experience a longer timeframe.
3. Review your loan offer
Once you have 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 in their bank account 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.
Fixed vs variable rates: Which should you choose?
Fixed rates and variable rates are the two main types of personal loan interest rates, and they both offer a distinct set of pros and cons that will vary according to each person. A fixed-rate loan, for example, might suit people who like to stick to a budget and want to make consistent repayments, but might not be the better option if interest rates are falling.
Variable rates, on the other hand, can be useful for people who are okay with taking a bit more of a risk and plan on paying off their loan in a shorter period of time.
Jacaranda currently only offers fixed-rate loans.
Fixed vs variable rate loans: pros and cons

Why get a fixed loan with Jacaranda?
In addition to our rapid applications1, fast outcomes2 and even faster transfers3, our fixed loans offer the following advantages:
Make additional repayments at no extra cost
It's true that fixed loans often make it difficult to pay above your minimum repayments - but not Jacaranda's. With us, you can make extra repayments on top of your minimum and there are no fees for doing so. Just log in to your online account or speak to our customer service team to manage your repayments.
No charge for early payouts
Say you come into some money and want to pay out your loan entirely ahead of schedule. Some lenders would charge you a fee for doing so, but not Jacaranda.
With our fixed-rate loans, customers who pay their loan out early do not incur any additional fees or charges for doing so. As our loans are interest-bearing, the total interest paid will likely be lower by repaying your loan ahead of schedule.
Fixed fees that have already been incurred are due and payable.
Flexible repayments your way
Want to change the day of the week you make your regular loan repayments, such as your regular payday? Or do you want to make your repayments more frequently (say weekly instead of monthly) and save a bit of money doing so?
You can easily manage your personal loan repayments online 24/7, 365 days a year, thanks to our secured self-service customer portal. Repayments can be automatically deducted via direct debit, so all you need to do is make sure you have the money in your nominated bank account by the due date.
