Can you get an instant loan online?

While we cannot provide an instant outcome on a loan, we pride ourselves on coming as close to instant loan delivery as we can.

In line with our responsible lending obligations, we must conduct an unsuitability assessment to ensure you can manage your loan repayments if you are approved for a loan.

Why get an 'instant' loan online?

While we cannot provide you with instant loan approval, Jacaranda Finance is one of Australia's fastest online lenders. At Jacaranda, we understand that when you want a personal loan, you don't have time to waste. You're probably very busy, and spending days waiting on your application is the last thing you need.

This is why we created a simple, easy, and fast online application process so you can receive your money almost instantly. We were one of the first lenders in Australia to deliver a 60-second3 loan transfer, and we often process our loans on the same day2.

Most customers get an outcome on their loan application on the same day during normal business hours once we have received all of the supporting information we require. Customers that apply outside of business hours or customers that are required to provide additional information may experience a longer timeframe.

Most customers have a New Payments Platform (NPP) bank account and receive the money in their bank account within 60 seconds. For other customers who do not have an NPP-enabled account, the money will be available overnight on weekdays and overnight the following business day if approved on a weekend or public holiday.

Am I eligible for a loan with Jacaranda?

You must meet the following basic eligibility criteria before submitting an application:
  • 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.
  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident with a fixed address.
  • Have an active email address, phone number, and online banking account in your name that belongs to you.

If you are unsure whether you're eligible, you can check if you qualify initially. This will not impact your credit score.

We accept a wider range of credit history than a bank or a prime lender, but we do not recommend submitting an application if:

  • You are currently or recently bankrupt (you must be three years discharged and in control of your finances)
  • You are not comfortably repaying your existing financial obligations

Information you will need to provide:

  • Basic personal information (i.e. full name, address, D.O.B, employer, dependant number)
  • Online banking details

There are instances where our team may need to request further information or supporting documents from you. Don't worry, we will let you know exactly what we need and why we need that information from you.

No. As a responsible lending body, Jacaranda Finance is required to complete a credit check on all applications. Before you formally apply with Jacaranda, you can check if you qualify for a loan in a way that does not impact your credit score. We do this by performing a 'soft' credit check that is only visible to you.

If you don't meet our initial criteria, your credit score won't be affected.

Once you've checked your eligibility and we've let you know that you do qualify for a loan, you have the option to move forward with a full application.

We will perform a credit assessment during this process, which involves checking your credit report. By submitting a full application, you authorise Jacaranda Finance to obtain a copy of your full credit file, referred to as a 'hard' credit check.

Other lenders will be able to see that you applied for a loan with Jacaranda.

This might impact your credit score.
