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.
Why should I choose Jacaranda Finance?

This is not an offer for credit. The amount you can borrow as well as the offer you receive may vary once you complete an application and all relevant details are captured and verified. Fees, credit criteria and terms and conditions apply. Example tables and calculators are illustrative only and are not intended to be your sole source of information when making a financial decision. Consider whether to get advice from a licensed financial adviser.
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.

No. As a responsible lending body, Jacaranda Finance is required to complete a credit check on all applications. 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
