About Jacaranda
Every year, the banks fail millions of Aussies who need to borrow money. This is often purely because they don't have a high credit score, even if they've been good with money lately.
We think that's unfair, as your credit score doesn't define you. So, when that happens to you, come and talk to us.
We're an Australian-owned, operated, fully online digital lender providing fast and flexible loans.
Our Mission? To be a credible backup plan for everyday Australians if their initial choice for a loan is declined.

Our loan application process has been designed to be as simple and quick as possible, as we know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. How quickly you can apply for a personal loan and receive your funds will depend on your situation.
Applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance takes most people 5-12 minutes1, but it could take longer depending on a number of factors such as but not limited to how fast you are at typing or if you have all the required information on hand.
After applying, 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. We do not guarantee same-day outcomes for all customers.2
Once an applicant has been approved and they have signed a contract, we automatically attempt to release the money to the applicant's bank account. Most customers have a New Payments Platform (NPP) bank account and receive the money in their bank account within 60 seconds. For other customers, the money will be available overnight on weekdays and overnight the following business day if approved on a weekend or public holiday.3
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.

Repayments on your loan are automatically set up to be deducted via direct debit from your bank account in line with your pay cycle.
You can view your repayments from either the Better Credit app or online portal and contact our friendly customer service team to request any changes that you need.
