You can pay quite a lot of things with a $5,000 loan. At Jacaranda Finance, our Personal Loans are designed to be used for life’s key expenses - planned or otherwise. You can borrow as little as $3,000 all the way up to $25,000 for the following common loan purposes:
We offer two different loan types at Jacaranda: Secured Loans and Unsecured Loans. Our secured loans involve attaching something of value to your loan as security, often a car or vehicle. Unsecured loans, on the other hand, don't require any kind of security in the loan contract.
If you’re borrowing $5k, you can use both a Secured or Unsecured Loan. The choice is yours!
However, the maximum loan limit on our Unsecured Loans is $10,000. As Unsecured Loans tend to carry a higher level of risk, you must attach security to your loan if you want to access up to $25,000.
When borrowing larger sums like $5,000 or more, you can use a number of different products, such as a credit card.
Whether or not a credit card or personal loan is the right option for you depends on a few factors.
We’ve compared the pros and cons of both in our guide below.
