What is an instant cash loan with no credit check?
An instant loan with no credit check is a loan where a credit check is not required and the loan approval is instant. Though Jacaranda cannot offer instant loans without a credit check, we do approve applicants across a broad range of credit scores and have fast outcomes and fund transfers.
Is there such a thing as a no credit check loan?
We cannot provide instant loans without performing a credit check. As a responsible lender, we do not offer "no credit check loans", as we conduct a credit check as a part of our assessment process.
Jacaranda offers an alternative to no credit check loans if you're worried that your credit score isn't perfect. We help customers across a wider range of credit scores than a typical bank or "prime" lender, and we consider a range of factors when assessing your application for credit. We don't only look at your credit score.
We do not recommend you apply 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
Jacaranda 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.
As a rule of thumb, there are four reporting bodies that we may use to conduct a credit search:
-
Fast response and quick service. Life savers

How fast can we approve your loan application?
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 our award-winning, 100% online personal and car loans are as close to instant as you can get while still maintaining a thorough and responsible loan assessment process.
Getting started with an application and be done in as little as 5-12 minutes1: alternatively, once you've started an application you can come back and pick up where you left off in your own time.
Thanks to our smart technology, most applicants get a same-day outcome once the application is completed2. If you qualify for finance and pass our assessment, we will send you a loan offer to consider.
If you accept our loan offer by signing your digital contract the funds are usually in your bank account and ready to use within 60-seconds3.
Is there such a thing as an instant loan?
We do not offer instant loans, but we do offer a very fast turnaround once you've completed an application. Make sure you qualify before applying.
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.
How to apply for a Jacaranda Loan
Applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance is both simple and fast thanks to our 100% online technology. See below for how our application process works, or click here to get started, it's easy.
You can also download our FastMoney app to apply for and manage your loans with ease.

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.

What is a 'good' credit score?
There are several main credit reporting agencies in Australia, primarily Equifax, Experian, and illion. Your credit score may vary between each of these bureaus as they have different credit rating scales. Below, we've provided a breakdown of what your credit score means for both Equifax and Experian.
Credit Band |
Experian |
Equifax |
---|---|---|
Excellent |
800-1,000 |
833-1,200 |
Very Good |
700-799 |
726-832 |
Good |
625-699 |
622-725 |
Average |
550-624 |
510-621 |
Below Average |
0-549 |
0-509 |
Generally speaking, your credit score will be calculated based on the following factors:
- Your repayment history: According to Experian, as much as 35% of your credit score is comprised of your repayment history, both good and bad
- The type of lender you've applied with: some types of lenders - like payday lenders or wage advances - can be deemed riskier than traditional banks, so this can impact your score as well
- Your number of recent credit applications: Applying for multiple credit and loan products in a short space of time can impact your credit rating
- The amount of money you've borrowed
- Any defaults, bankruptcies and court judgements
- Regularly applying for balance transfers
And more.
