What is a secured loan?
A secured personal loan requires collateral. This means that you’ll need some kind of asset as security when borrowing money. If for some reason you’re unable to repay the loan, the lender can possess the asset and sell it to cover the money you owe. At Jacaranda Finance, we offer secured loans for amounts between $2,500 to $15,000. Even though securing your loan will require slightly more information, we’ll only ask for the necessities.
Secured vs. unsecured: what’s the difference?
At Jacaranda Finance, we offer both secured and unsecured loans. If it’s a small loan you’re after (between $2,500 – $5,000), we don’t need any form of collateral. Because these loans rely solely on your creditworthiness, they typically incur higher interest rates than secured loans.
If an applicant is wanting to borrow more than $2,500, we may require a form of security. This will depend on the desired amount they wish to borrow, as well as their individual financial situation. In some cases, we won’t require collateral for a medium to large-sized loan, but it’s always a good idea to understand how secured loans work in case you need to apply for one. Typically, people will apply for secured loans in order to borrow a larger amount than unsecured loans offer.
As secured loans have security, they typically incur more competitive interest rates than unsecured loans. In saying that, however, one is not necessarily better than the other. It all depends on the individual’s financial situation, so it’s a good idea to have a chat with our customer service team to discuss your options.

We’ve made our application process as simple as can be. Most customers complete their application within 5 minutes1, and receive an outcome as soon as they submit. Those who don’t receive an immediate outcome will typically only wait 60-minutes2 during normal business hours to hear back from our team.

Here at Jacaranda, we’re Aussie-owned and operated. We’re also a family-owned business, and understand what it takes to keep the values of community and respect alive. That’s why we pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service, and finding customers the best possible deal on their loan.
60-second payouts
Approved applicants who have an NPP-enabled bank account will typically see their cash within just 60-seconds3 of approval. Thankfully, most online banking accounts are NPP-enabled automatically.
