What is a secured loan?

A secured loan is a personal loan that requires collateral. This means that you'll need an asset - usually a vehicle - 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 compensate for its loss.

By adding security to your loan you will generally be considered a less risky borrower, and could be considered for a larger loan amount and more competitive loan terms as a result.

Our secured loans

At Jacaranda Finance, we offer secured loans for amounts between $5,000 and $25,000. Our Express Personal Loans are a fast finance solution to help everyday working Australians with large-sized expenses. We also offer secured car loans up to $25,000.

Even though securing your loan will require slightly more information, we'll only ask for the necessities. With loan terms of up to 48 months and flexible repayment options, we make it easy to pay for life's big costs.

THE LOAN PROCESS

How does the application process work?

Decorative graphic of an ID Card

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.

Decorative graphic of a form on a clipboard

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 can I use a secured loan for?

Our secured loans are flexible and can be used for many things. Some of the most common reasons our customers take out a secured personal loan include:

  • Be employed on a permanent or casual basis.
  • Have a consistent income going into your own bank account for the last 90 days.
  • Be in control of your finances and be handling existing financial commitments comfortably.

At Jacaranda Finance, we offer secured and unsecured loan products tailored for various purposes.

It's important to note that unsecured loans may have lower borrowing limits since they do not require a secured asset. Typically, we do not offer unsecured loans exceeding $15,000.

Whether you should get a secured or unsecured loan will depend on your individual circumstances. Please contact our customer service team to discuss your options.

Repayments on your loan are automatically set up to be deducted via direct debit from your bank account in line with your pay cycle.

Provided you are meeting your minimum contractual repayments, you can change the date of your direct debit payments, make extra repayments, change your bank account details and more from either the FastMoney app or online portal.

The interest rate, fees and charges applied to your loan will depend on your individual circumstances and the information verified during the loan assessment. It will also depend on our assessment criteria and the loan product, loan amount and loan term you qualify for.

Use our loan repayment estimate calculator to get a guide on what your repayments could be. To get an idea of what rates, fees and charges are associated with our loan products, visit our rates and fees page.

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
