Did you know that nearly two-thirds of Australian households have a pet? With more than 5 million dogs, 4 million cats and over 11 million fish, we're one of the biggest pet-loving nations in the world!
But that also comes with a cost. In 2019 Aussies spent more than $2.5 billion at the vet, second only to food as our biggest pet expense. If your latest vet bill is a bit more expensive than you’d prefer, turn to Jacaranda Finance for a fast and flexible personal loan, so you can focus on what matters - getting your furry friend back to good health.
We Make Applying Easy
We know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. As a hard-working Australian, you don’t have time to waste on needless paperwork.
That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.
Vet costs can easily pile up, and you might find it preferable to spread your costs out into manageable instalments rather than a single lump sum.
Here are some of the more common reasons our customers take out vet loans:
Cats and dogs can both be very expensive patients at the vet. If you don't have pet insurance, these are the costs for kitten and puppy claims according to Pet Insurance Australia.
Our loans are designed to be fast, fair, and, above all, affordable, with no hidden fees. See the table below for a quick guide to our charges, or visit our fees page to learn more. For detailed information about who our products are designed for, please review our Target Market Determinations.

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
Once you submit your application, our loan processing engine will extract read-only copies of your bank statements. In addition, every application we receive goes through a thorough assessment of suitability to ensure that you can comfortably afford your Jacaranda loan if approved.
This is all done in a matter of minutes! In some cases, we may need to verify additional information with you or request supporting documents. If that is the case, we'll be in contact to let you know exactly what we need.
Visit our rates and fees page to get an idea of the costs associated with our loan products.
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, loan amount, and loan term for which you qualify.

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.

If you are unsure whether you're eligible, you can check if you qualify initially. This will not impact your credit score.
