This is not an offer for credit. The amount you can borrow as well as the offer you receive may vary once you complete an application and all relevant details are captured and verified. Fees, credit criteria and terms and conditions apply. Example tables and calculators are illustrative only and are not intended to be your sole source of information when making a financial decision. Consider whether to get advice from a licensed financial adviser.
THE LOAN PROCESS
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.

Money in your bank account and ready to use in 60-seconds3 once approved.
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.

What can I use a Jacaranda weekend loan for?
With fixed repayments and both secured and unsecured loan options, our loan options could be a great choice for you based on your needs. Depending on whether you apply for our Cash Boost loan or our larger Express Personal Loan, you could use one for any of the following common loan purposes:
Car repairs
When your car breaks down or is damaged in an accident, getting it fixed can be very expensive. Our car repair loans can help you get back on the road in no time.
Vet bills
Whether you need money to pay for an emergency vet bill or to buy a new pet, Jacaranda Finance could have a vet bills loan to suit you.
Medical bills
Some medical procedures can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars! You can turn to Jacaranda for a personal loan to help pay for any large medical bills.
White goods & furniture
Applying for a white goods loan with us can take the stress of a key appliance breaking down: you could receive your money on the same day and hop online to shop for a new one.
Rental bonds & moving costs
A Jacaranda rental bond loan can help you manage medium expenses such as bonds and with removalists and lets you take some of the stress out of moving.
Holidays
Personal loans can also be used for flights, accommodation, and other costs that come with booking a holiday. Check out our holiday loans today!
Home repairs
Whether it's cracked tiles or a leaky roof, a home improvement loan can help you sort out those much-needed repairs you’ve been putting off.
Home renovations & installations
You can use our home renovation loans to improve your home via renovations, remodelling, installing tech like solar panels, landscaping, and much more!
Debt consolidation
If you’re juggling multiple loan & credit card repayments, you can consolidate them into one easier-to-manage debt consolidation loan with Jacaranda, provided all other repayments are up to date and on time.

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

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
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.

Anyone unsatisfied with their loan for any reason can return the principal funds, including any payments made to third parties on your behalf, within a 48-hour cooling-off period and cancel their loan4.
If you purchased a vehicle or other item with your loan, Jacaranda does not require the seller to cancel the sale or release the funds back to you. Returning your purchase to the dealer, to the seller or to Jacaranda Finance doesn't qualify as a loan cancellation. The loan is only cancelled once the funds have been received and have cleared within the Jacaranda Finance bank account.
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.
