Express personal loans in Brisbane
From the sunny lifestyle to its thriving dining scene and abundant parklands (featuring the iconic Jacaranda blooms), Brisbane is a beautiful place to live. Add in the Olympics in 2032, it's no wonder that Brisbane is becoming one of Australia's fastest-growing cities!
With that growth comes expenses. If you're after express personal finance in Brisbane, look no further than Jacaranda Finance. With personal loans ranging from $3,000 to $25,000, and car loans up to $25,000, Jacaranda Finance could have a loan to suit your needs.

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.
Wondering what to get up to in Brisbane?
Whether you're passing through the city or call Brisbane your home, there's always plenty to do in the Queensland capital. Here's a rundown of some of our favourite places to visit.
Howard Smith Wharves
If it’s been a few years since your last trip to Brisbane, Howard Smith Wharves likely won’t be on your radar. The multi-million dollar renovations underneath Brisbane’s iconic Story Bridge only took place in 2018, but it has already transformed the space into the city’s go-to dining and entertainment precinct.
With a handful of fine-dining options, riverside bars and the city’s first CBD craft brewery, Howard Smith Wharves is the place to be in Brisbane.
James Street
If you’re looking for fashionable stores and exclusive eateries, James Street in Fortitude Valley is the perfect place for you. The high-end shopping hub offers hours’ worth of dining and retail entertainment, and exciting nightlife for lovers of unique cocktails and fine dining.
Eat Street Northshore
If you’re a lover of delicious street food, you definitely won’t be disappointed with Eat Street’s offerings. The open-air market precinct is made out of old shipping containers and offers a variety of cuisines from across the world with over 180 permanent stalls operating each Friday to Sunday.
Along with awesome food options, the market itself provides great entertainment with live music. It’s a must-visit for any foodies visiting Brisbane or locals who love an exciting night of food and drink.
Farmers' Markets
Brisbane has no shortage of farmers' markets to spend your weekends strolling through. Whether you love grabbing some fresh produce or delight in one of the many sweet-tooth treats on offer, you can’t pass up on visiting the Jan Power Farmers Markets in New Farm, or the Milton Markets in the city’s north side.
Not only is it a great way to be environmentally conscious and save on plastic packaging, but you’ll also be sure to get a great deal from local farmers and feel good to be supporting local businesses.
New Farm Park
If picnics are up your alley, you need to head to New Farm Park in Brisbane’s northside. The riverfront park offers wide-open spaces, plenty of wildlife and beautiful flower gardens to lounge around in. What’s even better is that it’s right next door to the Jan Power Farmers Markets – so you can grab some snacks and set up for the day under one of the many fig trees lining the park.
Mount Coot-tha
Mount Coot-tha is undeniably the city’s best lookout spot. It’s a favourite for locals who love watching the sunset, picnicking on the grass, or spending an evening star gazing. The lookout offers incredible views of the city and, for those who enjoy working up a sweat, a great hiking route up the mountainside.

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.
