THE APPLICATION PROCESS

We Make Applying Easy

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.

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 loans, 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

Review our Privacy Policy for more information.

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.

Download the app on the Google or Apple store today.

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.

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.

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.

A loan with Jacaranda Finance is a flexible option you can use to pay for some of life's biggest expenses: planned or unexpected.
