Ready to get started? Apply now.

By submitting a full application for a personal loan, you are authorising a hard credit check. This means that other lenders will be able to see that you applied for a loan and could impact your credit score. Before you submit a full application with Jacaranda Finance, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*. This is called a soft credit check, and is only visible on your credit report to you.

How to check if you qualify for a secured personal loan?

If you’re considering applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*.

No, checking if you qualify uses a “soft” credit check meaning it does not impact your credit score or appear on your credit file to anyone but you. We recommend checking your eligibility before applying for a loan where possible to reduce the number of applications on your credit report.

For detailed information about who our products are designed for, please review our Target Market Determinations. Our Loan Repayment Calculator and our guide to Jacaranda Finance’s interest rates & fees could help you to predict your repayments before applying.

Before you apply for a loan with Jacaranda Finance, it’s important to consider that additional fees could apply. This includes set fees such as our establishment and monthly fees and possible one-off fees such as a risk fee (if applicable this fee will be applied to your balance at the start of your loan) or missed payment fee. If you have any questions about our fees please contact us at i******@j****** or give us a call at 1300 189 823.

Using our loan repayment calculator you can estimate your repayments before applying.

Missed Payment Fees

For every missed payment, a fee will be applied. This cost is added to the account balance and can be paid with the next repayment cycle. If you’re concerned you’ll miss a repayment before the next due date, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible.

You can pay your loan back at any time at no extra cost. That means no early exit or payout fees.

Once you’ve been approved and have accepted your loan contract, we’ll automatically attempt to release the money to your account. Most customers get paid in 60 seconds3.
