Wondering what to do in Melbourne?
Whether you're a local or spending your weekend in the city, you'll be glad to know that there's no shortage of activities to keep you busy.
Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens
Melbourne is home to an incredible array of public gardens – the most impressive of which is the Royal Botanic Gardens, right in the heart of the city. Whether you're planning a picnic or want to stroll through the beautiful gardens at your leisure, the Botanic Gardens are a great way to get some fresh air while still being in the city centre.
Queen Victoria Market
Who doesn't love an open-air market? Queen Victoria Market is located right in the city centre and is open weekly from Thursday to Sunday, and Tuesdays. It has a lively culture and is a gem for foodies and shoppers alike.
Visit the National Gallery of Victoria
The National Gallery of Victoria is the country's oldest (and most popular) art museum. It's home to regular art exhibitions from major international names, like Van Gogh and Warhol, and will always have something showing for everyone’s fancy.
Degraves Street
Degraves Street is one of the most iconic laneways in Melbourne. It's found between Flinders Lane and Flinders Street and offers a wide variety of eateries, quaint stores, and everything in between. If you’re a lover of shopping, architecture, or admiring a beautiful street view, you'll enjoy spending time on Degraves Street.
The Docklands
A vibrant host of many activities and restaurants, The Docklands is a must-do when visiting Melbourne. Whether you are out for a good buy, visiting the interactive 3D art gallery, or searching for a dining experience among the smorgasbord of options, The Docklands has something for everyone.
Melbourne Zoo
Visiting the zoo is a favourite pastime for families, and Melbourne Zoo will be no exception. With a butterfly room, elephant trail, and pride of lions, there’s something for all ages. The Zoo even hosts high teas and a ‘Roar ‘n’ Snore’ – which offers visitors the chance to camp overnight in the Zoo itself.

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.

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.
