Top 6 Things To Do In Sydney

Sydney Opera House

Holding the title for Australia's most iconic building, the Sydney Opera House has a lot to offer. Not only is it a great photo opportunity from the outside, but exploring the inside is like nothing else. Inside you'll find the Concert Hall, Opera and Drama Theatres, Playhouse and the Studio which host a variety of shows and events.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Neighbouring the Opera House is the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. If you're one for heights, the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb could be your calling. You'll experience a view of Sydney like no other while scaling the world-famous ‘Coat hanger’.

Bondi Beach

Take in all Australian beaches have to offer by visiting Sydney’s most popular beach, Bondi Beach. If you're after an Instagram-worthy snap, the Bondi Icebergs Pool offers a chance to take the perfect pic. They're considered Australia’s most photographed ocean pool so you know they're a stunning sight.

Bronte Beach

Visiting Bronte Beach is another great spot to soak in the sun while at one of Australia's most well-known beaches. If you're a less experienced swimmer and aren't confident the waves at Bronte will be your cup of tea, the Bronte Baths offer a protected saltwater pool. This way, you can take in the ocean while the waves are crashing at the walls beside you.

Darling Harbour

The Darling Harbour is a sight that simply cannot be missed. Hosting a range of events from doggy days out to classical ballet, the Darling Harbour is a beautiful and vibrant part of the city.

Taronga Zoo

Sydney's Taronga Zoo is a not-for-profit zoo that is home to 4,000 animals from koalas to elephants. What's more, Taronga Zoo hosts some of the most breathtaking views of the Sydney Harbour. So not only will you see amazing wildlife, you can also spot the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

  • Have a consistent income going into your own bank account for the last 90 days.
  • Be in control of your finances and be handling existing financial commitments comfortably.

Jacaranda Finance is a 100% online lender, meaning we offer loans Australia-wide. Whether you're searching for personal loans in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, or anywhere in between, you can apply for a fast online loan with us today.

Jacaranda offers three loan products with varying loan amounts that you could borrow:

For detailed information about who our products are designed for, please review our Target Market Determinations.

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.

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

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.

We are dedicated to providing you with finance when you need it, which is why we're open on Saturdays! We could provide you with a loan if you apply during our business hours on the weekend:

  • Monday - Thursday: 8.00 am - 5.00 pm
  • Friday: 8.00 am - 4.00 pm
  • Saturday: 8.00 am - 12.00 pm
  • Sunday: Office Closed

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.

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.
