Why get a Cash Loan in Canberra?

Inner-city living is fast-paced and exciting, but it also can get expensive. Canberra is already one of Australia's most expensive cities in terms of rent and mortgage costs, and the cost of living is up there too.

If a major expense pops up - planned or otherwise - and you don't want to dip into your hard-earned savings, don't let it stress you out. From car and home repairs to holidays and home improvements, our express Cash Loans can help you manage these costs.

Thanks to our state-of-the-art online technology, you can:

  • Complete your application in just 5-12 minutes1 depending on your circumstances;
  • Receive a same-day outcome on your application2 if you apply during normal business hours; and
  • Have the funds transferred to your account in under 60-seconds3 if approved (if you have an NPP-enabled bank account).

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 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.

To be assessed for a loan from Jacaranda Finance, you must meet the following basic eligibility criteria:

  • Be at least 19 years of age
  • Be employed on a permanent or casual basis, with consistent income for 90 days
  • Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or hold a temporary visa in one of our eligible visa subclasses with a fixed address.
  • Have an active email address, phone number, & online banking details in your name.
  • Be in control of your current finances and handling existing financial commitments comfortably.

If you are unsure whether you’re eligible, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*.

We offer two main products at Jacaranda Finance:

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.

We understand that life moves fast. That’s why we do too. Apply before 3:00pm from Monday to Friday and Jacaranda Finance will give you a same day outcome2 on your loan application. If approved, your funds will be transferred in 60 seconds3. This means you could apply, have your application assessed and receive your funds all within the same day.

Applying over the weekend? If you submit your application on Saturday morning, you may receive a same-day outcome. Applications received later in the weekend are typically assessed first thing on Monday morning.

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.
