What is a dental loan?

A dental loan is a form of personal loan designed to pay for dental work. A dental loan lets you borrow a lump sum of money to be repaid in regular instalments over a set period of time (with interest and fees accrued over the period).

Though it's recommended we go to the dentist every six months or so, 68% of Australian adults admit they have not been in 2 years, with the most common barrier being expenses.

If this sounds like you, consider applying for a Jacaranda Finance dental loan - you could receive up to $25,000 for your next trip to the dentist chair.

Why get a dental loan with Jacaranda Finance

With Jacaranda, you'll fill out a loan application and, if you qualify, we will quickly transfer you the funds you've been approved for. You can then use this money to pay for your dental bills in manageable instalments if you're caught short or instead of dipping into your hard-earned savings.

See our dental loan details on the right for more information on how they work.

Does Medicare cover dental work?

Does Medicare cover dental work?

Medicare, the Australian healthcare system, covers or subsides a range of medical services. Unfortunately, dental treatment is typically not one of these services. However, the Australian Government pays for some dental services through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule and public dental services.

For most adults, however, dental care is covered under private health insurance.

The basic eligibility criteria you must meet before submitting an application:
  • Be at least 19 years of age.
  • Be employed on a permanent or casual basis.
  • 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.
  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident with a fixed address.
  • Have an active email address, phone number, and online banking account in your name that belongs to you.

We accept a wider range of credit history than a bank or a prime lender, but we do not recommend submitting an application if:

  • You are currently or recently bankrupt (you must be three years discharged and in control of your finances)
  • You are not comfortably repaying your existing financial obligations

You can apply for varying loan amounts with Jacaranda, depending on your needs. With our Express Personal Loan, you can borrow between $5,000 and $25,000.

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.
