Boost Your Credit Score With Jacaranda Finance

Is there such a thing as a no-credit-check loan?

An instant loan with no credit check is a loan where a credit check is not required, and the loan approval is instant. Jacaranda Finance cannot provide instant loans without performing a credit check. As a responsible lender, we do not offer "no credit check loans", as we conduct a credit check as a part of our assessment process.

Though Jacaranda Finance cannot offer instant loans without a credit check, we do approve applicants across a broad range of credit scores and have fast outcomes and fund transfers.

What is a ‘bad’ or ‘good’ credit score?

Australia has two main credit rating agencies that calculate your credit score:

  • Equifax
  • Experian

Each credit agency uses different ranges for their credit scores. Here’s what these currently look like:

Equifax Experian
Below Average 0 - 459 0 - 549
Average 460 - 660 550 - 624
Good 661 - 734 625 - 699
Very good 735 - 852 700 - 799
Excellent 853 - 1,200 800 - 1,000

  • Experian

    550 - 624
    625 - 699
    700 - 799
    800 - 1,000

Generally speaking, your credit score will be calculated based on the following factors:

  • Your repayment history: According to Experian, as much as 35% of your credit score is comprised of your repayment history, both good and bad
  • The type of lender you've applied with: some types of lenders - like payday lenders or wage advances - can be deemed riskier than traditional banks, so this can impact your score as well
  • Your number of recent credit applications: Applying for multiple credit and loan products in a short space of time can impact your credit rating
  • The amount of money you've borrowed
  • Any defaults, bankruptcies and court judgements
  • Regularly applying for balance transfers

And more.

Frequently Asked Questions About

Jacaranda Finance Cash Loans

Yes, as a responsible lender we do carry out credit checks on eligible applications. Don’t worry though, we don’t let this number define you. We look at a number of factors to best determine if a loan is both affordable and suitable for you.

When you hear “cash loan” you might think of short terms, low amounts and high fees. But at Jacaranda Finance, we do things differently. Our personal loans allow you to borrow $3,000-$25,000 and our fast assessments mean you could get a same day outcome2, with funds in your account in just 60 secs if approved3.

Applying is Quick & Easy

  • Apply in 5-12 minutes1
  • Submit your application by 3:00pm and get a same day outcome2.
  • If approved, funds get delivered in just 60 seconds3.

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.
