How much does it cost to borrow a loan?
With Jacaranda Finance, borrowing costs are a combination of an establishment fee plus monthly fees. There are also penalty fees if you miss making any of your direct debit repayments on time. However, if you donât have any direct debit dishonours you wonât have to worry about this problem happening.
Jacaranda Finance offers three different types of finance, the cost structure varies slightly. We do small unsecured loans from $300 to $2,000, medium secured loans between $2,100 to $4,600 or large secured loans from $5,000 to $10,000.
Loan Type | Secured Options | Loan amount | Loan term |
---|
Small Loan | Unsecured | $300 to $2,000 | 12 months |
Medium Loan | Secured | $2,001 to $4,600 | 13 to 24 months |
Large Loan | Secured | $5,000 to $10,000 | 13 to 24 months |
To give you a better idea of the interest rates and fees, head to our costs page. The repayments factor in everything including the establishment fee, monthly fees as well as the principal amount. Therefore, the fees and the principal amount make up each of your equal repayment amounts.
In addition, itâs also worth checking out the Moneysmart website, which explains in more detail the permissible fees and charges for these types of loans.
How do you use a loan calculator?
A loan calculator is a useful tool to help you to determine what your repayment amounts will be. The way it works is you choose the amount you want to borrow and select the length of the repayment period that you would like. As a result, our calculator automatically includes our interest rates and fees.
What are the lengths of your terms?
Our terms also vary slightly between the different types of loans we offer. Firstly, you can borrow our small finance over a period of 12 months/
You can borrow our medium secured finance over a period of 13 to 24 months. Nevertheless, if you want to pay your loan off early you can! Especially because we wonât charge you any early exit fees.
How do repayments work?
The way repayment works is we set up a direct debit so that your repayments come out of your account automatically. The intervals that your repayments are deducted from your account can happen on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, itâs completely up to you. However, we do suggest that you set up your payments to match your pay cycle so you know youâll always have enough money in your account. Therefore, we can offer repayments with ease.
Do you need to have good credit to apply?
You donât necessarily need to have a good credit rating to get a loan because we donât always do credit checks . Thatâs because we know that there are other, more important, things to look at that will give us a more accurate representation of your relationship with your finances.
For instance, we prefer to look at the last 90 days of your financial transactions to see how well you can manage your repayments. If we can see you have been making regular repayments on time, we are much more likely to extend you an offer for a loan.
What are some reasons to borrow?
The sky’s the limit for when it comes to using personal finance. You can use personal loans for any purpose you like. Though, here is a list to give you some ideas about what our personal loans can be used for:
car rego is something that, if you have a car, you canât avoid. Itâs a big sum of money thatâs always due all at once. Small personal loans are perfect in this situation, especially if youâre not prepared for it.
When your car gets damaged itâs always completely unexpected and youâre stuck having to pay for car repairs you werenât prepared for and canât afford a loan will give you the quick cash you need to get back on the road as quickly as possible.
If youâve met the right person for you and you are ready to tie the know, personal loans can help you make your special day a reality without that added stress.
Replace your white goods
These are those household items that are completely necessary but also quite expensive. Apply for a loan and have your washing machine back in action in no time.
When you move into a new rental property youâll need to pay a bond upfront before you move in. This can be between a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the size of the property you are moving into. Not everyone has that kind of cash just lying around, especially if youâre moving in a rush. A loan will have it covered, no stress at all.
These are only some examples of what the personal loan can be used for. Itâll really up to you to decide what the purpose of your loan is. You can even borrow one of our medium secured personal loans to consolidate multiple debts.
However, the only thing you cannot use one of our small personal loans for is to pay off another small loan.

What should I do before I decide to borrow a loan?
Deciding to borrow can be a big decision to make since you are entering into a financial commitment. Whether you are getting a bank loan or a loan from an alternative lender, itâs always important to ask yourself some important questions to ensure that you are fully prepared before you decide to borrow.
Can you afford the repayments? â We will never lend you more than you can afford to repay. Though itâs still a good idea to look at your budget and work out what you can comfortably afford. That way you wonât have to worry about being unable to afford the repayments. The last thing we would want is for you to get yourself into a difficult situation where you are struggling to make payments.
What is the purpose of the loan? â is the reason you need to borrow a loan incredibly urgent? If your reason for borrowing money canât wait any longer, then getting a loan is probably the right decision. Though if itâs not urgent, and you donât have a particular purpose for the loan in mind, borrowing might not be the right decision.
Have I met the eligibility requirements â check that you have met the eligibility requirements before you apply. If you havenât your application will not be accepted.
What if your application was rejected?
Therefore, if you apply for a loan and your application is not accepted, donât be disheartened. There may be several reasons for why this may have happened. Below is a list of some of the reasons your loan may have been rejected:
- You are unemployed â if you donât have a regular source of income from employment, lenders will wonder how you will be able to make the repayments for the loan. Though we do accept some Centrelink income recipients, we often require that they have a supplementary income too.
- Direct debit dishonours on your account â when we do a check of your recent financial history we can see if you have been making your payments on time. If we can see multiple direct debit dishonours we will worry that you will make direct debit dishonours when you are repaying your loan with us.
- Youâve made payments to gambling sites â if we see a lot of this kind of activity in your financial history, we will consider it to be risky behaviour and we may reject your application based on this information.
- Cash is your form of payment â if cash is your only form of payment it can be difficult to verify your income. Unless you always deposit this money into your account, we wonât be able to see your income which means it will be hard to verify whether youâll be able to repay your loan or not.

How to improve your chances of approval
If youâve had your loan application rejected before, thatâs okay, there are a few methods you can take to improve your chances of approval next time. By taking some of these steps, you will help improve your credit score and increase your chances of getting approved for your next loan application. Here are some strategies you can start implementing:
- Improve your credit score: Itâs not rare for errors to occur on your credit report. Those errors can include false defaults, old credit cards you havenât closed, or simply wrong details such as a wrong address. Itâs recommended you check your credit history at least once every year to ensure no errors have been listed. The quicker you can point an error out, the quicker you can get it resolved.Â
- Minimising career changes: Although itâs not mandatory, itâs preferred that you can provide proof of income from the past 3 months. It might be best to save any career changes until after youâve been approved for a loan.Â
- Reduce your debts: Reducing your debts by paying down any existing loans and other finances can help you improve your chances of approval on your next loan. Reducing your debts can help you manage all your existing payments more sufficiently and can help you avoid adding on more debt.
- Stay on top of your bills: Forgetting to pay your bills on time will not only contribute to your debt, but will also get listed on your credit report and negatively affect your credit score. One of the best ways to improve your chances of approval is by simply improving your credit score. Making all of your repayments on time is a great way to start. If you canât afford to pay your bills in full, you can contact your service provider and ask for âbill smoothing.â This refers to paying your bills in smaller, more manageable instalments.
