We tell you everything you need to know about personal loans, income requirements, and repayments.

Am I eligible for a loan?
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
Information you will need to provide:
- Basic personal information (i.e. full name, address, D.O.B, employer, dependant number)
- Online banking details
There are instances where our team may need to request further information or supporting documents from you. Don't worry, we will let you know exactly what we need and why we need that information from you.
What is the difference between gross and net income?
What is the difference between gross and net income?
When thinking about your income, two figures are important: your gross income and your net income. What's that you ask?
Your gross income is the money you earn before any additional expenses have been taken from your account. It equals your salary before tax.
Your net income is your take-home pay, the money you actually keep in your bank after subtracting tax, your health insurance, and contributions to a retirement fund.
Why is that important? If you want to make informed financial decisions, you should know how much money you have left over to spend each month. And it's not only important for you, but it is to us too! When you apply for a personal loan, among other things, we look at your net income to decide whether the loan is right for you or not. If you don't want to do the maths yourself, we recommend using a pay calculator to work out your loan repayments.
How do you calculate your take-home income with a pay calculator?
How do you calculate your take-home income with a pay calculator?
You will find many options if you simply type "Pay Calculator" into Google. Most pay calculators are free online tools to help you figure out how much money will end up on your account after taking out the additional expenses. Which additional expenses are we talking about?
- Tax
- Medicare and other additional health insurance
- Retirement savings (superannuation)
Those calculations can be quite tricky but a pay calculator does all the hard work for you. You can find different ones online.
We've included a few links in case you are curious:
Do personal loans require proof of income?
Do personal loans require proof of income?
Yes, they do. We need to know that you will be able to repay your loan before we lend you money. Jacaranda Finance, however, is different from other traditional lenders. While we want to know your income, we won't make you fill out tons of paperwork. Instead, an online banking account with at least 90 days (3 months) of income history is enough. We are 100% online, therefore, you won't have to copy or fax bank statements and, in fact, we don't even accept them through email. Our security banking service will ensure that your data is safe. We connect to your account with a read-only-access for maximum safety.
What is needed to qualify for a personal loan?
What is needed to qualify for a personal loan?
We at Jacaranda believe that everyone should have access to personal finance. Therefore, we give everyone a fair go and encourage anyone to apply for a personal loan. We know every financial situation is different and sometimes, a bank statement just doesn't reflect your current situation right. We take that into consideration and assess carefully if our product suits your needs. Additionally, as responsible lenders, we are not going to approve of a loan if we don't think you can comfortably afford the repayments. If we can't offer a loan, we might recommend a different lender that would be a better match.
If you want to find out if you qualify for a personal loan, we just some basic information about you. This includes:
- Your personal details (including your name, date of birth and address);
- The login details for your online banking account;
- Your reason for applying;
- Otherwise, we need details about your current workplace and relevant employment info.
