How do I apply for quick finance?

Follow these steps for a seamless application process:

Step 1: Apply online 

Use the loan calculator at the top of the page to select how much you want to borrow and see if the repayments fit your budget.

Step 2: We’ll assess you

Once you’ve completed your application, we’ll get busy assessing it. This won’t take long, sometimes it’s as quick as 60-minutes*. We’ll let you know as soon as we’re done!

Behind the scenes, we’ll be checking that the finance you want will suit your needs and that you’ll be able to make the loan repayments without taking on any unnecessary financial pressures. If we need to, we’ll get in touch with you to confirm or ask for any information that will give us a better understanding of whether a fast loan is the right solution for you.

Step 3: Sign your contract

If you’ve been approved for a loan, we’ll send over a loan contract for you to review and sign. We recommend thoroughly reading the terms and conditions to make yourself aware of any fees or charges for late or missed payments. When you’re happy, simply just e-sign it.

A few personal loan questions

There is no such thing as a stupid question, but, we want to save you time. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions about personal loans.

Can I still apply if I receive Centrelink?

The short answer is, yes! We assess our loans on affordability and suitability. So, we don’t automatically discount you because you are receiving Centrelink benefits. We know it can be hard to find lenders that offer a personal loan when you’re receiving Centrelink benefits. Luckily, Jacaranda Finance is the lender with a difference. 

We believe receiving government benefits shouldn’t necessarily prevent you from accessing personal finance. As a result, we could treat your Centrelink payments as an alternative form of income. You’ll have to receive your Centrelink benefits into a personal bank account, regularly for the past 90 days. So, if you fulfil our other requirements, we highly encourage you to apply for a loan with Jacaranda.

Do you require documents when applying with Jacaranda Finance?

Most of the time, no! At Jacaranda, we utilise the latest and safest banking and identification technology that can obtain a read-only copy of your bank statements online. So, while we do require you to provide us with certain credentials and information, you will not need to submit any physical documentation. Our application is super fast and easy, but if you are missing any documentation we will reach out to you immediately. So, keep an eye on your phone or email after you’ve applied.

What happens when I apply outside of business hours?

Lucky for you, our business is 100% online so you can conveniently apply for a personal loan at any time. If you apply during our business hours, you could get an outcome in just 60-minutes. If your application is submitted outside of business hours, we’ll get to assessing your application the next business day.

Our business hours are: 

• Monday to Thursday – 8 am to 5 pm
• Friday – 8 am to 4 pm
• Saturday – 8 am-12 pm

Some parts of our assessing process are automated so make sure you keep an eye on your phone and email to see if we’ve made contact.

How quickly will I receive my funds after I’ve been approved?

Once we receive your signed contract, we can transfer the funds to you in as little as 60-seconds**!. The amount of time it takes for the funds to reflect in your personal bank account will depend on the policies of the bank you are with. If you have an NPP-enabled bank account, you’ll receive your money in just 60 seconds after you’ve signed your contract. Most banks are NPP-enabled, however, if your bank doesn’t support this platform, you’ll receive your money the next banking day. 

Do we charge interest, fees or charges?

In the world of financial management, there is a common misconception that small lenders charge eye-watering interest, fees and charges. We don’t! Our costs are simple and transparent with no nasty surprises. Moreover, our loan products are affordable. However, the interest rates and charges are subject to that type of loan you have, the loan amount and the loan duration.Try out our personal loan calculator to get an idea of your loan repayments. Just simply choose the amount you want to borrow, the loan duration (how long you want to repay the loan) and if you want to make your repayments, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. 

For more info on our interest rates and charges, head over to our costs page. Alternatively you can use the loan calculator on the Moneysmart website.
