Short-Term Loans vs payday loans: What's the difference?
Don't get our short loans confused with payday loans. The two are very different products! A payday loan typically offers loan amounts up to $2,000, with loan terms starting from 16 days to one year.
They tend to be much more expensive than personal loans or medium-amount loans. According to ASIC's MoneySmart, payday loans commonly charge the following fees:
- Establishment fee: Maximum 20% of the amount borrowed
- Monthly fee: Maximum 4% per month of the amount borrowed
- Default fee: Charged for missed payments and varies between lenders, fees cap out at double the original amount borrowed.
Jacaranda's Short Loans, on the other hand, offer loan amounts up to $25,000, and our loan terms start from 24 months. Unlike payday loans, which are often used for day-to-day expenses, our Short Loans are commonly used to pay for life's large and mid-sized expenses.
At Jacaranda, our quick personal loans can offer speed as well as affordability and thorough loan assessments. And with maximum loan terms of 48 months (48 months for our car loans), you can repay what you owe in a short space of time without stretching your repayments too much.

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:

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.
