Frequently Asked Questions

A personal loan allows you to borrow money to pay for personal expenses (like a holiday, a wedding, car repairs, or travel) and then repay that money over time.

The first step is to apply online. Our digital platform will then assess the information provided and approve, decline, or refer your application to one of our advisers in under 60 seconds.

If you are approved, a loan contract is generated and emailed to you. Once the loan contract is signed electronically, funds are paid directly into your nominated bank account.

You will then repay those funds (plus interest and fees) over the agreed loan term, usually between 1 and 7 years.

Yes, you can pay off your loan in full at any time. An early repayment fee may apply and varies between lenders; details of these fees (if any) will always be on the loan contract you sign.

The short answer is yes. A range of lenders will be willing to look beyond your credit history (within reason) and focus on your strengths, like employment and income. Our platform can help match you with one of these lenders. You can learn more about what information is on your credit report, how we might use that information, and what it means for you by reading our insights.

How many loans you can have will depend primarily on your income. Someone may have five loans, as long as they earn enough to afford the repayments comfortably.

We can offer consolidation if you have multiple loans and want to simplify your finances. With consolidation, you will have just one regular repayment to maintain and a fixed end date. So, you can count down the days until you are debt-free.

Yes, if you are married, de facto or in a civil union, you can choose to apply yourself or with your partner.

Our platform assesses lots of data about you and your circumstances to maximise your chance of approval. This data includes (but is not limited to) your credit profile, employment stability, income, repayment history, and how you manage your money.
