As one of Australia’s largest non-bank personal loan providers, we’re a responsible lender. We want to help you get the cash you need to move forward, but we’re also looking out for your best interests. There’s no point taking out a loan you can’t afford today if it will cause you problems tomorrow.
That’s why we personalise our loans, with fixed rates and flexible terms of 3-36 months. No hidden fees. No nasty surprises down the track. And no early payout fees – if you can pay off your loan sooner rather than later, you can save yourself some money.
It’s all part of our commitment to minimise your borrowing costs and ensure you don’t put yourself under unnecessary financial stress.
How much you are eligible to apply for will depend on your current financial circumstances and requirements. As a Responsible Lender we want to make sure your loan is affordable for you, so we will always need to complete your assessment first before we can provide you with the loan amount you’re eligible for.
Our loans are based on your individual and current financial circumstances. Until we receive your application and your bank statement information, it is not possible for us to guarantee you will be approved. You may wish to read our blog which provides some helpful tips on improving your chance to get a loan.
Our loan repayments vary depending on the loan amount, the loan term and the interest rate. You can use our loan calculator as a guide, however because we tailor our rates to your unique credit profile, we will not be able to confirm any repayments until your assessment is complete.
The interest rates for our loans are calculated using risk-based pricing, which simply means the better your credit rating, the better the interest rate you can be eligible for. We won’t be able to confirm what interest rate you may be eligible for until your assessment is complete, however you can see the range of our interest rates for our personal loans here.
The usual waiting time to receive your loan application outcome is between 24-48 working hours.
Behind Australia’s students all the way.
As one of the largest non-bank personal loan lenders in Australia, we’re here to help you get on in life. And education is where it all starts. So, whatever you or your loved ones study, allow us to help you move forward.
