If you need an emergency loan but you’re concerned your credit rating will be a problem, read our blog about how to find out your credit score. Alternatively, contact our friendly team on 1300 324 746 or via live chat and find out more about our quick and easy bad credit loans.
We can’t promise to provide a loan if you have a bad credit rating, but if we can find a way to provide the loan you need and help you repair your credit history in the process, we will.
While a bad credit rating can prevent you from taking out an emergency loan, or limit the amount you can borrow, we’re here to help you in any way that we can. We believe everyone deserves a fair go and assess every application on its merits.
If you think your credit score may be a problem, or you’re not sure if you have a bad credit rating, watch our video about how to find out your credit score. You can request a free copy of your credit report from Equifax to find out if – and why – you have a bad credit history.
Once we understand your situation, we’ll be able to advise you on the best way forward. Our friendly team is here to try to help you get the cash you need and turn your bad credit history around.

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.
Time is of the essence in an emergency.
You can apply for an emergency loan in minutes and our smart system will give you a provisional decision almost immediately. Assuming you’re formally approved, you could have your emergency loan in your account tomorrow.
