Qualifying for a $5,000 loan online is now faster, easier and quicker than it ever was. Apply via Savvy and target only the lenders with requirements and terms that match your own specific goals and finances.
Cash loans are built for speed. Lenders are almost exclusively based online, so they offer streamlined digital applications and fast approvals. Borrowers can do everything they need using any device like a smartphone, from filling out forms to uploading supporting documents and signing contracts.
It takes seconds to fill out our quick form, and it’s just as quick to connect with finance providers that suit your profile. Sign agreements and upload documents on the web – get approved in just sixty seconds, then get funds transferred straight to your bank account as quickly as the same day!
Cash loans don’t come with any extra fees for early repayment. That means if you decide for any reason to pay the loan off early, you’ll only owe the remaining balance of what you borrowed plus the remainder of the setup fee. You’ll save on any potential repayment fees for the rest of the term.
You don’t have to borrow $5,000 with a small loan. You can get a loan for anything from $2,050 and repay over 16 days to two years. You can choose to pay using direct debits weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to match how you get paid.
Fees for small loans are straightforward and get based on what you borrow. You pay a $400 establishment fee and monthly fees each time you make a repayment, which are capped at 48% of your loan amount over the span of a year. With a $5,000 loan, you’ll pay $200 in ongoing fees each month.
If you need money now in Australia, there are no upfront costs to worry about with a cash loan. The setup fee gets spread across your repayments during the term, so you don’t need to pay anything the day you apply. Your first small personal loan repayment is due a month, week, or fortnight after approval – depending on your repayment schedule.
The main difference between small loans and other forms of finance lies in the qualification requirements. That’s how lenders assess your application. Where other forms of lending rely a lot on your credit rating, loans for up to $5,000 are different. Your credit score isn’t a major factor, so you can qualify for this type of loan with a bad credit rating, when you’re unemployed, and you can even apply for a small loan on Centrelink. Many borrowers find that applying for a $5,000 loan when self-employed is also a lot easier than trying to get one from a bank, for instance.
No matter the time of day or week, you can complete your small loan application with us online.
You can receive an outcome in 60 seconds and, if successful, have your money sent in just one hour.
We're partnered with reputable Australian lenders to bring you greater peace of mind when applying for your small loan.
We just need a few basic details to match you with appropriate lenders and products. We’ll ask what you do, earn, and how much you need to borrow, then we’ll instantly select the ideal option from dozens of lender partners digitally. It’s quick, simple, and maximises your chances of a fast, trouble-free application.
Many small personal loans get approved and funded the same day.
Next up is documents. Lenders need ID (driving licence or passport, or a similar government-issued document). You can upload a recent utility or phone bill as proof of address. To verify your income, you’ll need your last three months’ worth of payslips – and Centrelink Income statements if you get any income from benefits. Lenders also cross-check your income by looking at your bank statements from the same period.
They use them to confirm your existing borrowing, too, in conjunction with your credit report.
Don’t rush through the process. The lender’s application form is pretty simple, and you can complete and submit that online too. Remember to read through each question carefully and supply all the information the lender needs to make a fast decision about your case.
It’s a good idea to offer further information about anything on your bank statements that might be unclear to the lender.
Once you’ve submitted your payday loan application, the lender may need to contact you to confirm inconclusive details or request additional information or documentation.
That doesn’t happen in most cases but remember to keep your phone handy and an eye on your email for a few hours.
Small loan applications are 24/7, meaning you can visit Savvy, connect with a lender online, and then apply for a small loan from anywhere at any time. Don’t forget, though, that lenders only approve loans and send funds during business hours.
If you’re in a hurry, it’s a great idea to apply early in the day to give the lender plenty of time to assess, approve, and send funds.
