When you apply for a cash loan through Savvy, you can have your application approved and funded as soon as the same day through our marketplace of lenders. These loans are designed to be fast, providing the financial relief you need to cover a wide range of potential expenses.

Whether your rent is overdue, bills are adding up or you just need some extra funds for your household budget, a cash loan through Savvy can help you pay them off immediately and repay your loan at your own speed.

How long can I take to repay my same-day loan?

The time you can take to repay your loan will depend on the amount you borrow. For loans of $2,000 or less, you can take between 16 days and one year to repay them. However, for loans of $2,001 to $5,000, the maximum term is extended to two years.

Lenders will also base the approved loan term on what you can comfortably manage. For example, if you applied for a $1,000 loan and wanted to repay it over one month but only had around $100 to spare each week, your lender would be unlikely to approve you on those terms.

In this situation, they may come back to you to offer alternative terms, such as six months, that they’re more confident won’t put you under financial stress.

How much will my loan cost?

The cost of your cash loan will depend on the amount you borrow, as different fees apply to different amounts. The fees you'll have to pay are:

  • Loans up to $2,000: up to 20% establishment fee and 4% monthly fee (percentages of your loan amount)
  • Loans from $2,001 to $5,000: up to $400 establishment fee and 48.00% p.a. interest

Other factors determine how much your loan will cost overall, though. These include:

  • The loan term you choose (longer terms mean more fees or interest)
  • Whether you make additional repayments above the minimum
  • Whether your lender charges the maximum fees or interest

It’s important to see how much different loans might cost before you apply. This table demonstrates how the loan amount changes the overall cost of your loan:


Loan amount Loan term Establishment fee Interest rate Fortnightly repayment Total cost
$2,050 12 months $400 48.00% p.a. $120 $3,107
$3,000 12 months $400 48.00% p.a. $166 $4,312
$4,000 12 months $400 48.00% p.a. $215 $5,580
$5,000 12 months $400 48.00% p.a. $264 $6,849

Tips for boosting your chances of same day loan approval

  • Apply early in the day and week

    Give your lender as much time as possible during business hours to assess your application to avoid it dragging out overnight or into the weekend.

  • Have all your information handy

    Getting your documents ready before you apply, especially your ID and bank statements, means you won’t have to waste any time sourcing them during the process.

  • Respond to your lender quickly

    If your lender gets in touch with you to ask for more information or to send through the final contract, get back to them as soon as you can to avoid delays.

Frequently asked cash loan questions

Can I receive my loan on the same day if I’m already repaying a similar loan?

Some lenders may approve your application if you’re in a position to comfortably repay both your new loan and your existing one. However, if they decide you can’t comfortably manage both based on your income and expenses, your second application is likely to be declined.

Can I get a cash loan if I’m unemployed?

Yes – provided you can comfortably support the repayments of your loan. Our lenders can work with borrowers with 50% or more of their income coming from Centrelink. Because your chances of success are based on your ability to repay your loan, you can still receive same-day approval even if you’re unemployed.

It’s important to note that if you’re in this position, your loan repayments can’t exceed 20% of your income. As such, if your monthly income is $1,500 with more than 50% coming from Centrelink, the most your repayments could be is $300.

Are there any fees associated with paying off a loan early?

No – lenders don’t charge early termination fees on cash loans, so you can pay off your loan well ahead of schedule if you’re able to and not incur any additional charges.

This will help save you on monthly fees or interest. All of this means that you can receive fast funding and, if you’re in a position to do so, repay your loan in full in a matter of weeks.

Can I still get a same-day loan if I have bad credit?

Yes – small loans are available to borrowers who’ve struggled with their credit in the past. Lenders offering small cash loans are more flexible when it comes to their eligibility criteria than the big banks. They’re more focused on your ability to repay your loan in the here and now than your credit score. If you have bad credit and need cash today, apply for a quick loan through us now!

How much can I borrow?

With a cash loan, you can borrow as much as $5,000 through one of our trusted lending partners. However, everyone’s situation is different, so some of the factors your lender will consider when assessing your application are:

  • Your income and expenses: the more disposable income you have available, the more you’ll likely be able to borrow
  • Your income sources: lenders will always prefer applicants with stable employment or income
  • Your other loans: if you have other loans you’re paying off, this will impact the amount you’re eligible to borrow
  • Your history repaying similar loans: if you’ve had recent defaults on similar loans, for instance, you may not be approved at all in some cases
Can I count all Centrelink payments towards my income on my application?

No – not all Centrelink payments will be accepted as income by your lender. Stable, unconditional benefits, such as a disability pension or single parent payments, can be included in your application. However, payments that are subject to your age or employment status, such as JobSeeker or Youth Allowance, may not be.

Will my lender conduct a credit check during my application?

Some lenders will conduct a credit check during the application process. However, this won’t be the case for all lenders, as some will base their decision on your bank statements and financial situation instead. Some of our lending partners don’t conduct credit checks.

Do I need to submit any physical paperwork for my same-day loan application?

No – cash loan applications are 100% online from start to finish, meaning there’s no physical paperwork to deal with. You’ll be able to provide access to your bank statements through your lender’s secure online processes and sign your contract electronically.
