The benefits of $5,000 loans
-
Flexibility
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.
-
Get what you need
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 2 years. You can choose to pay using direct debits weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to match how you get paid.
-
Pay fixed fees
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.
-
Zero up front
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.
-
Qualify easily
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 loan when self-employed is also a lot easier than trying to get one from a bank, for instance.

Explained: Savvy’s guide to a fast $5,000 loan application
-
Find the best $5,000 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. Many small personal loans are approved and funded on the same day.
-
Have your documents ready
Next up is documents. Lenders need ID (driver's licence or passport, or a similar government-issued document). To verify your income, you’ll need your last three months’ worth of payslips – and Centrelink income statements if you receive any benefits. Lenders also cross-check your income by looking at your bank statements from the same period.
-
Fill out the form carefully
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.
-
Stay contactable
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. Remember to keep your phone handy and an eye on your email for a few hours.

Apply for a cash loan early
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. Applying early in the day gives your lender more time to assess and approve your application.
