You can apply for a cash loan online with Savvy’s straightforward application process. Fast-paced and efficient, applying for a loan with us is easy to save you time when you need money in a hurry.
Before completing your application for loan money, you should double-check you meet the eligibility criteria. These include:
To start the process, you’ll need to choose how much you want to borrow and why you need it. You can apply to borrow between $2,050 and $5,000 with a fast cash loan. Once you’ve chosen your desired amount, you’ll be required to provide some information about your employment, income and personal circumstances.
Lenders will ask you to provide some digital documentation to verify your identity, which can be uploaded to a secure portal. They will generally ask for copies of the following:
You’ll receive an instant outcome on your application once it’s submitted. If you’re approved, your lender will run a credit check as well as a check of your income and expenses as part of the formal approval stage. You’ll need to provide ‘read-only’ access to 90 days of bank statements so your lender can run a check on your finances.
If things run smoothly, you can be offered formal loan approval very soon after. Once you sign and return your digital loan contract, your funds can be released.
Cash loans in Australia come with several fees, but the amount you’ll pay will come down to how much you borrow. However, it’s easy to work out what they’ll cost and there are simple things you can do to reduce your outlay.
Cash payday loans come with two types of fees: an establishment fee and an ongoing monthly fee. These fees are capped so you know exactly how much you’re paying on top of your regular repayments. The establishment fee is a flat charge of $400, while monthly fees cannot exceed 48% of your loan amount over 12 months.
Choosing a shorter loan term is perhaps the most effective way you can reduce what you pay in fees. Loans come with repayment term options ranging from 16 days to two years, depending on how much you borrow. Taking out a $3,000 loan over 15 months instead of 18 will save you $360 in fees, for instance. If you choose to borrow a smaller amount, you may be charged a reduced establishment fee. Making extra repayments will have the same effect, as these will shorten your loan term.
Yes – bad credit doesn’t really matter on these types of small loans. While reputable lenders will always look at your borrowing history when considering you for a loan, they tend to focus on more than just your credit score.
When lenders run a credit check as part of your formal approval, they’re more concerned with what you’re able to afford and manage today. They look more at whether you have any outstanding loans or recent defaults which could impact your ability to repay your loan, with your score not really forming a major part of the assessment.
If your bad credit comes from active bankruptcy or defaults, most lenders will be reluctant to approve you for a loan. However, there may still be lenders on the market willing to consider you for a loan. If your score isn’t the best because of a few late payments a couple of years ago, though, lenders will be more likely to be able to approve your application (provided you can support the payments).
