Need a tide over loan? We can help
When you fall short and a big purchase is urgent and important, Savvy is here to the rescue with online cash loans.

Your guide to online cash loans
How to get out of debt by sorting out your finances?
Despite our best intentions, life gets in the way of having our finances in the black. However you can sort out your debt by sorting out and reorganising your finances. First off, you need a snapshot of your finances. Money coming in, money going out, and how much debt you have. Work out what kind of spending can be redirected into paying off debts. Cutting off a streaming service you don’t need could save $180 a year. You should begin prioritising your most expensive debt (in terms of interest and balance) – or consider taking out a debt consolidation loan to help reduce interest altogether. You may want to work out a plan with creditors if you are in deep debt.
What is the best way to manage your personal loan?
Personal loans and online cash loans are a great way to help tide you over when times get tough. However, if you don’t manage your personal loans they can sometimes get out of hand. Managing a personal loan should be easy – you can make scheduled repayments using direct debit. You need to make sure your account has enough funds each week/fortnight/month to cover the repayment. If you are having trouble paying a loan back, honesty is your best policy. You should contact your lender or broker well in advance of your repayment date to report any difficulties. This will help you avoid fees and charges as well as defaults.
Is putting it on the credit card better than an online cash loan?
If you already have a credit card with a high enough credit limit and an unexpected bill comes through, is that the best way forward? Though it may be more convenient, credit card interest rates on major purchases (above $100) may end up costing you more. Credit cards are easy forms of credit. You don’t have to pay a set amount each month, just the minimum. The minimum might incur massive interest over time – a balance of $1,000 at 20%p.a. means you’d pay $1,164 just in interest over nine years with a minimum repayment of 2%. An online cash loan has a fixed interest period along with the loan term. That means interest won’t accumulate over time, and you’ll more than likely be better off.
What you need to consider before applying for an online cash loan?
Online cash loans are convenient and fast ways of getting cash when you need it the most. However, there are some points you must consider before making an application. You should figure out what your online cash loan is for. It should cover unexpected expenses that require urgent payment or weekend emergencies; payment you could not come up with any other way. You should also refrain from making multiple applications. Online cash loans are stopgap measures and should be treated as such. Consider taking out shorter terms if you can, as longer terms accumulate more interest. You should also read all terms and conditions before applying, to avoid surprises.
