Frequently asked questions
What can I use a personal loan for?

A personal loan can be used for a variety of purposes, such as consolidating debt, covering emergency expenses, funding home improvements, paying for medical or dental bills, or even planning a holiday. Whatever your needs, our personal loans are designed to be flexible and tailored to your unique situation.
Do I need to provide security for my loan?

Many of our personal loans are unsecured, meaning you don’t need to provide security or collateral. However, for larger loan amounts or if your credit history requires it, we may discuss secured loan options with you. Our team will always explain what’s needed and help you choose the best loan type for your situation.
What if I have a low credit score?

We understand that life happens. While your credit score is part of our review, we look at your full financial situation to assess affordability and ensure responsible lending. Even if your credit score isn’t perfect, we work hard to find a solution. We offer flexible personal loans and may still be able to help. Talk to us about your options—we’re here to help you find a loan that works for you.
What are loan repayments like?

Our flexible terms let you choose loan repayments starting from just $20 per week, with options up to 60 months. Use our loan calculator to explore your options.
