Common emergency loan questions

1. How quickly can I get an emergency loan?

Most people receive a personalised quote in about 7 minutes. If approved and you sign your loan contract during processing hours, we aim to pay funds the same day.

2. What counts as an emergency expense?

Car repairs, medical or dental bills, vet bills, essential home repairs, urgent travel, or catching up on essential bills.

3. What helps speed up approval?

Have your ID ready, enable internet banking verification, and provide complete and accurate income/expense details.

4. Do you offer small emergency loans?

Our current range is $2,000–$40,000 for terms of 6–60 months.

5. Will applying affect my credit score?

We may check your credit as part of responsible lending but this will not affect your credit score. Making on-time repayments can help build your credit over time.

6. Can I repay early?

Yes—there are no early repayment fees.
