How much can I borrow with a cash payday loan?

Depending on what you can comfortably afford, you can be instantly approved to borrow between $2,050 and $5,000 with a quick cash loan. Lenders will take into account several factors when considering you for approval, including what you earn and spend. This is known as your borrowing power and allows lenders to assess your current situation when considering you for loan approval. Some of the variables which impact your borrowing capacity include:

  • Regular income and living expenses
  • Any savings you have in the bank
  • Your wider credit history
  • Whether you have any defaults or past/current payday loans

Lenders will enable you to factor in a range of income streams, such as investment income, superannuation withdrawals or fixed and ongoing Centrelink payments. These can be declared when you submit your initial application and the only requirement is that they must be consistent, stable and unconditional forms of income.

How fast will I receive my payday loan funds?

You should receive your loan funds on the same day you apply in most cases, which is handy if you need cash today. Once you’re offered formal approval and sign and return your loan contract, your lender can release your funds to your nominated bank account. Several factors will determine whether your cash hits your account on the same day, though, including how fast your bank processes payments and the timing of your application.

Transfer and cut-off times vary from bank to bank, but typically payments are quicker during business hours and slower overnight and over the weekend. In some cases, it can take up to three days to receive a payment which is sent from another financial institution.

If you're chasing a very quick cash loan, applying earlier in the day or week will reduce the chance of payment being held up overnight or over a Saturday or Sunday. Because payday lenders aren’t open 24/7 to process applications, starting your application early means there is less risk of approval being delayed.

How much will my cash payday loan cost?

The cost of your cash advance or loan will come down to how much money you borrow and how long you choose to take to repay it, as it comes with a few fixed fees which are determined by your loan’s size and term.

An establishment fee is charged as a flat fee of $400, which is rolled into your loan repayments. Lenders will take into account these fees when they’re considering you for approval on a loan amount. In terms of monthly fees, they’re capped at 48% of your loan amount over 12 months.

You can take between 16 days and two years to repay your payday loan. Your loan term will impact the value of your repayments and how much you pay in fees. For example, while taking out a $2,500 loan over 12 months instead of 15 would increase your repayments by $41 each month, you’d save $300 overall on monthly fees.

Why apply for a small loan with Savvy?

Frequently asked cash payday loan questions

How do I qualify for a cash payday loan?

All lenders have a set of eligibility criteria which you’ll need to satisfy before you apply and receive an instant outcome. These include:

  • Over 18 years old
  • Earning a regular income for at least three months
  • Australian permanent resident or citizen
  • No existing payday loans
  • Working mobile number and email address
  • Easy access to 90 days’ worth of bank statements online

 

You will also need to provide several documents to verify your identity. Lenders will usually request a driver’s licence or passport and a Medicare card.

Can I apply for a cash loan if I have bad credit?

Yes – bad credit doesn’t tend to matter with short-term cash loans. Lenders prefer to take a complete look at your borrowing history (such as credit card limits, defaults and repayment history) rather than just focus on your bad credit score.

How often can I repay my cash payday loan?

You’ll get the option of weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayment options on your cash loan. This allows you to schedule your repayments around when you’re paid, making it more manageable for you overall.

Can I use a cash payday loan to consolidate debt?

Yes – you can borrow money to consolidate debt such as overdue bills or other outstanding expenses. Bundling these expenses together can make them easier to manage and repay. However, you can’t use your payday loan funds to repay existing short-term finance directly.

Can I get a cash payday loan if 100% of my income comes from Centrelink benefits?

Yes – you can still apply for a payday loan if fixed government benefits make up all of your income. If you want a loan and you’re unemployed, temporary measures such as JobSeeker or Youth Allowance can’t be factored in on their own. However, eligible benefits include:

  • Aged, disability or veterans’ pensions
  • Carer and single parent payments
  • Child care subsidies
  • Family Tax Benefit Part A or B
Can I get a cash payday loan if I’m on a student visa?

Lenders generally require loan applicants to be permanent Australian residents, so it’s unlikely you’ll get approved for finance if you’re a student in the country on a temporary visa.
