Yes – you can get an instant outcome on your loan application even if you have a bad credit history. A poor credit history isn’t really an issue when you take out a payday loan in Australia, so, there's no need to fret about it impacting your chances of approval.
While bad credit doesn’t really matter, lenders will still run a credit check as part of your application, meaning there’s no such thing as guaranteed approval or loans with no credit check with reputable lenders. However, they prefer to look at your wider history rather than your score. Some factors lenders consider include whether you have any active loans and your payment record on similar short-term loans. This will paint them a complete picture of your borrowing history.
You’ll receive an instant decision once you’ve submitted your initial application through Savvy. This includes choosing a loan amount, why you need it and some personal information such as your contact details, income and employment status. If you receive instant approval, your lender will run a few checks to confirm the information you’ve provided is correct. In most cases, you can be offered formal loan approval soon after.
Credible same-day lenders won’t give you instant approval straight off the bat because they want to ensure the loan you want won’t cause you significant financial stress. Lenders are obliged under Australia’s strict responsible lending laws to run checks to ensure you can afford the loan you want. As such, guaranteed approval on a bad credit loan in Australia isn’t possible, but you can be formally approved and funded on the same day you apply in most cases.
You can apply 24/7 to borrow between $2,050 and $5,000 with a payday loan, even if you have bad credit, if you need cash today. How much you can borrow will come down to your income, expenses and credit history. It’s good to have a rough idea of how much you can afford to repay, as you’re more likely to be approved for a loan if you can show a lender you can comfortably manage the repayments.
Lenders will look at several factors when assessing how much you can afford to borrow. This includes your income, expenses, spending and borrowing history. The higher your income and the fewer expenses you have, the more you may be able to borrow.
Lenders will allow you to factor in a variety of income streams when you’re applying for a loan. Wages, investment income, superannuation payments and fixed Centrelink benefits can all be factored as income towards your loan.
These loans come with repayment options from 16 days up to two years, but the best term for your needs will ultimately depend on your situation and how much money you borrow.
Cash loans come with a range of eligibility criteria all applicants must check they meet before applying. These generally include:
Payday loans are assessed differently from other, more traditional types of finance. Instead of making you complete a mountain of paperwork, payday lenders let you provide your personal details (name, date of birth, income) through an easy-to-use and fuss-free online portal.
On top of these details, you’ll be required to provide some documents to verify your identity. Most direct lenders require you to submit a driver’s licence (or passport) and Medicare card, which can all be uploaded to a secure online portal.
Your bank statements are also assessed to verify your income, spending and whether you have other loan commitments on the go. If you’re formally approved, you’ll also need to provide your bank details so your lender can deposit your loan funds in your account.
No matter the time of day or week, you can complete your small loan application with us online.
You can receive an outcome in 60 seconds and, if successful, have your money sent in just one hour.
We're partnered with reputable Australian lenders to bring you greater peace of mind when applying for your small loan.
