It’s easy to apply for a personal loan on the spot with Savvy. The entire process from application to approval is 100% online, allowing you to apply 24/7 from either your computer or smartphone. Any personal documents can be uploaded electronically to our secure portal. Familiarise yourself with our step-by-step process below:
Submit your initial application
Select how much you want to borrow and what you want to spend it on. You can apply to borrow between $2,050 and $5,000, with available repayment terms ranging from 16 days to two years.
Provide your details including your full name, date of birth, email and phone number. Tell us a bit more about your living arrangements, and estimate how much you pay each month in rent, board or towards your mortgage.
You’ll need to be earning a steady income to apply. If you’re working, you can provide:
You can also declare your after-tax income and how often you get paid, including if you’re a Centrelink customer whose benefits make up more than half of your income.
Verify your details
Online money lenders will need to verify a few details before giving you an instant outcome. Firstly, you’ll have to provide 100 points of identification, which can include any of the following:
You’ll need to provide access to a read-only copy of your bank statements over the last 90 days so your lender can double-check your income and expenditure. Once you’ve submitted all of these, you’ll receive an instant outcome on your application. From there, your lender will formally assess your application and details. They’ll run a credit check to determine whether you have any similar active loans or defaults.
If you’re formally approved, you’ll receive a digital copy of your loan contract which you’ll need to sign electronically and return to your lender. They can then transfer your loan funds into a nominated bank account. You’ll receive your loan funds on the same day in most cases, but this can depend on your bank’s transfer times. In some situations, you may receive your loan overnight or the next day. Lenders may also ask you for additional documents or further clarification before they grant formal approval.
You’ll be charged an establishment fee for taking out a cash loan and monthly ongoing fees while you’re repaying it. The establishment fee on a small loan is $400, while monthly fees are capped at 48% of your loan amount over the span of a year. For example, if you took out a $2,000 loan, you'd be charged no more than $80 per month in ongoing fees.
When choosing how long you pay off your loan, keep in mind you can save on fees if you choose to repay over a short term. For instance, if you borrowed $3,000 over six months instead of nine months, you’d save $360 on monthly costs. Making extra repayments can also save you money on fees, as you’ll be paying down your loan sooner and shortening your term.
Small loans can be helpful when you need some emergency cash to pay for a wide range of expenses. Some of the ways you can use your money include:
However, there are some minor restrictions on how you spend your money. For example, you won’t be able to use it for gambling or to pay off another small loan.
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.
To apply for a cash loan online in Australia, you must:
Yes – if you’re a Centrelink customer who collects a fixed and ongoing government pension, you can be approved for a quick loan. These payments can make up a portion, or all, of your assessable income. Eligible payments include aged, veterans’ or disability pensions.
Yes – past borrowing isn’t a necessity when applying for a small loan. After all, everyone’s credit journey has to start somewhere. Lenders will assess your financial situation as it stands now when determining whether to approve your application. This may impact your borrowing power, but you can still be approved.
Yes – a poor credit rating isn’t a barrier to approval when you apply with Savvy. Our partnered lenders won’t rely on your credit score when weighing up your approval. They’ll consider your current earnings, payment history and other financial information when assessing your application.
Yes – you can get a loan if you’re self-employed. Lenders want to see you’re earning a steady and stable income, so this will serve as part of the key eligibility criteria if you’re self-employed. If you’re a freelancer or a sole trader who needs a small payday loan to tide you over, you can apply with Savvy. However, a lender may ask for more documents to verify your income in some cases.
Yes – any payday loans you take out are listed on your credit file. Your credit report provides lenders with a complete picture of your borrowing history. As such, every time you apply for new credit it will be listed on your report.
