You can receive a one-off emergency payment by taking out a small cash loan. These are popular among borrowers for those times when you need extra cash urgently, such as unexpected expenses or when you're waiting for your next paycheque. In terms of how they work, you borrow a small amount and pay it back in instalments over a specific period, which can be from 16 days to two years. You get to choose how often you make payments: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
The actual cost of the fees depends on how much you borrow and how long it takes you to pay it back. There are two main fees to consider: the monthly fee, which is capped at 48% of your loan amount per year, and the establishment fee, capped at $400. Knowing these fees helps you make informed decisions about your repayments.
To access emergency cash immediately with a loan through Savvy, you have the flexibility to borrow between $2,050 and $5,000, which is dependent on meeting the eligibility criteria set by your lender. This adaptable range allows you to choose an amount tailored to your specific requirements. However, it’s important to note that each applicant's borrowing capacity is shaped by factors like credit score (whether you have fair credit or have struggled in the past), income, existing liabilities, savings, and other pertinent financial considerations. Consequently, your borrowing power may differ from another applicant with different financial circumstances.
Ultimately, what you can be approved for is determined by what you can afford to repay. Your income will need to be sourced from stable employment with consistent pay and hours, whether that’s one or more positions, and/or eligible Centrelink payments. For instance, if you're seeking a loan with fortnightly repayments of $500 but only earn $400 per fortnight, approval may not be feasible.
When applying for a one-off emergency payment loan through Savvy, the process is straightforward and user-friendly. Our form allows you to provide necessary information about yourself, your income, employment, and more. After submitting your application in a matter of minutes, you'll receive an instant outcome within 60 seconds. If approved, the lender you’re matched with will conduct a formal assessment of the application, potentially requiring additional documentation.
Upon the completion of the necessary checks and after formal approval, your lender will send you loan documents outlining all terms and conditions, including the repayment schedule, term, fees, and more. After reviewing and signing the documents, return them to your lender, and the funds can be advanced to your nominated account. Subsequently, you'll begin repaying your loan in line with the schedule you’ve chosen on your 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.

Small loan applications are built with swift approval in mind. If your application for a one-off emergency payment aligns with the lender's criteria and you provide the necessary documentation promptly, formal approval and funding could occur as soon as the same day. Variables such as application complexity, the lender's processing speed, and the time of day you submit it may influence the overall speed of approval, however.
