Loan Information
Types of loan you can choose from
When you use Friendly Finance, we deliver your loan request to our comprehensive network of reputable and trustworthy lenders in Australia. And the best part about our service is that you only need to fill-out one application form.
With Friendly Finance, we help you save the time and effort you usually need when you reach out to different lenders separately. After submitting your application, you’ll receive a loan match decision within a few minutes. The final loan decision will depend on the lender’s processes, but can often be approved the same day. And depending on your bank, you may even get the money in your account within the hour after it is approved.
One of the primary features of online loans in Australia is their accessibility. Through Friendly Finance, applicants can complete the entire loan process from the comfort of their home or on-the-go using a mobile device. This is particularly beneficial for those living in remote areas or for individuals with busy schedules who may find it challenging to visit a bank during regular business hours.
Here at Friendly Finance, we aim to provide online loans that have quick processing times. Most lenders in our panel offer decisions within the same day and if approved, funds can disbursed the same day in some instances. The time it takes to receive your funds will depend on your banking institution. This rapid turnaround is crucial for emergencies or when immediate cash is needed.
Our panel of lenders typically offer a range of loan amounts, from small micro-loans to larger sums, suitable for bigger financial needs. Repayment terms are also flexible, allowing borrowers to choose a schedule that best fits their financial situation, which can help in managing their budget more effectively.
The need for physical paperwork is significantly reduced with Friendly Finance online loans. Most of the time, all necessary documents can be submitted online. This streamlined process not only speeds up the application process but also simplifies it, making it less daunting for many borrowers.
Reading and understanding the fine print in your loan agreement is very important before agreeing to sign up for a loan. At Friendly Finance, you won’t need to worry about hidden fees and charges as our panel of lenders are known for their transparency. We make sure that you will be well aware of any other associated fees included in your loan before the agreement is signed.
Loans that are $2,000 or smaller should come with 0% interest but incur a 20% one-off establishment fee as well as a 4% monthly fee. These are the maximum allowable charges by law on loans up to $2,000 in Australia. Some lenders may reduce their establishment and monthly fees to make their packages more enticing.
If you apply for a personal loan amount to $2,001 and above, your fee structure is going to look a little different than that of small amount loans. You will most likely pay an establishment fee of $400 and then an APR (Annual Percentage Rate) interest of up to 48%.
Possible additional charges may include but are not limited to the following:
- Early settlement penalty
- Late payment penalty
- Collection fees if the lender has to hire a debt collector to recover funds
Important note: Make sure to always read your loan agreement thoroughly before signing the contract. It is crucial for you, as a borrower, to understand all the charges included in the loan you are applying for.
Here at Friendly Finance, we pride ourselves with the quality of lenders included in our network as they are known to have a good reputation both in the type of service they provide and how trustworthy they are as a lender.
Nonetheless, we still encourage our customers to do their due diligence before signing their loan agreement. In this way, disputes will be avoided and miscommunication will not be the cause of delay when trying to acquire for your loan.
Remember that a reputable and legitimate lender will always have a valid credit license in Australia; this is referred to as an Australian Credit Licence (or ACL) and it should always be displayed on their website. Aside from this, they make their contact details readily available on their website. Make sure that there is a way to call the lender and chat directly with them. Checking the online reviews can also be a great way to determine if the lender is reputable or not. Visit their social media pages and read feedback on review websites to know who you are getting into a financial agreement with before signing your contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I borrow money immediately?
If you have an unexpected expense that you need to pay off as soon as possible, you might want to consider taking a short-term loan. These loans allow you to borrow between $50 to $2,000 and can be repaid in as little as 16 days. Depending on the lender, you can get your money in 6 hours or even less.
What is the best way to get a loan?
The best way to get a loan is to apply for a loan online. Friendly Finance connects you with multiple lenders through one application form, saving you time.
There are many benefits of applying for a loan online. You can compare the different lenders and choose the best one for your needs. You can also do it in a few minutes instead of going from one place to another or filling out forms and waiting for days or weeks for an approval letter from each lender. This way, you save both time and money.
Will my credit score get affected when I apply for a loan through Friendly Finance?
No. Friendly Finance does not do any credit checks in the pre-approval process. This means that your credit score will not be affected in any way when you apply through our platform. However, the lender you will be matched with may do a credit check as part of their assessment.
Can I still get a loan if I have bad credit?
Yes, it’s possible to get a loan in Australia even if you have bad credit. Many online lenders focus less on traditional credit scores and more on your current ability to repay the loan. They consider factors such as your current income, expenses, and other financial commitments. This means that even if your credit history isn’t perfect, you might still qualify for certain types of loans, like bad credit personal loans or payday loans.
Are my details secure with Friendly Finance?
Here at Friendly Finance, we collect, hold, use, and disclose information that is reasonably required to offer and provide our financial services. We aim to collect information directly from you in the most practical way possible, to ensure that your details and accounts are secured, primarily through secure online forms. We also retrieve bank statements through a secure, read-only platform to keep your data safe and secure.
How quickly can my loan be approved?
The time it takes to process a loan application depends on the type of loan you’re applying for.
On average, unsecured personal loans, since no collateral is used as security for the loan, can be approved within the same day if all necessary requirements are met. However, lenders may need longer to do additional checks and ask additional questions. For secured personal loans, it may take longer as lenders need to appraise the personal asset being used as security. Applying for payday loans is faster, but the final approval will depend on the affordability assessment of the borrower. In most cases, the approval for payday loans can be done the same day.
