After submitting the required information and documents, you’ll typically receive a pre-approval decision for your loan within 60 minutes from the time of application (which may vary depending on the current volume of applications).

As part of the responsible lender regulations, Nifty Loans checks your credit score. Credit history checks are required to ensure that you are a reliable borrower and that you are in a financial situation where you can repay the loan.

After receiving approval, you will be required to sign an electronic copy of the contract. Once signed, you will receive the loan proceeds to your nominated bank account within 60 seconds, even after business hours or on a weekend (if your banking account is NPP enabled). This means you could fill out your publication at lunchtime, in some cases have your money by the end of the day.

Payments are automatically taken from your account through a direct debit arrangement in line with your pay cycle. There are no fees imposed on early repayments. Finally, the company also extends financial hardship assistance to borrowers who are experiencing difficulties in paying off loans.
