When funds are typically available and what can delay it
After approval and e signing, we trigger the transfer. Funds are typically available within 1 business day. Timing can vary with your bank, public holidays, and first time payee checks.
Cut off times, first time payee holds, and bank processing
Transfers accepted late afternoon may settle the next business day. Some banks apply a first time payee hold for security. Ask your bank about NPP or Osko support for near real time payments.
What To Do First When A Bill Lands
Utilities and rent have a higher priority
Upload your bill or notice. Tell us the due date. Keeping power and housing secure usually comes first.
Car repairs and proof helps
A mechanic quote or invoice helps us size the amount and plan timing with you.
Medical or dental invoices and gap payments
Upload the invoice or estimate. If Medicare or private health covers part of it, send both documents so we can see the gap clearly.

Costs, Timing, And Early Payout
You see costs before you accept, including any establishment or service fees, the repayment schedule, and the total payable. Choose weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments to match your pay cycle. There is no fee for early payout. Where interest applies, it is recalculated to your payout date. A credit enquiry may be recorded as part of responsible lending checks.

Emergency Loan FAQs
Can you pay my biller or landlord directly if I upload the invoice?
Funds are paid to your bank account in your name. You then pay the biller or landlord. This gives you control and a clear record.
What is the cut off time for same day assessment and next day funds?
Apply and accept during business hours. Early afternoon is best for faster settlement. Bank cut off times and public holidays can shift timing.
If my bank places a first time payee hold, how long can that delay the money?
It can add up to 1 business day. Ask your bank if they support NPP or Osko for faster crediting.
Do you accept mechanic quotes or medical invoices to size the loan?
Yes. Quotes and invoices help confirm the amount and timing so we can tailor the schedule.
Do you assess Centrelink income and what extra proof helps?
Yes. Provide recent benefit statements and bank statements showing consistent deposits.
I just started a new job. Will a first payslip be enough?
Often, yes. An employment letter helps. We review income patterns to confirm a manageable plan.
Can I use fast transfers like NPP or Osko and does my bank support it?
We send funds promptly after signing. Availability of near real time crediting depends on your bank.
Can I reduce the amount after approval if the final bill is lower?
If you have not accepted yet, ask for a revised amount. After funding, you can make an early payment to reduce the balance with no fee.
Can I apply if I am on a temporary visa?
Case by case. You need valid ID, regular income, and an Australian address. We may align the term with visa dates.
How do I change my repayment date to match my pay cycle?
Contact us before your next debit. We can move the date to line up with your pay to keep things on track.
