How we work
Tell us about you
Complete an online form so we can approve you and explain all lending conditions so you are well informed.
Apply for funding
Fill and submit our short application form that takes only a few minutes. We then get to work and do the rest.
Receive funding
If you apply early enough, receive funding in your account that same day, or on a date that you request.
Repayment
On the day of the next MOE bulk funding deposit we direct debit our loan plus costs from your account.
Simple, Reliable, Fast, and No Surprises!
When we receive your application we do our credit searches and standard loan approval things and we immediately advise you if the application is approved. We approve over 95% of applications.
Then, on the day you have requested, we transfer funds to your bank account and advise you once done.
On the day of the next MOE bulk funding deposit, we direct debit our loan plus costs from your account. This way you do not need to do anything.
Criteria and fees
We fund anytime within three months from the next bulk funding deposit.
We lend based on your last 3 bulk funding payments and your MOE centre funding summary RS7 form.
Loans are in multiples of $5,000.
Repayment is from your next bulk funding payment.
No property security.
We have made fees as simple as possible.
We have incorporated all establishment fees, bank fees, credit search fees, regulatory fees, disbursement costs and interest costs into one.
For loans made within 1 month of the next bulk funding deposit, we charge a flat $375 per $5,000 advanced. For loans made between 1 and 2 months of the next bulk funding deposit, we charge a flat $475 per $5,000 advanced and for loans made between 2 and 3 months we charge $575 per $5,000.
These are the only loan advance fees.
The following is a lending example.
- Amount requested and advanced on 2 October: $10,000.
- On 1 November bulk funding date we debit
your account the original loan principle of $10,000
plus fees of $750 (2 x $375): $10,750
