How to apply

As we’ve mentioned, applying for engagement ring financing couldn’t be easier. With our online application, we have made borrowing accessible for all Australians. All you need is an internet-capable device and a few spare minutes of your time! To complete your application, follow these steps:

Step one: Apply online

Once you are happy with your loan terms, click the Apply button and you’re on your way to engagement ring finance!

With Nifty Loans, there’s no waiting around. Once we receive your application, we will let you know in minutes whether you qualify for our loan service. So, whilst your crushing those candies, keep an eye on your notifications for any important info.

After you receive conditional approval, we will begin to assess your application. Our loan specialists aim for a 60-minute turnaround (during business hours). To achieve maximum speed, make sure to provide all the relevant documentation in your initial application.

Whilst we assess your application, we adhere to responsible lending practices. We don’t want our clients to be worse-off after taking out a loan with Nifty Loans. That’s why we only approve clients who can afford their repayments.

Step four: Collect your moolah!

If you’re approved (congrats!), you will receive an electronic contract to review. As long as your happy with the offer, simply sign where applicable and your engagement ring finance will be scheduled for transfer.  Deposit times depend on inter-bank transfer times, but you can expect your funds to be in your account overnight at the latest.

Application info explained

If the online landscape has taught us anything, it’s to be wary of giving online entities our private info. However, don’t fear, you can trust us! We simply ask for your MyGov and internet bank login details to save you drowning in fruitless paperwork. We ask for this info to access a read-only copy of your bank statements and expenses using the latest in safe banking technology, at no point does staff have access to this information. And that’s it. Nothing scary! We are 100% committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and your info. To learn more, have a read of our privacy policy.

What are the possible costs?

The last thing you want when you’re planning to start a life with your partner is unmanageable debt. That’s why we are 100% upfront about all costs. Our costs will always be in your contract. At Nifty Loans, we want our finance to build a bridge, not destroy one. You’ll find our costs all over our website, but you can find them again at the bottom of this page and our costs page for the following loan types.

• For small loans: starting from $300 to $2,000

Other fees and charges may be payable. Unfortunately, if you fail to make a repayment without notifying us of any changes in your situation, additional fees may be added to the balance of the loan. Please feel free to contact our team if you have any questions about fees and charges.

How do our repayments work?

Now you know everything there is to know about our application process, you may be wondering about after you receive your cash. Just like our application, our repayments are super easy. Using the latest in safe banking technology we set up direct debits in a nominated account for your repayments, meaning they will be taken automatically in line with an agreed upon schedule. So, you just need to ensure enough funds are left in the account when the payments are due. All that’s left to do is sip your celebratory champers and not fret about your wedding ring loan repayments.

So, say goodbye to setting hundreds of alerts to remind you when your repayments are due, only to forget to transfer the money! With Nifty Loans, your repayments will be seamless, so enjoy your engagement without the fuss of pesky loan payments.

Have bad credit and need engagement ring financing?

We know that life sometimes isn’t picture perfect and that mistakes happen. Especially when it comes to your finances. We understand that you may not know you’ve made a mistake until you have. Well, don’t worry. Nifty Loans is here to help. We look at more than just your credit score, our team takes into account your current relationship with money, this is why we ask for your bank statements!

We offer bad credit loans for those who have bad credit and need a wedding ring loan. Our team understands that credit checks are not the be-all and end-all. This is why the assessing process looks deeper than just your credit score, giving every client a fair go.

Are you receiving Centrelink payments and want to pop the big question?

You’ve come to the right place. We offer engagement ring financing to those who are receiving Centrelink payments. At Nifty Loans, we see most Centrelink payments as regular income as long as you’ve been receiving the payments for at least 3 months. So, if you’re thinking of popping the question and starting your new life with your partner, consider financing to make your day that extra bit special.

What if you need another loan?

Well, firstly, we are glad you paid off your last one (congrats!), and we’d love to have you back! Once you’ve repaid your balance on your previous cash loan, you can apply for more finance.

Please note that all applications are subject to assessment and we cannot guarantee an approval.

Do you charge early exit fees?

No! In fact, we encourage our clients to repay their wedding ring loan off quickly to save on fees (we know you have a wedding to pay for!). At Nifty Loans, we do finance that works for the client, so whatever helps you, we are happy with.

We may be 100% online, however, our loan specialists are not too far away – in fact, they’re right behind your screen. If you ever have any questions about our loan process or your account, don’t hesitate to contact them.
