What are Micro loans?

Micro loans are small loans usually offered to businesses to help them get started. The microloans that we offer are small, hassle-free loans, processed online in quick-smart time. They are also small personal loans and cannot be used as micro business loans for enterprise purposes.

We know how time can easily slip away, that’s why we’ve made the process as quick and painless as possible. Once we receive an application, our loan specialists will conduct a quick assessment and have an outcome for you as soon as possible.

If your microloan is approved, we’ll try to transfer your funds to your bank account on the same day Deposit times may vary depending on the speed of your bank, but if you have an NPP enabled bank account, you can have your funds within 60 seconds of approval! At the very latest, overnight! It’s pretty Nifty.

What could you use a Micro Loan for?

Micro loans provide a hassle-free loan experience for customers and are typically faster than applying through a traditional lender. These are smaller loans from between $300 – $5,000 and can be used for a range of things. Personal loans are frequently used for:

• White goods such as fridges, freezers, washing machines or dryers
• Household furniture such as sofas, beds or dining tables 
• Some medical services such as dental work or some surgeries 
• Educational essentials such as books, laptops or uniforms
• Moving expenses such as upfront bond or removalists

Although Nifty does not currently offer business loans, micro loans can also be used to support people starting small businesses and helps with expenses such as:

• Buying or servicing machines 
• Buying office supplies and equipment 
• Covering working capital (start-up costs until the company is earning enough to cover themselves)

So if you find your washing machine has decided to give up on you or you need to get your painful tooth fixed, why not apply for a micro loan with Nifty and see if we can help! 

Can I still apply for a microloan if I am receiving Centrelink?

Yes! We consider Centrelink payments as a source of income. When you apply for a loan with us you’ll need to have proof of having a regular source of income, which includes Centrelink payments.

Do you do credit checks?

As responsible lenders we conduct credit checks on all loans. However, we don’t just focus on your credit score. When you apply for a loan, we ask for at least 90 days worth of bank statements to see what your current relationship with money is like.

We take our responsible lending obligations very seriously, but we also want to make sure we are giving our customers the fair go they deserve. That’s why we look at other aspects of your finances, such as current repayments history, commitment levels and income.

Can I get a microloan if I have bad credit?

Yes, we offer loans to those with bad credit. We understand that from time to time regular Australians may fall on hard times or have unfortunate circumstances. We believe that your credit history shouldn’t be the only factor in deciding whether you can take out a loan. That’s why we look at your current relationship with money as well as your credit history.

Your credit history isn’t always the deciding factor if you are going to be approved for a loan. We look at at least 90 days worth of bank statements so we can see how your finances are currently going.

Honesty and transparency at Nifty

At Nifty, honesty and transparency are our priorities. That means we do not do hidden fees or charges. When you sign an agreement with the Nifty team, what you see is what you get. We’ll make everything very clear in your contract. Keep in mind that it is the responsibility of the borrower to read through our agreement carefully. It is important to make yourself aware of any fees or charges that could incur if a payment defaults. The Nifty team are here to help. So, if you’ve got questions, fire away! 

What should I consider when looking for a microloan?

How do I repay my micro loans?

No problem! If your micro loans are approved we will line up your repayments to be directly debited from your account on your payday. It’s that easy! No need to worry about remembering to make your repayments, we’ve done all the hard work for you!

Once your loan has been repaid back in full your direct debits will stop automatically. See? Hassle-free and simple!

We get it. Sometimes life gets in the way and making a repayment might not be possible. At Nifty, our team are more than happy to help we will just need you to give us plenty of notice. If you don’t think you’ll be able to make a repayment make sure you give our team a call at least 24 hours in advance. We will do our best to arrange an alternative payment schedule to keep you on track.

What if I want to repay my loan earlier?

Great! Nifty Loans gives you the flexibility to pay off your micro loan earlier! You won’t incur an early payout fee if you do decide to repay your loan early. In fact, paying off your loan early may help you save on monthly fees!
