Short Term Loans FAQs
Short term loans in Australia are just that, short term! They are small loans up to $10,000 and are repaid over 6 to 24 months. Customers are usually required to make payment instalments in-line with the day they’re paid.
If you need access to short term loans from $300 to $10,000, turn to Nifty Loans. Our short term loans could be the funding option you need when emergencies arise.
Does the phrase ‘credit check’ make you cringe? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Lots of Aussies are afraid their bad credit score automatically rules them out from getting a loan. Fortunately, Nifty has provided thousands of Aussies with short term loans bad credit, which is why we put more focus on your current finances to look at how you’re going to repay the loan. If your financial history is solid, then we see no problem approving your loan application.
At the end of the day, we’re not your average lender. We welcome clients with bad credit and believe that a bad credit score doesn’t come close to telling your full story!
There are a lot of online lenders out there who will entice you with promises of ‘no credit checks’. If you ever do come across an offer that sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Which is why your first step should be to look for a lender who adheres to the code of responsible lending. As part of this commitment, Nifty conducts credit checks on short term loan applications.
Yes! We believe in inclusion for all Australians which is why we encourage all eligible Aussies to apply. If your loan repayments will comfortably fit with your Centrelink income, you stand a chance at approval.
Our team will assess your application and do their best to understand your financial situation and match you with a loan. So, while this doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed to get a loan, we can guarantee you will be given a fair and just assessment.
With Nifty, our repayments work by setting you up with a direct debit. This means your repayments come out of your account automatically, without you having to worry. The dates that your direct debits will come out of your account will be outlined in your contract. These will generally be set up to match your pay cycle, so that you know you will never have to worry about missing a payment.
You can also make a payment via our customer portal. If you run into issues, contact our office on 1300 471 328 for assistance.
Unfortunately, we don’t offer short term business loans.
Nifty’s short term loans are short loans of up to $10,000 designed for personal use. Short term business loans are quick funds supplied to businesses by lenders to cover any unexpected costs, such as emergency repairs.
They might even be used to take advantage of a sudden opportunity that would be a lucrative long-term investment. Short term business loans usually start at a minimum of $5,000.
Our loans are short term loans and need to be registered in an individual’s name, rather than on behalf of an entity or a business. If you’re in the market for short term business loans, you may want to look elsewhere.
