Here's a Nifty question!

Where was your last weekend getaway?

What sort of Weekend Loans has Nifty approved before?

What is the difference between unsecured and secured loans?

At Nifty Loans, we offer three types of personal loans: small unsecured loans, medium optionally secured loans and large secured loans. Here’s a breakdown of what all that means.

Small Unsecured Loans

Small unsecured loans are small loans from $300 to $2,000 that you can borrow for 6 to 9 months. Unsecured simply means they don’t require you to attach any security to your application. Small weekend loans are perfect for a little financial pick-me-up, without too much commitment.

Medium and Large Secured Loans

Medium and large secured loans start from $2,001 and go up to $5,000 and the repayment period is between 9 to 24 months. Medium secured loans start at $2,001 and go up to $4,600 and we also offer large loans of $5,000. Secured simply means that you can list security to apply for this amount, such as a car, motorbike, caravan or boat. Medium or large secured loans could be worth considering for a big bachelorette or bachelor weekend, especially if you’re a key member of the bridal party and want to make it one for the books.
