What is a white goods loan?

A white goods loan is a helping hand when your life, and appliances, seem to be turning against you. Dishwasher pack it in? Washing machine starting to mysteriously leak? White goods are expensive to repair or replace and disaster always seems to strike when you’re least prepared. 

That’s where Nifty Loans come in. We know you can’t anticipate emergencies – no one can.  That’s why we offer quick financial solutions to Aussies across the country. All you need is an internet connection and a few minutes of your time to submit an application with us. Apply online today for up to $10,000 and you could even have an outcome in just 60 minutes!* 

What can I get with a white goods loan?

Nifty’s personal loans can be used to cover the cost of white goods repairs or even the purchase of new household items. That means you could use your white goods loan to cover the repair or replacement of any of the following:

• Fridges
• Washing machines
• Dishwashers
• Ovens and microwaves
• Air conditioners
• TVs & electrical goods
• Beds & other furniture

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Our loans start at $300 and go all the way up to $10,000, so the options are endless. 

Why are white goods so expensive?

White goods are large electrical home appliances that are typically finished in white enamel. In letting/rental terms, they generally refer to the major kitchen appliances, such as fridges, washing machines and dishwashers. Yet some also consider large household goods such as TVs, beds, and other furniture to fit within the same category. 

White goods are often a huge time saver and have become a necessary feature of modern-day life. Yet, since these large items are expensive to manufacture the cost is passed down to everyday consumers. As a result, buying and replacing white goods can leave many in the lurch in the unfortunate event of a broken stove or a leaking washing machine. That’s why lenders like Nifty offer personal loans to help with these unexpected disasters.

Why trust Nifty for white goods loans?

No invisible costs

At Nifty Loans, we believe that honesty is the best policy. That’s why you’ll find all the possible costs associated with your loan in your contract. You can find our costs all over our website, but in case you missed them, you can find them at the bottom of this page, or on our costs page.

Some loan types may have other payable fees and charges. If you do miss a repayment on your loan, there may be additional fees that apply. To find out more about fees and charges for loans, feel free to give our friendly customer service team a call or send a quick email. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.

Easy repayments

Our easy loan experience doesn’t stop once you sign your loan contract. We offer easy repayments as well! Much like our application process, our repayment system utilises the latest in safe banking technology to save you time and hassle. We simply set up a direct debit to your nominated bank account and your repayments will be automatically transferred once they’re due. It’s that easy. No need to worry about setting hundreds of reminders only to forget to the due date anyway. Now, you can spend your time on what you do best, rather than worrying about due dates.

Do we perform credit checks?

The short answer is yes, we do perform credit checks as part of our responsible lending practices. However, don’t let that deter you from applying for quick cash loans. We are more lenient in this regard than traditional lenders. Nifty Loans understands that sometimes life just happens and we don’t think your future self should continually pay the price. We want to give any Australian a fair go for easy and accessible finance.

Do we offer white goods loans for bad credit?

Yes! If you have bad credit and looking for finance, we can help you out! We believe in second chances. So, if you think you may not be approved for online loans, think Nifty! Instead of simply looking at your credit score, our loan specialists look through your credit history to find and highlight your good qualities and really make you shine.

Do we offer white goods loans for people on Centrelink?

Much like our white goods loan bad credit, we do offer loans for people on Centrelink. If you’re receiving Centrelink and looking for finance, then you may have been knocked. But, at Nifty, we consider Centrelink payments as regular income as long as you’ve been receiving it for at least 3 months. So, if you receive Centrelink and you’re on the hunt for finance consider Nifty Loans.

Here's a Nifty question!

Thought about second-hand white goods? These can be much cheaper than buying new

What about appliance leasing?

When looking for white goods, appliance lease agreements can seem like an attractive option. They offer consumers the ability to lease a wide range of appliances, electronics and furniture with straightforward and manageable payments. When looking at the full picture, though, the downsides of a lease agreement become apparent. If you’re unsure what appliance leasing is, let us give you a quick run-down. 

Consumer Lease Agreements

Known technically as a ‘consumer-lease agreement’, appliance rental is a financial service different to traditional credit lending. When entering into a lease agreement, you do not receive any cash; what you do get, however, is an appliance or product of your choosing. You will then make weekly, fortnightly, or monthly instalments as repayment for this product. The word ‘repayment’ is highlighted because it is more like a rental payment. You see, at least with most consumer lease agreements, you are usually only paying to rent the product, you are not purchasing it. Meaning you will not own the product, even after the payment period ends. 

With this said, most suppliers do allow customers to purchase the product at a discounted price after the lease term has finished. At face value, this may even seem relatively reasonable, given the instalments are often low and manageable. Though, when customers are paying up to triple the cost of the original product, to then not own it, the suitability of the agreement may be questioned. Also keep in mind this in general information and different suppliers of these agreements do have different terms. 

Are there other options?

Yes, there are plenty of other ways to get white goods if you’re strapped for cash. In fact, Nifty offers small personal loans that can be used to purchase white goods! The best part? Our loans will often end up being much cheaper than if a customer was to lease the same product through an appliance rental company. To hit this point home, we have compared the different cost of receiving the same product using three different methods. These being, purchasing the product outright, borrowing the money through Nifty and, entering into a consumer-lease agreement. Take a look below to see the results!
