What can Nifty offer me?

We offer unsecured personal loans from $300 – $2,000. Our unsecured loans are small loans and can be paid back over a period of 6 – 9-months

Looking for a little more? We can also offer secured personal loans. Our secured loans, also known as medium or large loans, can be paid back over a period of 9 to 36-months. These are the two types of secured loans we offer:

• Medium secured loans range from $2,100 to $4,600;
• Large secured loans of $5,000.

Our large and medium loans will often need an asset attached to the loan as security. The collateral could, for example, be any type of vehicle, your car, motorbike or boat. This collateral may decrease the risk for us as lenders, meaning you may be able to borrow a larger lump of money. 

Furthermore, it’s easy to apply for unsecured loans with Nifty. You could be approved for up to $2,000 using only a quick online application, and our cracking team of loan specialists will get to work assessing as soon as we receive it.

Breaking down unsecured personal loans

Firstly, a loan is an exchange of money for the promise of future repayment. This future repayment is usually calculated from the original loan amount (principal) + agreed fees and charges. 

Secondly, what makes an unsecured cash loan, well, unsecured, is that it has been approved based on the customers’ ability to repay the loan alone, rather than by holding property or possessions as security against it to reduce risk.

An unsecured personal loan may mean less risk for you as you don’t have any assets tied to the loan as security! With a secured personal loan, you must provide security to ‘secure’ the loan, such as a car, motorbike, caravan or boat. 

What can I use unsecured personal loans for?

At Nifty, we guarantee you a fair go, regardless of your credit score. Have bad credit? We may still be able to help. 

If you have less-than-perfect credit, or you’re receiving Centrelink benefits or a pension, apply and we’ll do our best to help. We take a fresh take on bad credit, taking into account your current income, employment and expenses. 

Had an unexpected bill come up and are now struggling to find a trustworthy short-term loan lender?  Our team are always here to help and will do whatever they can to offer you the finance you need. Here are a few examples of what you could apply for unsecured loans for:

Holidays and travel

Has finance been standing in the way of your holiday plans? Not anymore! We may be able to offer you an unsecured small loan for travel and holiday purposes. Perhaps you’re planning on taking the family to the beach for the school holidays. Or, maybe you’ve been dreaming of a big European adventure. Whatever you’ve been planning, make it happen with unsecured loans from Nifty.

We are 100% online. That means you can apply right now, from wherever you are. Our application form could only take you a few minutes to complete. We could even have an answer for you within 60 minutes if you apply during regular business hours.

More about unsecured loans for Bad Credit

Nifty takes a different approach to bad credit. We can consider applicants who have poor credit scores and may be able to offer them a loan. If you’re not sure, your best bet is to apply and let us take a look at whether we think we’ll be able to assist you based on your unique circumstances. 

At Nifty, we don’t think that a less than perfect credit score should hold you back. However, we do conduct credit checks. Nevertheless, we can guarantee that a credit check is not the only factor considered in the assessment of loan applications.

At Nifty, we prefer to look at your current relationship with money. That’s why, during the application process, we will ask you to log in to your internet banking so that we can access a secure, read-only copy of your bank statement. There is no need to stress. This is just so we can get a closer look at your spending habits and major deposits in order to get a better idea of the whole picture and verify income. We use the latest in safe banking technology to ensure your information is encrypted.

At Nifty Loans, we believe that 100% honesty and transparency is key to any successful relationship and happy customers. So, that’s why all the costs and fees associated with your loan are clearly outlined in your contract prior which you’ll be able to run through before digitally signing it. 

For a general idea of what you might pay on unsecured loans, take a look at our costs page.
