Speedy Money-PayDay Loan - Waterloo, Australia

Essentially it's a small loan with repayments that are aligned with the borrower's pay day. The term originated from the UK where this type of lending has experienced massive growth over the past decade. It's also becoming better known in Australia as it's a convenient way of obtaining credit in a fast, hassle-free process that's totally online. Statistics show that a borrower is more likely to meet their repayments if they are scheduled to come out on their pay day. It also takes the hassle out of having to budget for a repayment or remember when a repayment falls due.

This means that if you applied for a $400 loan over 30 days then your total repayments equal $496.

Our Payday Loan customers all have regular incomes and earn more than $500 a week. Most customers are using payday loans to cover temporary cash shortfalls over the course of a month. Often customers tell us that they have been hit with two or three unexpected bills at the same time, there has been a change in their pay cycle for some reason, or it's a particularly busy or expensive time of year, say around Christmas and school holidays. And meeting repayments does not always go according to plan either. Generally we try to avoid levying fees where possible. This can be done by making part payments, or catching up on repayments, thus avoiding extending the term of the loan.
Sometimes we are asked if we do credit checks when assessing a loan application and the answer is yes, but not always. We check the credit file for first time borrowers, but if you are in need of any subsequent loans we do not always find it necessary to make further credit inquiries. The most important information that we collect regarding your application are your bank statements. We use this information to assess whether you can afford to meet your repayments. We like to know that all our customers can afford to repay their payday loans on time. This helps us manage our business, and helps of customers avoid late payment and dishonour fees.
