FAQ's

What is a payday cash advance?

A payday cash advance is a loan for a small amount ($100 - $600), usually loaned until your next payday.
The cost of a $100 cash advance is typically about half the cost of a bank dishonour fee, less than paying late fee's for your rent, and certainly more convenient and private than having to visit a bank.

What are the main criteria to get a payday cash advance?

In order to be eligible for a Payday Cash Loan cash advance you must:

• Be employed full or part time (receiving holiday and sick pay)
• Have been employed for at least 3 months
• Earn a minimum of $400 per week net (after tax) directly into your bank account.

Payday Cash Loan is a responsible lender and has varied criteria to ensure we offer the right loans to our customers. If we feel that you might have problems staying on top of your debt, we may reduce the amount available to you, or your application may be unsuccessful.

How do I apply?

2. Tell your payroll to expect a call from Payday Cash Loan to check some identification details.
3. Contact Payday Cash Loan to confirm your payroll officer has been contacted. You can do this during your application or after you apply. You'll then receive an email with your account log-in details, so you can view your application's progress.

   (Payday Cash Loan will pre-approve you for enough cash for a year…a pre-approved payday facility of at least $5000, depending on your income. This means that after your first cash advance you’ll have access to instant cash advances whenever you need it – anytime, any day, anywhere.)

What happens after I apply?

After you complete your application and wait a couple of seconds for us to review it, you’ll receive your preliminary loan contract. This screen appears just seconds after you submit your application (by receiving your contract straight away, not only do we not waste your time going back and forth with emails, it also means you’ll get your money faster).

In your contract you’ll find out EVERYTHING you need to know. Check your repayment schedule and fees suit you. When you’re happy with it all, confirm your loan.

How much can I borrow?

Payday Cash Loan pre-approves all eligible clients for enough cash for a year…a pre-approved payday facility for at least $5000, depending on your pay.

This means that after your first, you have access to instant cash advances of $100 - $600, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And don’t worry; you only pay interest on what you use, when you use it.

If it is your first cash advance and you are paid weekly, $200 is the maximum. If paid fortnightly, the maximum is $300. Clients paid monthly are eligible for the lesser of $400 and 30% of their pay.
Once you have paid off your first payday advance, you will be able to borrow more (providing your circumstances have not changed). We are always careful to lend amounts which will not lead to repayment difficulty or bad credit.

What are the fees involved with a Payday Cash Loan cash advance?

Payday Cash Loan fees are 26% of what you borrow at any given time. All Payday Cash Loan cash advances are repaid by direct debit so you don't have to worry about arranging payment.

Once your application is approved you will receive an email containing a fees statement which contains everything you need to know

What’s the deal with the debit card?

All new clients are sent out a member’s only debit card free of charge when they get their first cash advance.

After your first cash advance, you can gain instant access to funds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by choosing to have your cash put straight onto your debit card when you re-apply.

All you’ll have to do is just confirm a few quick questions, choose your advance amount and confirm the one page agreement. Five seconds later your cash is automatically on your debit card … ready to go, even if it’s some ridiculous hour of the night or a public holiday.

If you don’t have a debit card you’ll be limited to getting cash advances within business hours so it’s super important that you look after it. Here are a few more reasons to look after your debit card…

• No waiting 24 hours for EFT transfer of funds.
• You get paid anytime regardless of bank hours.
• Has a BSB and ACCOUNT number just like other accounts
• Ability to transact between other bank accounts

 

Can I still get a cash advance if I have a bad credit history?

Payday Cash Loan approves cash advances for applicants with defaults on their credit history. After all, some people use Payday Cash Loan as an additional source of credit because traditional lenders will not approve applicants with any defaults.

While Payday Cash Loan’s lending policy is quite liberal with respect to credit history, there are cases when cash advance applications are denied. If you are bankrupt, in a part nine debt agreement or have an extremely bad credit history, your application will be denied.

Which documents do I need to apply for a payday cash advance?

None. The application is paperless.

How does the payday advance process work?

With your member log-in you can see whether we've contacted your payroll, you've been approved, and whether you've been paid, as well as any details you may need to know about your repayments.
You will also receive emails and SMS messages to keep you up to date. We know time is of the essence.
The best ways to ensure your application is processed quickly is to read the requirements contact your payroll officer to authorize us to contact them, and then get in touch with Payday Cash Loan straight away.

Why do I need to contact my payroll?

Instead of asking for identification, we do all the hard work for you, by checking your application details with your payroll officer. This makes things much faster and easier as there’s no mucking about with faxes.
However, most companies won’t give out an employee’s details without their verbal or written consent. This means that you need to contact your payroll so they know they’ve got permission to share your details with us.
On the rare occasion that we have difficulty contacting your payroll officer, we may request identification documents to help speed up the cash advance process and get your cash advance to you faster.
What information does Payday Cash Loan need from my payroll?
We confirm the following details with your payroll:

• Address
• Length of employment
• Type of employment
• Income
• Pay schedule
• Bank details

We need this information because as responsible lenders we work hard to ensure our cash advances are affordable for you.

How long do I have to wait to get an approval?

If you contact your payroll officer as soon as possible and we can confirm details with them, your cash advance may be approved as soon as 30 minutes after you submit your application.

As a returning client you will be approved instantly (providing your details haven’t changed).
Payday Cash Loan sends SMS updates. Does that mean I can't get a cash advance without a mobile phone?
Not at all. Payday Cash Loan sends both emails and SMS messages and makes updates available in your login area in real time. If you do not have a mobile phone, you will not receive SMS updates but will be kept up to date via your member log-in and emails. You can also call us anytime on 1300 327 828.

What if I cannot pay on the due date?

If you think you will not have sufficient funds in your bank account, you must contact us immediately to halt the direct debit. You must contact us at least two days prior to the direct debit date or it will be rejected resulting in a dishonour fee from your bank.

Do I have to wait ‘til I’ve paid back my current cash advance before I get another one?

Yes.

Rollovers and additional loans can often lead to a debt spiral that can be hard to recover from. By not allowing these types of loans, we help you maintain your financial welfare.
