FAQ2019-10-08T03:15:02+00:00
What is the minimum and maximum term for an AdvancedCash Loan? Which is the best term to opt for?2021-06-01T04:45:56+00:00

Our personal loan terms range from 4 weeks to 5 years, and you need to choose the loan term depending on factors like your repayment ability and cash flow needs. The longer the term is, the lower your repayments will be over time, but the more interest you’ll pay. The shorter it is, the higher your repayments will be. This means you’ll pay less interest over time, because there will be less time for interest to be charged.

What if I cannot pay on the scheduled repayment date?2022-01-17T01:03:51+00:00

In the event that you believe that you will be unable to meet your repayments, please contact us immediately and discuss your circumstances with one of our helpful customer service team, so we are able to find an appropriate payment agreement that works for both parties.

If you suspect that you are going to have insufficient funds in your bank account on your repayment date, you must contact us immediately to put a halt on the direct debit. Contact must be made at least two business days before the due date, otherwise we will be unable to stop the direct debit, as it will have already been processed by your bank.

What will happen if I don’t pay?2022-01-17T00:33:54+00:00

If you fail or refuse to make repayment(s) as per your loan agreement then we may do any one or all of the following:

  • Adding default fee(s) to your loan balance;
  • Attempting direct debit transaction(s) for the outstanding arrears amount from your nominated bank account at any date/time after the default date;
  • Reporting your credit default to credit reporting agencies;
  • Contacting your employer to lodge a wage deduction request;
  • Employing a debt collection agency to recover the debt. This will incur a collection agency fee;
  • Taking legal action against you; and/or using any other rights and powers under your loan agreement with us.

Can I repay my loan early?2020-05-31T02:10:42+00:00

Yes – We encourage our clients to repay their AdvancedCash loans as early as possible! We do not charge any additional pre-payment fee, prepayment penalty or premium. Please note that Interest is accrued on your loan daily, based on the outstanding balance; therefore under some circumstances paying your loan in advance means you will incur less interest.

Why haven’t I received payment of my money?2022-01-17T00:35:27+00:00
