A rough patch does not have to stop you from getting the help you need. CashPal considers more than a score, with an assessment that looks at current income, regular expenses and existing commitments. Costs are shown before you accept, and repayments are scheduled to match weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay cycles. When approved during business hours, funds are usually sent the same day. Your bank decides when they show.
What is a Loan for Bad Credit?
A loan for bad credit is a personal loan that looks beyond credit scores or financial history. Credible lenders like CashPal weighs recent income, regular expenses and current commitments to decide if the repayments would be manageable under Australian credit law. It is not a separate product or a guaranteed approval; it is the same type of credit contract assessed with extra attention to affordability and stability
Who Can Benefit From a Bad Credit Loan?
Bad credit loans can help when a past issue is still on your file but the budget has stabilised. They are generally used for short term needs like bills that cannot wait, essential repairs, or small medical and household costs. Borrow only what you need and check that the repayments fit comfortably before you proceed.

Local help when you need it
Questions rarely wait for business hours, but our Brisbane support team does. Call, email, or start a live chat from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. AEST, Monday to Friday. You speak with the same person from application to final repayment, so you never repeat your story.
Rates, Fees and Terms
Fees and charges follow Australian credit law. You will see the establishment fee, any monthly service fee and applicable interest before you accept. There is no fee for paying out early, and where interest applies it is recalculated to the payout date. Terms can be aligned to your pay cycle to make planning easier.
What Affects Approval and Timing of the Loan?
Approval depends on affordability today, not just history. Clear documents and consistent income help. Timing depends on when approval occurs and how your bank posts incoming payments. Public holidays and late evening approvals may push display to the next business day.
Funding Alternatives to Consider
If a loan does not fit your situation, there are other options such as asking your provider for a payment plan, contacting a financial counsellor, or speaking with your bank about short term support. If a complaint arises, you can ask us to review it and you may also contact the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
Frequently asked questions on Bad Credit Loans
What counts as bad credit?
Defaults on past loans, late payments or a low score on your credit report. We focus on your current position and whether the repayments would be manageable.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
An application places a credit enquiry on your file with a credit reporting body. Multiple applications in a short time can add up, so apply only when you are ready.
Can I be approved for a loan even with past defaults?
It is possible. Old issues do not automatically rule you out, though very recent or serious problems can affect the outcome.
How much can I borrow and for how long?
From $500 to $5,000 with typical terms of 2 to 6 months. The amount offered depends on affordability checks.
How fast can I get the funding after the loan approval?
When approval happens during business hours, payouts are usually sent the same day. Your bank decides when they show on your side.
What documents do you need from me?
Government photo ID, recent payslips and 3 months of bank statements. If something is missing, we will ask for a quick upload.
Are there hidden fees?
No. All costs are displayed before you accept, including the establishment fee, any monthly service fee and applicable interest.
Can I repay early?
Yes. There is no fee for early payout. Interest and monthly fees, where applicable, are recalculated to your payout date.
What if I cannot make a repayment?
Contact us early. Support under the National Credit Code may be available, including hardship options that can reduce pressure.
Who regulates online loans?
Lending in Australia is governed by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and the National Credit Code. ASIC oversees licensing and conduct, and AFCA handles complaints if we cannot resolve an issue together.
