What are cash loans and personal loans in Sydney?
In need of finding payday loans in Sydney, or want to know more about cash loans in Sydney? Cash loans and payday loans in Sydney actually do not exist anymore — they were replaced by Small Amount Credit Contracts (SACCs) in 2013, when the Australian federal government introduced new legislation. However, the term “payday loans” is still very much used across Sydney and from a Google search perspective. SACC payday loans are loans up to the amount of $2,000 and have a cap on the amount of interest that can be charged by a lender — be aware that in most cases there is generally an establishment fee too.
Before taking out payday loans that incur interest and other associated costs, you should see if you are eligible for low-interest or interest-free loans first. With so many options online to find payday loans, it can be very confusing to work out which payday loan is right for you: which lender is best, which lender is reputable, and whether the loan offered is right for you. Thankfully CashPal offers payday loans and same day loans in Sydney, and takes the hassle and time-wasting out of the process — with a large panel of payday loan lenders across Australia to match you with the right lender.

Do you want to apply for cash loans or payday loans with bad credit?
Bad credit certainly doesn’t help you get a loan more easily, of course, but it doesn’t make it impossible either. All loan applications are different and every circumstance is not the same — which is exactly why the good lenders we work with will factor in all of your information for every loan application, not just your credit score.
What would you use a payday loan for?
Some common reasons to obtain a payday loan are:
Car repair & car registration
Unexpected bills
Medical bills
Weekend getaways
Weddings
Holidays
Rental bond
Home improvements
Cosmetic surgery
Dental
White goods

Frequently asked questions about cash loans in Sydney
What do cash loans cost?+
The cost of your cash loan will depend on the lender we match you with. Most of our lenders can be flexible with the fees and costs associated with their loans — however, this is at the discretion of the lender themselves. If your application is approved by a lender, remember to read your loan contract thoroughly, as it will contain all relevant costs.
Does CashPal provide Centrelink loans?+
CashPal does not provide loans for or on behalf of Centrelink and has no relation to Centrelink whatsoever. Some of the lenders that CashPal work with might be able to find a loan if you are receiving Centrelink as a form of income. You can still apply for a payday loan through CashPal, even if you are receiving Centrelink payments. If Centrelink payments are the main source of your income, our lenders will assess your application just like any other application. As long as you fulfil the list of CashPal’s eligibility requirements, you can apply for a loan through CashPal, even when you are receiving Centrelink payments.
What documents do I need for a payday loan?+
We only manage your application for our lender-finding service and the search for a lender for you. During that process, we’ll access a read-only copy of your bank statements and your identification in order to find a suitable lender. Since we only handle the initial application and lender-finding, we won’t need you to submit any other supporting documentation to us. Your chosen lender, however, might require supporting documents to help support your case for a loan — they’ll be looking to confirm both your identity and your personal circumstances. This could include copies of bank statements, payslips, and/or bills. If you are receiving Centrelink payments, your lender may also ask you to verify this by accessing your myGov account. Requirements differ from lender to lender, so it’s best to wait until we find a provider for you, then check what their requirements are. No matter what your financial situation is, we’re here to help you find the perfect lender — feel free to contact our team for further information, or you can send us an email.
Are you going to call my boss when I apply for a cash loan or payday loan?+
We will not. However, your lender could do a quick employment check. Not to worry — our partner lenders employ well-trained operators who would never disclose any personal information about you or your application to your employer. We hold our privacy and security policy in high regard, so all of our customers’ private information is kept private and secure. It is your choice whether you think it’s best to have your employer know or not; we believe that it should be you and only you who discloses any of your own personal information to anyone. CashPal works only with the most trustworthy lenders that will ensure your private information is not disclosed to anyone, especially your employer — we treat your private information in the most proper manner, keeping it safe and secure.
How do I apply for a cash loan in Sydney?+
We are 100% online, including our application process. All applications must be submitted via our mobile-friendly website. If you need to get in touch with us directly, you can do so by filling out a contact form or sending us an email.
Can I get a no credit check payday loan?+
That will depend on your lender. Some of the lenders we deal with conduct credit checks, while others do not. Regardless, the lenders we can find won’t typically reject you just for having a bad credit score. If you’re looking for no credit check personal loans, you’re not alone — mistakes happen and sometimes life just gets in the way. At CashPal, we partner with a range of responsible lenders, so most will conduct credit score checks on loan applications to ensure they are lending cash responsibly. Ultimately, every lender is different, so while we can’t promise we’ll be able to find you a loan with no credit check, many of the lenders we work with can look past your credit score to find a suitable loan product. So if you’re concerned about bad credit — don’t be! Your poor credit history no longer needs to hold you back.
When can I apply for a small personal loan?+
Applications for a payday loan can be submitted any time via our online application, but we only process applications during regular business hours. Our hours are: Monday to Thursday, 8am to 6pm, and Friday, 8am to 4pm EST. If you apply or contact us outside of business hours, we will respond the next business day.
What do payday loans cost?+
The costs of payday loans will depend on the lender, and we encourage our lenders to be open about the fees and costs associated with their loans. Once you’ve filled out the CashPal application form, we’ll find you a suitable lender. Once you’ve accepted the offer from the lender, you can discuss the amount, when you can get the money, and your loan repayments directly with them. When you can get your money will depend on your chosen lender — if you bank with a different institution, it typically takes a little longer to process, so consult your lender about how fast you can get the funds, especially if you need them immediately. If you need assistance filling in the form, you can contact us and we’ll guide and help you every step along the way.
How do I pay my cash loan back?+
It’s important to pay back a personal loan on time so that you don’t incur extra costs or have any defaults added to your credit record. Once your loan is approved, ask your lender to help you set up a direct debit schedule in line with your payday — the amount you need to repay and when you receive your pay are both important here. Most lenders give you options for how and when you pay back your loan, as long as you make your repayments on time. Your lender will ensure you are fully informed and can track due dates for payments, outlining every payment date and guiding you through each step along the way. Please be aware that there are regulations over the payments of loans, so if you do not pay on time you might incur extra costs or have defaults listed on your credit file.
What interest, fees or charges are there with cash loans?+
There is a common misconception that loans from small lenders are full of lots of different fees that you have to keep track of. In fact, the costs offered by our partner lenders are quite straightforward — all of the specific costs of your loan will be outlined in your loan contract.
What happens if my payday loan payments bounce?+
If you don’t make a repayment, a dishonour fee is generally added to the balance of your loan. You should be able to find these fees outlined in your contract, so make sure you thoroughly read this document so that you know exactly what all the relevant fees are from the outset. If you think there’s a chance that you’ll miss a repayment, or that you’re going to be paid late at all during your repayment period, make sure you let your lender know as soon as possible. If your circumstances have suddenly changed, contact your lender to find out if you are eligible to apply for Financial Hardship — do this as soon as possible before your lender is forced to take any action. Our lenders are generous and understanding; they will look to help you in the best way possible.
What happens if I stop making repayments on my cash loan?+
If you stop making your repayments, you run the risk of having a default listed on your credit file. This could have a severe effect on your credit history and stay there for up to 5 years — which is definitely not a short amount of time, and will be a consideration when you apply for another loan. Your account could also be passed on to an external debt collection agency, a final step for lenders. If your circumstances suddenly change, contact your lender as soon as possible to find out if you could apply for Financial Hardship. No matter what your financial issues are, we are here to help you find the perfect lender — feel free to contact CashPal at any time, or send us an email.
What is Financial Hardship?+
Financial Hardship occurs when a sudden change in circumstances makes it difficult to meet your financial commitments like bills, expenses and loan repayments. It often happens for one of two reasons: either a change of circumstances occurred after you received a loan you could originally afford, or you could not afford to repay the loan when you first obtained it. If you have a sudden change in circumstances and are unable to meet your commitments, make sure you advise your loan provider as soon as possible — you have certain rights if your loan is covered by the credit law, and they will discuss with you what to do next. If you are facing the latter reason, you should get legal financial advice immediately. When applying for Financial Hardship, be as sensible and reasonable as possible: know what you can and cannot afford, and don’t commit to any repayments you cannot afford. If you are finding it hard to manage your finances, consult an accredited financial adviser or visit moneysmart.gov.au.
Can I get more than one cash loan at a time?+
This will depend on your circumstances and the lender. To get more than one loan at a time, you must be in a financial position where you’ll be able to pay your loans on time, and you’ll need approval from your lender. If you apply with our lender-finding service, we’ll do our best to find a lender for you; alternatively, you can contact your current loan provider directly to see what options you have available. If the deal between you and the lender is suitable, you can go on and take another loan — and if not, we’ll try to find you another lender who suits your needs. If your lender agrees and your circumstances are right, then you may be eligible to get more than one loan at a time.
Can I apply for cash loans if I am bankrupt?+
If you are in a current or undischarged bankruptcy, we will not automatically count you out of our services. We understand that times are rough and circumstances may not be the most supportive, which is why we are determined to do our best to help you find the right lender who might be able to help with your financial issues. CashPal is a lender-finding service available in Sydney, and as long as you fulfil the eligibility requirements that we have, you can apply for our service. We encourage you to be open with us and our lenders, as we are here to help you by understanding the whole scope of the situation before deciding an outcome to your loan application. Apply using the form above and we’ll see if we can find a lender for you.
What happens if I have a complaint?+
We’re not happy if you’re not happy. If you have had a less than satisfactory experience using our service, please let us know — you can contact us using the form on our contact page. We will get in touch with you quickly to see if we can resolve the issue. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you can contact the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) for an independent review. You can contact AFCA on 1800 931 678 or visit their website for more information.
