Fast, Flexible Short Term Loans Tailored to Your Needs
Short term loans offer you fast access to cash when you need it most, without the long commitments of traditional personal finance. City Finance's short term loans in Australia allow you to borrow from $500 to $5,000, repayable over as little as 12 weeks or up to 104 weeks. As one of the leading short term money lenders, we pride ourselves on being inclusive: whether you’re on a low income, have bad credit, or receive Centrelink benefits, we’ll assess your application based on your ability to repay now, not past scores.
Because emergencies and opportunities don’t wait, our short term cash loans process is built for speed. Apply online in minutes, talk to a friendly advisor to tailor your schedule, and receive funds, often the same day. You choose weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments that align with your pay or benefit cycle, so your loan for short term works for you.
Plus, with no early‑exit fees, you can repay your short term loan ahead of schedule to save on fees.
