$3000 Loan

Am I Eligible to Apply for a $3000 Loan?

Our goal is to make it easy for anyone to apply – and receive – a personal loan from us. We don’t make our applicants jump through dozens of hoops (like some other lenders!) and we aim to approve as many applications as we can.

As long as you can provide us with some necessary requirements, like ID, proof of income and supporting documents, then you’re probably eligible for a payday loan with us. In order to apply for a personal loan with us, we don’t require tons of paperwork, all we ask for is the following:

1. A copy of your ID
2. A short application form with details such as your address and phone number
3. Proof that you are receiving some sort of income (this can be a salary or Centrelink payments)
4. 90-day history of bank transactions

If you’re unsure of your eligibility please feel free to reach out to our customer service here.

Will You Consider Applications from People with Bad Credit?

When it comes to whether a loan is approved or declined, a credit score is often the deciding factor. When a person applies for a loan, a lender will run a credit check which produces a credit score. This figure tells the lender how much risk is involved with lending the potential customer money, and what their likelihood of meeting their repayments is.

An applicant who has missed repayments or paid them late in the past, will have a credit score dragged down. Whereas a borrower who has a good history of meeting all of their repayments on time, will have a higher credit score, showing them to be low risk to lend to.

In Australia, credit scores sit between zero (being the lowest possible score) and 1000 (being the highest). The below credit rating key gives an indication of how credit scores are judged:

0 – 549: Very Poor

550 – 624: Poor

625 – 699: Fair

700 – 799: Good

800 – 1000: Excellent

Of course, financial institutions are much more inclined to lend money to an applicant with a high credit score, as their track record shows that it’s likely that they will meet all their repayments on time. Many lenders will actually automatically decline an application if their credit score is below 699.

However, we are not like other lenders! at City Finance, we believe in inclusivity, and think that just because you may have had an issue with a repayment in the past, doesn’t mean that you should be blacklisted for years. We are willing to lend to applicants who have bad credit, and will conduct a personal call to determine your specific circumstances, and to sort out how we can lend you money with terms that you can comfortably meet.

If you have a less than perfect credit score and are looking for a responsible lender that’s willing to issue you a loan, then look no further. You can find out more about our bad credit personal loans here.

Is a Credit Check Required for a $3000 Loan?

As we touched on already, lenders run a credit check to determine how high or low the risk is of lending money to potential borrowers. The credit checks produce a score that represents the applicant’s lending history. A low score shows that other lenders have had a problem with the borrower meeting their repayments, or paying them late. On the other hand, a high score shows that previous lenders haven’t had any problems with the borrower, determining them a low risk of missing payments.

At City Finance, we do run credit checks on each customer who applies for a loan. 

If you’re a new customer and concerned about your bad credit history which may make you ineligible for a loan, you shouldn’t be. While we do need to run a credit check for new customers, we can still offer loans for borrowers with a bad credit score.

What Can I Use a $3000 Loan For?

A small personal loan can be used for basically anything, but here are some examples of why you may need one.

Emergencies

Have you experienced an emergency and need some quick funds to cover the costs? Often, these situations are unavoidable and, because it’s an unexpected event, it can be very hard to budget for. But, our payday loans can help. Even if you have a ‘rainy day fund’ with money set aside in case of emergencies, if the total amount is more than the total, we can lend some cash to bridge the gap. Out of work? You might still be able to apply under one of our unemployed loans.

Car repairs

For many people, when a car becomes undriveable due to a necessary repair, it can result in a loss of income. In cases like these, it’s not possible to wait until the next payday to fix the car. Our small cash loans can help deliver money quickly, so that you can get your car fixed as soon as possible.

Medical bills

Monthly medical bills, emergency treatment and medicine are all health expenses that can add up significantly. Even with Australia’s progressive health care system, there are still many out of pocket expenses. You should never neglect your health because of a dire financial circumstance. Instead, take out a small personal loan with us and prioritize your health.

Dental Bills

If you’ve ever been hit with a sudden tooth ache, then you’ll know just how unbearable it is. Often, this pain won’t stop until a dentist checks it out, either. Dental emergencies aside, even regular dentist visits can cost in the thousands of dollars. If you’re facing a huge dental bill that you don’t have the funds to cover, our short cash loans can help.

Travel

It’s hard to beat the level of relaxation that’s usually felt on a long awaited holiday. If you’re overdue for getaway but don’t have the funds to head off, then you needn’t wait. Instead, you can take out a travel loan with us and pay the total off gradually once you’re back.

Weekend loans

When was the last time you did something fun? Like a staycation at a hotel in the city, a long champagne brunch with girlfriends, or a round of golf at your favourite course? If you’re struggling to remember, then you’re probably due for a day of fun! If the reason you haven’t treated yourself in a while is due to lack of funds, then we have the solution. Take out a personal loan with us and gradually pay it back as you can afford.

Home renovations

Are you selling your house and hoping to make some small upgrades in an effort to add value to the final sale price? It’s a tried and tested method that’s proven to work. However, it can be tricky to do the funds if you can’t find the cash prior to the sale. Not to worry! We can lend you the money and you can either pay it back gradually, or as a lump sum when you sell your house.

Rental bonds

Rental Bonds are a security deposit that’s paid to your landlord before you move in. This money is held by the landlord in case you damage the house during your tenure. While the amount can vary, it’s usually equivalent to about four weeks rent. If your rent is already on the higher time, a rental bond can be a significant amount of money, and hard to budget for. To cover the costs, you can take out a small loan with us, and gradually pay back the amount as you can afford.
