We are always upfront and transparent about our costs – no hidden fees or charges.

Are you experiencing stress over an expense that you don’t have the funds to pay? You don’t have to! The solution is as easy as taking out a $2500 loan with City Finance.

Many people become overwhelmed at the thought of taking out a loan. After all, there’s an extensive application process, long wait time and confusing terms and conditions, right? While this can certainly be the case with some lenders, it’s not true at City Finance.

Needing money is stressful, so we believe the process of acquiring the funds should eliminate this stress, not add more. We offer unsecured loans quickly from start to finish. The application process for our loans takes just a matter of minutes, our assessors are fast, and minimal documentation is required. Plus, we outline any fees and charges clearly, so that you’re never hit with any unexpected costs.

At City Finance we focus on loans, and loans only, so we’ve worked hard to streamline our borrowing process and make it as quick and simple as possible. In fact, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, as you can see below.

ONLINE APPLICATION

To apply for a loan with City Finance, simply fill in our online application form here. It’s quick and easy, you’ll just need to select how much you’d like to borrow, your preferred repayment term, provide some personal details, and verify your identity.

CONFIRMATION

Most customers receive a response within a couple of business hours of applying. In some cases, our team may get in touch to request additional information to finalise your loan.

FUNDING

Once your loan is approved and the contract is signed, most customers receive their funds within minutes, so you can get on with what matters sooner. Repayments will be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on your selected plan.

Am I Eligible to Apply for a $2500 Loan?

We aim to help as many Aussies as possible, and have approved thousands and thousands of loans. So, even if you’re not considered the perfect candidate for a loan (e.g. bad credit, self employed or low income) then we can probably still approve your application. We are known for having flexible lending criteria.

As long as you are aged 21+, have some sort of regular income and can provide a few pieces of supporting documentation, then you’re probably eligible for a quick cash loan with us.

Below is more detailed information on what exactly is required to apply for a $2,500 personal loan with us.

  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.

Is a Credit Check Required for a $2500 Personal Loan?

Yes, we run credit checks for all of our customers. However, if you have a less than perfect credit score, there’s still a good chance we can approve your loan.

If you’re not familiar with exactly what a credit check is, let us break down the basics.

A credit score is a figure that’s produced from a credit check that’s run by lenders for potential new clients. Each person has a credit score (unless they’ve never borrowed money before), and this figure reflects whether the person is high risk (low credit score) or low risk (high credit score), to meet their repayments on time and pay back the amount they borrowed from the financial institution.

If a person has had late or missed payments in the past, their score will be dragged down. If a person has a good history of meeting their payments on time, and paying off loans in full, then they will have a higher credit score. Some banks automatically decline a loan if an applicant’s score is below a certain number.

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

While we do run credit checks for all customers, we can often approve loans to customers with a poor or bad credit score.

Will You Consider Applications from People with Bad Credit?

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

Emergencies

At some time or another, almost everyone will face an emergency expense that they need to pay immediately. Whether this matter is medical, a home emergency or an overly high utility bill, some things just can’t wait. If you’re faced with a bill or cost that you can’t afford, you can take out a cash loan with us and pay the balance back gradually.

Dental Loans

Visiting the dentist is expensive and, frankly, not very enjoyable! However, it’s a responsibility that no-one should ignore. Don’t let your oral health decline because the bills exceed your budget. Instead, take out a quick personal loan with us and ensure you teeth and mouth are in good health.

Weekend loans

Life can get busy and stressful, so it’s important to occasionally take time out for yourself to relax and have fun. If you can’t remember the last time you did something you enjoy, then you’re probably well overdue! If it’s money matters that are stopping you from enjoying yourself, then why not take out a personal loan with us and let your hair down?

Gap bridging loans

Perhaps you’ve spent months – or even years – saving an intended amount for a big ticket item, only to realise that you’ll need additional extras in order to experience maximum enjoyment from it. For example, you may have been saving for a car, but when you purchase it, the sound system is far from perfect. Reward yourself for your hard work and take out a personal loan to cover the cost of a good stereo.

Wedding loans

Weddings can be expensive, and more often than not, there are many last minute costs that may exceed your planned budget. Rather than compromising on your special day, why not take out a quick personal loan to cover those extra costs, and make your day perfect. To do so, you can take out a personal loan with us and pay the amount back in installments, as you can afford it, and while you bask in your premarital glow.

Car accident loans

Whether you’ve been injured in a car accident, or your car has accrued some damage, both situations will often require a considerable sum of money. Whichever situation you find yourself in from a car accident, a loan from City Finance can help pay the expense, and get either you – or your car – looked after quickly.

FAQs

Is a $2500 loan an unsecured personal loan?

Yes, all of our loans are unsecured personal loans. This means that the loan doesn’t require security in order for it to be approved. Our loans are based solely on the lender’s credit score, and our belief in their ability to repay, rather than using the item they are using the loan for as collateral.

Unlike many other loan companies, we don’t charge an early repayment fee. In fact, we pride ourselves on having no hidden fees or charges. You can find our loan term and all of our fees set out clearly here. You will also receive a loan contract that has all the terms and fees set out clearly, you’ll need to review and sign this contract before the unsecured loan has final approval.

At City Finance our loan terms are very flexible. We can tailor the loan amount to suit you, as well as the length of the loan and the frequency of loan repayments. You can choose to either make weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments.

Yes, we have a loan calculator which you can access here. You can adjust the loan amount and loan terms to calculate an estimated repayment amount. This amount is inclusive of interest rates and monthly fees.

The amount of times it takes for the funds to be received will depend on your personal circumstances, as well as your bank’s processing times. However, we pride ourselves on approving all of our loan applications quickly, and many of our customers received money in their bank account on the same day that they applied for the unsecured personal loan.
Consider whether you need the full $2,500 or if a $1,500 or $2,000 loan better suits your planned expense. Smaller loans mean lower total fees and faster payoff.
Absolutely. We use encrypted channels and multi‑factor verification to protect your data from application to funding.

Contact us, and our team will work to align your repayment date with your next pay or benefit cycle, keeping your 2500 loan today manageable.
