Cash loans FAQs

What are Adelaide cash loans?

Adelaide Cash loans are essentially cash loans for people located locally. Cash loans are similar to personal loans but tend to be for a smaller amount of money and approved quicker, making them ideal for people who need money fast.

Yes, our Adelaide Cash Loans are unsecured loans, which means that no security of collateral needs to be put forward for the loan. Secured loans differ in the sense that they do require security, and the item that’s used as security can be seized by the financial institution if the borrower misses a repayment.

Are you based in South Australia and aged 21 or older? If so, then the answer is probably yes, you are eligible to apply for a loan. We also require our applicants to have some form of regular income – this can be in the form of Centrelink payments or a salary paying job.

Learn more about Who We Lend To.

At City Finance, the process of applying for a Cash Loan in Adelaide is simple. We don’t need a bunch of different documents; all we require is the following:

  • A copy of your ID
  • 90-day history of bank transactions

Absolutely. Cash Loans Adelaide are actually designed to assist anyone who is living in the state of South Australia. While you do need to be an Australian resident, you don’t need to officially reside in the state of SA. People who have relocated to South Australia from interstate are able to apply and receive a loan online, too.

Cash loans and personal loans are both unsecured loans, meaning that neither requires collateral or security in order to be approved. 

However, cash loans and personal loans offer different loan amounts and have varying repayment times. For example, cash loans are for smaller amounts (we offer between $500 and $5000) and have a slightly shorter repayment time (usually up to a year, though loans over $2001 can be repaid over 2 years). Personal loans, on the other hand, are for a higher amount, have longer repayment terms and can take longer to approve.

Yes, we offer two types of loans – a SAAC loan and a MACC loan – and both have establishment fees. These fees do not need to be paid upfront, but are built into your scheduled repayments. Below is some more information about each type of loan, as well as the establishment fee.

  1. A SACC: With a Small Amount Credit Contract you can borrow between $500 and $2,000. The cost is a 20% upfront establishment fee (split across payments) and monthly fees of 4% for maintenance.
  2. A MACC: A Medium Amount Credit Contract lets you borrow between $2,001 and $5,000. You will be charged a $400 establishment fee (split across payments) and a 48% annual percentage rate. With this option, there are no monthly fees for maintenance.

Most of our customers receive the money in their bank account on the same day that they apply for the loan. Once approved, the transaction will be made instantly, so you may need to factor in how quickly your bank will release the funds. Of course, determining whether you will receive cash on the same day that you apply will depend on your particular circumstances, but our application, approval and funding process moves very quickly.

If you’re looking for a loan, but don’t have a perfect credit rating, you may find it very hard to get approval from traditional lenders. At City Finance, we understand the frustration of being repeatedly rejected by big banks and other lending institutions and do our best to give eligible applicants a second chance at borrowing.
