Why get a payday loan?
Being short on cash when an unexpected expense pops up can be a very stressful situation. Online payday loans can help bridge the gap, allowing you to access quick cash when you need it most.
How payday loans work
Whether you’re faced with an unexpected bill or urgent expenses, payday loans can be a quick answer to getting money fast. As a small cash loan, they’re often borrowed on a short-term basis and able to be repaid sooner, meaning you’ll potentially pay less in fees compared to other, larger loans.
At City Finance, we offer payday loans between $500 and $5,000 and you can choose between 12 and 52 weeks for loans under $2000, and between 12 & 104 weeks for loans between $2001 & $5000, as the length of your repayment terms.
ONLINE APPLICATION
To apply for a loan with City Finance, you’ll need to fill in an online application form, which you can find here. The application is simple and you’ll just be required to select the amount you’d like to borrow and the repayment time, as well as fill in some personal information and send proof of identity.
CONFIRMATION
Once we receive the information from you, someone from our team will contact you to confirm your application details. If your application is approved, we’ll send you an email confirming the approval. We’ll also get your bank details so we can send over the money.
FUNDING
Once you’ve been approved, you should receive the money by the end of the day. However, most customers receive the money even sooner. From here you’ll be able to spend the money on what you please – and you will just need to meet the contracted repayments (weekly, fortnightly or monthly).
What can I use a payday loan for?
Payday loans are generally loans for people with bad credit, and can be used for basically anything, but here are some examples of why you may need one.

Even if you’re regularly maintaining your car, problems can happen. If you don’t have the money to cover unplanned expenses, our car repair loans could help you get back on the road faster.
