It can be expensive to borrow small amounts of money and borrowing may not solve your money problems.
Check your options before you borrow:

How does a loan from Action Cash Loans?
You can apply online by filling out an enquiry form, and a representative will get in contact with you by phone. You can also apply by visiting a branch or calling Action Cash Loans directly. If your application is approved, your loan can be funded within 24 hours. Repayments are made directly from your account on your next payday or the payday that you nominate.
Features of a loan from Action Cash Loans
Some of the features on offer include:
- Application options. You can apply online by submitting an enquiry, apply directly over the phone or by visiting an Action Cash branch.
- Fast turnaround. You can apply online and you’ll usually be informed of the outcome on the same day. If approved, you’ll receive your funds within 24 hours.
- Loan choices. There are both secured and unsecured loan options available, making them suitable for a range of borrowers.
- Loan amount and terms. You can borrow between $500 and $5,000 for terms between 6-12 months.
- Repayments. Your repayments are deducted automatically out of your nominated account on the day you receive your pay.
What are the risks of payday loans?
- Unaffordable repayments. Payday loans are an expensive way to borrow money and should only be used as a last resort. Check the size of each repayment and ensure you will be able to pay it on time. Unaffordable repayments can lead to late fees that will only make things worse.
- High rates and fees. Rates and fees on payday loans are high but there are rules in place so be sure to check your lender is not charging you more than ASIC allows. Also, look at what you would be charged if you are late on a payment or if you default on the loan altogether.
- Unreputable lenders. All Australian lenders should be accredited by ASIC. Check for a credit licence on the ASIC Register and ensure that the lender is easily contactable.
- Impact on credit score. Every loan application shows up on credit reports. While lenders might not consider credit history, applying for lots of loans within a short period can have a negative impact on your credit score in the future.
Here’s how you can apply
You have a few options for how you can submit your application. You can make an online enquiry to have a member of the Action Cash Loans team contact you, or you can call or visit a branch directly to apply. Visit the Action Cash Loans website to find branch locations.
