⚠️ Warning about Borrowing

payday-warningDo you really need a loan today?*

It can be expensive to borrow small amounts of money and borrowing may not solve your money problems.

Check your options before you borrow:

  • For information about other options for managing bills and debts, ring 1800 007 007 from anywhere in Australia to talk to a free and independent financial counsellor
  • Talk to your electricity, gas, phone or water provider to see if you can work out a payment plan
  • If you are on government benefits, ask if you can receive an advance from Centrelink: Phone: 13 17 94

The Government's MoneySmart website shows you how small amount loans work and suggests other options that may help you.

How does a ClearCash Loan work?

ClearCash loans range between $500 and $3,000. The loan terms vary between 4 to 12 months. Applicants can apply for a loan online and must meet the eligibility requirements. If approved, customers can receive funds within one hour of accepting the contract.

Borrowers are required to make repayments weekly, fortnightly or monthly, which are debited directly from the nominated account. Borrowers will also be charged an APR of 47.8% APR. As an ongoing line of credit, it will remain open until it's repaid and the borrower asks for it to be closed.

Features of a ClearCash Loan

  • Loan amount. Credit limits range between $500 and $3,000.
  • Top-up or redraw. Customers can log in to the member's area to see if they are eligible to increase their credit limit or top-up their cash.
  • Fees. Applicants will be charged an interest rate of 47.8% APR and the other fees and charges depend on the frequency of their repayments. They will receive a full fee statement as part of their loan contract. Applicants need to read this carefully and ensure they can afford it before signing anything.
  • Repayments. Repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly and are debited directly from their account automatically. Customers will receive repayment reminders three days before so they know the money will be coming out.
  • Turnaround. Borrowers can apply online in a few minutes and find out if they are approved soon after. After they accept their contract, their credit limit can be made available to them within the hour.

      Hi Angelene,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      Yes, you may still be eligible to apply for this. One of the eligibility criteria is receiving government benefits like Centrelink. If you’re interested in applying for a loan from ClearCash, the first step is checking you meet the eligibility criteria. Then you can submit your application form online.

      If you’d like to get in contact with ClearCash to discuss your account or a new loan, you can find their phone number conveniently located in the top right-hand corner of their official website.

      Receiving Centrelink payments doesn’t cut off your access to credit. See our guide to discover your Centrelink loan options. You can click the name of the lender to be redirected to our review page and learn more about the lender’s loan offer, rates, and requirements as well as the pros and cons of using their loan service. When you are ready, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the lender’s website where you can proceed with the application or get in touch with their representatives for further inquiries you may have.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.

      I hope this helps.

      Have a great day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

When you are ready, you may then click on the “Go to site” button if available and you will be redirected to the lender’s website where you can proceed with the application or get in touch with their representatives for further inquiries you may have.

      Hi Josh,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      Generally, Centrelink payment is accepted but 50% or more of your income must come from employment & be over 18. Should you need an additional option you may want to consider checking specialised loans for Centrelink recipients.

      I hope this information has helped.

      Cheers,
      Harold
