A loan with a difference: Have access to a credit limit up to $2,025 with DollarsDirect.
If you’re after a small, short-term personal loan, you might want to consider the flexibility on offer from DollarsDirect. If approved you’ll have access to a credit limit up to $2,025. You can use this money for anything you need and you have the flexibility to continue drawing on the loan up to the middle of the loan period.
How does the DollarsDirect Short Term Personal Loan work?
This loan is a line of credit, giving you access to up to $2,025 until midway through the loan term. Most customers will have access to less than the full amount at the beginning of the loan term, and as you make repayments you will be able to access more money throughout the redraw period. The redraw period lasts until midway through your full loan term. You are only able to redraw up to $2,025 in total during the course of your entire loan term.
What are the features being offered?
The DollarsDirect Short Term Loan comes with several features and benefits, including:
- Generous loan term. Standard practise for payday lenders is to offer terms extending up to 30 or 45 days, but DollarsDirect offers loan terms of between and days.
- Refinancing available. If you want to extend your loan, you can apply for refinancing to be approved for another credit limit of $2,025. Just keep in mind you will need to repay the establishment fee, and the amount you owe on your first loan will be subtracted from your new loan.
- Easy online application. The whole application can be completed online within minutes.DollarsDirect is legally required to review three months of your bank account transactions. This can be done automatically through Yodlee, a secure platform that gives DollarsDirect a read-only view of your statements.
- Apply with bad credit. You will be considered for a loan even if you have bad credit, as long as you prove you will be able to afford your repayments.

If i were to get a $2000 loan from here and pay it back before the year is up does that mean I do not pay the 48% pa fee or is it still included?
Hi Sumari,
Thanks for your question.
When you take out a loan you will be charged a $400 establishment fee (that you pay off as part of the loan) and an interest rate that is $48 p.a. As the rate is representative of a yearly rate, if you pay it off before a 12-month term you will not pay the full rate.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
I want to apply for a loan of $2000.00 I have a contract job for 5 years. I am confused as to do I get the full amount initially or is paid in instalment.
Hi Simeon,
Thanks for your question.
You will be given access to a credit limit up to $2,025 that you’ll have full access to the amount you’re approved for, so no, it’s not available in installments. If you don’t withdraw the full amount available to you, you can request additional money later on during the ‘open draw’ period.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
