After Needy Money receives a person's application, along with the required supporting documents, they will sends out a confirmation email.

Once the processing is complete, they will receive a call informing them of the outcome of the application.
Next, successful applicants receive their loan contract outlining the terms of the loan via email - this requires acceptance from the borrower's end before the funds can be transferred. After someone accepts the contract’s terms and conditions, they get to select how they receive their funds; options include over the counter, by cheque or through electronic transfer. Soon after this the borrower will start making their repayments in line with the terms of their repayment schedule.

Hi Chandrakiran,
Thanks for your comment and I hope you are doing well.
Some lenders consider applicants that are currently bankrupt or are discharged from their bankruptcy. The lenders that are available are more limited and the fees and rates will also be considerably higher on bankrupt loans. You may also be required to attach an asset as security or apply with a guarantor. You can find options for loans for bankrupts using our comparison table. It should help you compare each loan provider.
Lenders like Cash Converters and Swoosh Finance consider applicants under Part IX Debt Agreement. As a friendly reminder, carefully review the eligibility criteria of the loan before applying to increase your chances of approval. Read up on the terms and conditions and product disclosure statement and contact the bank should you need any clarifications about the policy.
Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.
Best,
Nikki

Hi Hammer,
Thanks for your inquiry.
I’m sorry to hear that you have a bad credit history. Looking on the bright side, it’s good to know that you’ve been given a Class A disability pension from ComSuper. With Needy Money Medium Loans, the eligibility requirements include that your primary source of income is not from Centrelink. While it doesn’t say on our page if you can apply for this lender if you are on pension, it would be best to contact them to obtain more information on their list of eligibility requirements.
While your loan options are slimmer when on pension and holding a bad credit history, there are loan options for you and you can refer to our list of pensioner loan providers. Take note that stricter rules and interest rates are higher than normal. As a friendly reminder, review the eligibility criteria of the loan before applying to increase your chances of approval. Read up on the terms and conditions and product disclosure statement and contact the bank should you need any clarifications about the policy.
Hope this was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.
Best,
Nikki
