Hi, I have been approved for a payday loan.
I bank with Westpac, My approval email was sent to me at 6.30pm on Friday, Could you tell me if the money possibly go through to my account over the weekend or would I have to wait until banks open on Monday.. thanks
Hi Colleen,
Thanks for your question.
On the CashTrain website it states that “Once you’ve been approved for your payday loan, we will electronically transfer the money to your bank account on the same day. If you bank with one of the big four, the loan will normally be available on the same day – often within hours. Otherwise, the funds normally hit your account the following morning.”
Cheers,
Shirley

Hi Ali,

Cash Train doesn’t approve or send money for loans on the weekends, and is only able to process loans Monday to Friday.
