How does borrowing from Swoosh Finance work?
Prospective applicants can apply for a loan from Swoosh Finance online and find out if they've been conditionally approved within 60 minutes if they apply during business hours. Once a contract is signed, funds will be transferred directly to the applicant in as little as one hour. Depending on the customer's bank, this process could take between 24-48 hours.
Swoosh Finance offers terms of 1 year with repayments tailored to an individual's financial situation. Customer repayments are automatically debited directly from a nominated bank account according to a loan schedule as agreed upon by Swoosh and the approved applicant.Keep reading to see a breakdown of costs and other features offered by Swoosh Finance.
Features of a Personal Loan from Swoosh Finance
Swoosh Finance offers various features with its loans, including:- Application.Customers can apply online and complete the application in some instances within five minutes, provided they have the right information to hand. Swoosh uses BankStatements.com.au to securely retrieve the last 90 days of an applicant's statement history in order to process their application.
- Turnaround time. Swoosh Finance can usually have a loan approved and sent to their customers on the same day, depending on who they bank with. Applications made on weekends, public holidays or later in the day will see a loan processed on the following business day.
- Repayments.Repayments will be direct debited from a nominated bank account automatically on the agreed upon dates.
- Longer repayment period. Swoosh Finance offers terms up to 1 year on its loans, which is considerably longer than many other payday lenders.
What are the risks of personal loans?
- Unaffordable repayments. Consider the size of the regular repayments and ensure the loan is able to be repaid during the loan term. If not, extra fees apply to extend it. Be careful, since repayment periods for these kinds of loans tend to be shorter than regular loans.
- Multiple applications. Every loan application shows up on credit reports. While lenders might not consider credit history, several applications within a short period can have a negative impact on your credit score moving forward.
- Check rates and fees. Establishment and monthly fees are capped, so be wary of lenders quoting prices beyond the legal maximum amounts. Be crystal clear on what will be charged for late payments or a default on the loan. The total cost of the loan matters here - lenders can charge interest rates on top of everything else.
- Long-term repercussions and legal issues. Once the loan agreement is signed, the customer is bound to its conditions until the loan and any associated rates and fees have been paid. Typically these loans are unsecured, which means that the lender can initiate legal proceedings against the customer if they can't repay.
How much will the loan cost?
Understanding the cost of any financial product, both what you will pay in fees and interest and what you might pay if you are late with your repayments, is important. The fees for this loan are as follows:
Mandatory fees and charges:
- Establishment fee: $416
- Annual Percentage Rate (APR): 47% p.a.
Applicable fees and charges:
