If you have a loan approved on say 10am Saturday morning. What time would it come in on the Monday. Is it likely to be more morning or afternoon?

Hi Lexie,
Thanks for your question.
This depends on the bank where the funds will be credited. For most major banks, the funds will be available in your account in under an hour from when Wallet Wizard transfers the cash. However, it may also take longer.
Wallet Wizard has a cutoff time of paying out the money for approved loans at 2:30 pm Sydney time. If you missed the cutoff time, you’ll have the money the next business day.
If you are still looking to apply for a fast cash loan, please check the online cash loans featured on our website.
Cheers,
Anndy

I applied and it says I’ve been approved still waiting on money. Unsure what’s going on. I’ve tried calling and nothing

Hi Brodii,
Thanks for your question.
If you are approved before 2.30pm on a business day you will receive your money that same day – usually around two hours, but sometimes up to three. If you are approved on the weekend or after the 2.30pm cut-off time on a business day, you will need to wait until the following business day to receive your funds.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
