Sunshine Loans state they don’t carry out credit checks yet in there criteria they say they do?
Hi Duane!
It’s a bit confusing, isn’t it?
Sunshine Loans do a general credit check and are only requiring no major defaults on your credit history. This means, minor defaults which would usually turn you down automatically with other lenders, may be considered.
If you want to know more detailed explanation, you may contact them directly.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
My money did not transfer into my account. I received an email stating my money would be on my account by 2:50 pm WA time and it’s a Friday will my money transfer tonight or on Monday?
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Please note that we are not affiliated with Sunshine Loans or any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
According to Sunshine Loans, as long as your loan is approved and signed during normal business hours, the funds will be in your bank account on the same day during normal business hours. You might receive the funds on Monday if it didn’t come through yesterday.
I suggest contacting Sunshine Loans directly to further inquire.
Best regards,
Rench

Hi,
I’m an international student and have to pay my school tuition but still need $2000 more. My parent can pay the money back in a month. Do you think it’s worth it to take a loan or do you have any suggestions?
Hi Siti,
Thanks for your question.
For international students, the first option for financial aid is their educational institution. Most universities offer grants and scholarships, while other may offer general purpose loans for full fee-paying onshore international students or students with permanent residency. Note that all loans are subject to the university’s student loans policy and are granted at the university’s discretion. To review all your options, consider making an appointment with your educational institution’s student financial assistance officer.
If a student loan is unavailable, you may also consider some of the options listed here.
Cheers,
Anndy
Hi I was approved for a lone today at about 11 but still no funds ?
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your question.
Please note that Sunshine Loans is not a lender but a loan brokerage service so their loan processing time could vary from one lender to another. Some of the lenders will transfer the funds immediately while for others, it could take several hours. That is why we are unable to confirm when the funds will be available in your account.
You may want to directly get in touch with Sunshine Loans to confirm the status of your loan application.
Cheers,
Anndy
Hi. You state no credit checks, but reading further down under 5 features to consider, u then say credit checks will generally be conducted. I’m trying to repair my credit by taking out a small loan without my credit report bring checked. This defeats the purpose all most.
Hi Danny,
Thanks for your comment and honest feedback.
In the case of no credit check loans, bad credit loans are approved using the information you provide in the application. Although these lenders may still check your credit history to help them with their decision, that does not mean that you will not be approved. Generally, lender’s approval will be on a case by case basis and these lenders who offer no credit check loans have more flexible lending criteria than others. Most likely, they will not just depend entirely on your credit history, but rather they will look at your employment, total income or current assets.
Cheers,
May
