What is a Cash Today Small loan?

At Cash Today we offer a number of different loan types to fit different needs. So what is a small loan exactly?

Those who apply for small loans with us are generally looking to borrow a small amount of money, under $1,000, often as little as $400-500. They need this money paid into their bank account that same day, ideally within the hour, as opposed to days later.

The money is required to pay for something like a bill or service fee, as opposed to making an online purchase and using a buy now pay later solution such as Afterpay or Zip Pay for example.

Alternatively, cash deposited into their bank account could be required for point of sale type payments. An example of this could be paying a mechanic to fix a fault with their car, paying for a new tyre, or paying for repairs to white goods.

Another example is for purchases from individual sellers, such as Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, who do not have the capacity to accept credit card payments. Often purchasing as-new second hand items can be a much smarter financial strategy than purchasing brand new items, but this is of course dependent on item availability.

Someone watching a second-hand marketplace may have to act quickly when an item is listed, and be able to pick up and pay for that item ASAP. The savings from making the purchase this way could mean that the total price of the item including the loan costs is actually less than the price of a brand new item.

In addition, at times credit card or online payments may not be available. Cash payments could be the only option available at times, such as at markets stalls, when vendors are having temporary issues with processing EFTPOS or credit card payments on site, new businesses that have not set up digital payment options yet, or a mobile handyman that does not have portable EFTPOS or credit card facilities.

Whatever your reason for looking into a small loan, there are situations where accessing a sum of cash between $400 and $1,000 can help get you ahead, or help prevent financial hardship. That’s when a Cash Today small loan could be just what you’ve been looking for.

Is a Cash Today small loan right for me if I have an imperfect financial history or bad credit rating?

Our small loans are best for applicants that have a healthy financial history and a good credit rating, because this makes it easier to approve the loan quickly and get funds paid to you as fast as possible. 

If you are looking for the easiest loan to get approved for, with more flexible lending criteria, you may wish to consider one of our Payday Advance loans instead. 

Is a Cash Today small loan right for me if I want to repay my loan as fast as possible?

When you apply for the loan, you can select repayment terms that work best for you. Our small loans are a type of SACC loan that can be repaid over a duration that is between 16 days and 12 months. If you want to repay the loan as quickly as possible, you might opt for a 16 day loan term. 

Is a Cash Today small loan right for me if I want the best possible loan rate?

Our small loans have a set fee structure of a 20% establishment fee and a 4% per month fee based on the loan amount and duration of the loan term. 

If you want a loan with better rates than this, you might wish to consider applying for one of our competitive rate personal loans between $5,000 and $80,000. Access the lowest possible loan rates from our panel of over over 60 lenders with rates as low as 7.24%.

Alternatively, it’s worth noting that you’ll pay less fees on smaller loan amounts, so a $400 loan will come with less fees than a $1,000 loan. This is another way to reduce the overall fees you are paying for your loan.

If you want to understand whether you are able to be approved for a loan, there are a few things to consider.

FAQ: Small Loans Fast from Cash Today

What is the easiest small loan to get approved for?

The easiest small loan to get approved for at Cash Today is a SAAC loan. It is a short-term, fixed-fee loan that is typically for a small amount of money.

They differ from payday loans, as they can be repaid over longer periods of time, as opposed to being repaid within one or more employer pay cycles. Payday loans are designed to help people cover unexpected expenses until their next payday.

Both payday loans and SAAC loans have a quick and simple application process, making them a popular choice for those in need of quick cash.

What is a small personal loan?

A small loan, or a small personal loan, is typically an unsecured loan amount of less than $2000, and the smallest loan amount that we offer is $500. In general, it is repaid in a few smaller repayments split over multiple pay cycles. So, you might choose to take out a loan for a smaller amount when there is an unexpected bill that needs to be paid quickly.

It’s an option when you need a short-term cash injection to help you temporarily until your income is paid. There are simple fixed fees, and you can repay the loan amount more quickly. So, this can sometimes be a better alternative to adding an expense onto your credit card and potentially paying high interest rates.

An example might be that you are an employee who gets paid monthly, and at the end of the month, your expenses have exceeded their budget. A Cash Today cash advance loan could provide a financial buffer to cover expenses until your monthly wages are paid. You can apply from anywhere in Australia, 24/7, and get approved for small loans fast.

How can I borrow a small amount of money fast?

To borrow a small amount of money fast, you can consider applying for a short-term loan, such as a Small Amount Credit Contract (SAAC) loan from Cash Today. These types of loans are designed to provide quick access to funds and typically have a simple and straightforward application process. Additionally, you can explore online lending platforms or peer-to-peer lending services that offer quick approval and funding for small loan amounts.

What is a small cash loan?

A small loan is generally a payday advance loan that is paid quickly, for amounts less than $2000. In other words, it is paid when you need cash in your bank account, and other alternative methods are not feasible. For example, if you are in a situation where you:

1: Can not negotiate a payment plan with a service provider

2: Can not arrange for an extension on a due date

3: Can’t access your savings fast enough.

It may also apply to situations where you need physical cash. In this instance, a credit card cash advance incurring higher interest rates could be out of the question.

Can I get a small personal loan with no credit check?

Have you been looking for small payday loans with no credit check? If you’re concerned your credit rating will prevent you from being approved, be assured that Cash Today makes approval decisions on more than just your credit score. We understand that you are human, and so we take into consideration multiple factors including your regular income and repayment capacity. So, in some cases, we are able to approve small amounts of $500 regardless of your credit history.

Cash Today small loans with bad credit?

You may be able to be approved for a small personal loan with Cash Today regardless of having bad credit. Therefore, if you need same-day approval for a small loan amount of $500 and also require options where repayments are affordable, you might consider a Cash Today loan. If you can show a history of regular income paid into your bank account and meet our other lending criteria, we can still make a positive approval decision.

You will likely not be approved if you have any of the following apply to you:

• You have opened a personal loan in the last 90 days
• You already have more than two or more payday loans under $2000
• Your bank statements in the last 90 days display transactions for online gambling, for example, Sportsbet
• Your bank statements show payments made to collection companies or payment arrears or dishonours in the last 90 days
• Your bank statements show wage advances such as Wagetap, Wagepay, MyPayFast, Beforepay, in the last 90 days
• Bankruptcy

We understand that life doesn’t always go the way you think. A bad credit rating can happen to anyone despite the best of intentions. We are, in some cases, able to offer bad credit small cash loans in Australia. It’s important that you carefully consider the exclusion criteria above and do not apply for a loan when you have a bad credit rating as well as any of the factors listed above.

Small loans are, in certain circumstances, available for Centrelink customers, and you could be approved for small loan amounts by Cash Today. We will carefully consider all forms of income in your application, as well as the small loan amount of $1000. At Cash Today, we pride ourselves on being a responsible lender.

Our team will make approval decisions if we can be confident that repayments for your small payday loan will be affordable for you.

What are small loans?

If you are looking for a small cash loan, you might opt for one of our loan options for amounts of $1000. These can be helpful if you just need a payday advance. An example might be that if you are short on cash, you can repay the amount with your next pay cycle.

These types of short-term loans are most often used for unexpected bills such as a trip to the dentist or a veterinarian bill. They are generally paid off quickly over weeks or months. This means you aren’t being charged interest over 6, 12, or 24 months like a standard personal loan.

Please note that decisions are made based on our criteria for responsible lending.

Alternatives to Payday Loans

A payday loan isn’t always the best option for everyone, and it’s important that you carefully consider your own financial position, fees, and repayment amounts. Ideally, if you can find options without fees, or interest charged – such as with a credit card cash advance – this would be an advantage.

For utilities or services, you may be able to request an extension on the due date, waive late fees, or arrange a payment plan. Another option could be requesting to borrow short-term cash from family or friends and then repay them promptly.

If you’ve ruled out other alternatives, and feel that you are comfortable with both the set fees charged for your loan amount and the repayments, then a payday loan might be something you consider. If you aren’t sure which option is best for you, free and confidential financial counselling is available to you.
