Loans between $300 and $2,000 you will pay:
• Establishment fee: a one off fee between 12-20% of the principal amount borrowed.
• Monthly loan fee: 2-4% of the principal amount borrowed that is charged per month for the duration of the loan.
Each loan has the exact cost on the credit contract which is sent out once an application is submitted and approved. You'll always see a clear breakdown of all your fees and repayments before you confirm your loan. You can customise your repayments to suit your needs.
If you have a Small Loan, the payment options range from 2 to 12 months.
The online application will require you to submit a minimum of 3 documents;
Proof of ID – Drivers licence, Passport or ID card
Latest Payslip
The last 90 days of bank statements
We also require any outstanding bills you have to strengthen the application submission. This helps verify your identification and the reason for the loan.
Generally the process is quick and easy so loans are funded the same day of the application. Therefore, the application process is dependent on you! If you successfully submit the application with the required documents, we will transfer the funds on the same day. The sooner we are provided with the required documentation, the quicker we can get it done!
Loans are based upon their own merits, meaning every case is assessed separately. Fair Wealth Australia does not renew small loans or refinancing of the small loan. If an increase of funds is needed then it you must apply for a new loan and the same fees will apply.
