Our experience and knowledge of financial products and lenders is an invaluable resource in getting you a loan.
Many people have applied for a loan and been declined with the answer 'you don't meet the lending criteria'. Often this is the right answer because all lenders have different criteria which are put in place to select the exact customers they want.
This is one of the many advantages of dealing with Fast Personal Loans. We are aware of the lenders criteria and place your details with the broker & lender that best suits your individual circumstances.
In addition, sometimes you may not meet one of the lending criteria by only a small margin, but in other areas you may be very strong. Knowing your individual circumstances and the lenders criteria, enables us to "match" you; on your behalf with the broker/Financier of best fit, turning a potential decline into an approval.
Using Fast Personal Loans increases the chances of you getting your loan approved. and there is no fee for this service...

Once the broker has ALL of the 'supporting documentation' and other information needed, they analyse the information and select the best outcome for you.
The time from having all the information to a 'conditional approval' is generally less than 2 hours. Plus, as a special service, if you get ALL the information they require, within 24 hours, they will give your application "PRIORITY" status.

Many brokers don't care about your credit file, all they care about is getting paid, so they apply a "shotgun" approach to getting you a loan, hoping that someone, anyone, will give you a loan.
In this process, many enquiries are made on your Credit File, leaving long lasting problems that can take years to correct.
At Fast Personal Loans, we know your Credit file is vitally important and very fragile, we protect it as though it was our own and do not in anyway harm or add to it. Check your Credit Score Here.
At Fast Personal Loans, we respect your Credit File.

With your repayments, you can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments which ever works best for you.
With regards to the length of the loan, if you borrow less than $15,000 your loan term can be between 0 and 5 years.
If you are borrowing more than $15,000 your loan term can range from 0 to 7 years.

Brokers do not lend you the money, therefore they do not determine the rate.
They work for you to find which Bank, Credit Union or Finance Company will be lending you their money. As such, the lenders determine the interest rate themselves and let the brokers know what it will be when they give "unconditional" approval for your loan.
It is fair to say however, that our panel have access to the most competitive rates in the market place and can and do negotiate with lenders on your behalf to get the best deal possible.

All lenders operate the same way, lending money based on the assessment of risk.
The rate will be determined by the strength of your application.
Every piece of information earns points giving a total score at the end. For example if you are a home owner you will score more points than someone who is renting, although the person renting will score extra points if they have been at the same address for a long period. The same applies to employment, credit defaults and the list goes on.
All of the information can be verified by the lender, or you may be asked to provide verification, so it is vitally important to provide accurate information.
Conflicting information can result in your loan being declined.
Your broker is there to help as they check all the information before they submit it to the lender.

Repayments will be determined once the loan has been 'unconditionally approved'.

This estimate is an indication only, and will vary depending on your specific circumstances.
