How does a loan from MoneyMe work?
MoneyMe offer loans of between $500 and $50,000. Loan terms range between 1 to 2 months to up to 5 years for loans up to $50,000. It obtains an applicant's banking history from the banks using secure Bank Vision technology, meaning that they don’t have to supply the statements themselves. The application process is usually straightforward and repayments are structured around when a customer gets paid.
Features and benefits
- Simple application. MoneyMe uses Bank Vision technology that securely obtains 90 days worth of their applicant's bank statements so they don’t have to supply them. Applications should only take around five minutes to complete.
- Quick funding. Once approved for a loan, borrowers have instant access to funds.
- Virtual card. Borrowers for MoneyMe lines of credit up to $10,000 are offered a MoneyMe Freestyle Virtual Credit Account through which they can receive instant loans. Card holders can shop online via Apple Pay and Google Pay, or in-store via Tap n Pay on their phone. If borrowers would prefer cash in their personal bank account, they can transfer funds from the card to their account. Transferring funds takes one-four hours to major banks, and up to one business day to smaller banks.
- Direct debit. MoneyMe will direct debit repayments from the customer's nominated bank account on the agreed upon days, which usually coincide with the applicant's salary. It will send customers a reminder of when their repayments are due and will not charge direct debit fees.
- Member area. If an existing customer chooses to apply with MoneyMe again, and they made all their repayments on time with their first loan, it will be easier to apply a second time around, and they may be approved for a higher loan amount. Customers will also be rewarded if they recommend MoneyMe to their friends.
- Early repayments. MoneyMe will not charge customers or penalise them for making early repayments.

Things to consider
Before applying for any loan prospective applicants should consider their own financial needs and situation and whether they will be able to repay the loan. This is especially true with a short term loan as the interest rate tends to be higher than with other personal loans. These type of loans should not be considered as solutions to longer term financial problems, but rather as a short term cover until they next get paid. Depending on the intended purpose of the loan and the applicant's financial situation, they might also want to consider other loan options before applying.
Eligibility
MoneyMe is a short term lender, and as such, it has more flexible lending criteria than with other larger personal lenders. However, it’s important to keep in mind that as a responsible lender, MoneyMe will only approve loans to people who are in a position to be able to pay it back.
To be eligible for a loan, applicants will need to be over 18, an Australian resident, employed and have a "decent" credit history. While their loan amounts range from $500 and $50,000, it will only approve a loan amount that the applicant can comfortably repay. To determine this every customer's income will be taken into account, along with their expected living costs and, for returning borrowers, their MoneyMe trust rating.

Hi, I would like to know if I could get a personal loan. I have a default of $7688 on my credit file that I wish to pay off along with some other small bills. Im employed ( over 16 months ) and earn $80000 pa. I was looking for a loan of $15000. Is this possible with a default?
Hi James,
Thank you for your question.
Generally, it may be difficult to get approved for a personal loan if you have a poor credit score. In most cases, lenders require good to excellent credit but do not lose hope. There are quite a few that will accept applications from people with bad credit, however, this can cost higher interest rates and poorer terms. You may refer to our list of personal loans for bad credit. You may need to prove your capability in paying back the loan since you have a default record. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
are you able to apply for a loan while bankrupt?
Hi Walter,
Thanks for leaving a question on Finder.
Yes, you are able to get a loan if you are a discharged bankrupt or even if you are bankrupt at the moment. You will be more limited in terms of the lenders you have to choose from, and the fees and rates will also be higher on bankrupt loans. You may also be required to attach an asset as security or apply with a guarantor. You may press the link above to compare your option. On the page, you will see a table with a list of lenders who consider bankrupt or discharged bankrupt applicants. You may click the name of those with checkmarks to read further details such as minimum and maximum loan amount, fees, loan term, turnaround time as well as their pros and cons.
As a friendly reminder, please ensure that you read the Product Disclosure Statement or Terms & Conditions before making a decision and consider whether it is right for you.
Cheers,
