Responsible lending
As a reputable direct lender in Australia, we always practise responsible and trustworthy lending — because it’s the right thing to do.
As responsible lenders, we’ll only approve your application if we believe you have the ability to repay the loan. And unlike other digital lenders, we utilise professional (human!) assessors to review and approve all loan applications.
Check out our blog to have confusing Loan Terminology explained. You can also check out the FAQs at the bottom of this page or find even more answers to questions about our loans.
Cash Loan FAQ
What do you need for a cash loan?
You need to be able to provide us with current bank statements, two forms of ID, as well as employment payslips.
Where can I get a same day cash loan?
Are you thinking, “but I need a cash loan today!”? If you apply online with Swoosh, in most cases you can get your money on the very same day. Our assessors aim to review your application within minutes and send an approval within one business hour assuming all the correct information has been provided. It’s free to apply and, as responsible lenders, we will only ever approve your loan application if we believe you can make the repayments.
Can I get a cash loan without a bank account?
No, as the funds are transferred directly into your account you will need a bank account to get a loan.
When will the cash be in my bank account?
At Swoosh, we work hard to make sure the cash is in your account as fast as possible. We’ll direct deposit the cash into your bank account within one business day of your loan approval. Contracts are signed electronically, so there’s no paperwork hassle.
If you return your contract by 3:30pm (AEST) time, your funds will be transferred overnight.
Can I get a cash loan without a credit check?
As a responsible lender, Swoosh does not offer no credit check loans. But because we service both people with bad credit and people with no credit history, this won’t impact most people’s chances of approval.
Are online loans legit?
Online loans are 100% legal. However, as with anything, when looking for online loan providers you need to do your research to make sure you’re choosing a reputable lender. Swoosh has been helping out Aussies with quick cash since 2014 and our team is led by Brent McIntyre who has spent 20 years in the finance industry. Find out more on our About Us page.
How long will it take for my loan to be approved?
Approval of your loan is provided within minutes of you providing the required information (during business hours)*. The decision will arrive promptly – right in your inbox.
