Considering a MyPayNow alternative?

When comparing MyPayNow alternatives, it helps to look beyond speed and consider the full product structure. MyPayNow provides Pay Advances of up to $2,000, typically repaid in full on the next payday. MyPayNow charges a fixed 5% setup fee, with interest being applicable. It may suit people looking for extra costs who have the capacity to pay back the full amount quickly.

Beforepay Pay Advance is also designed to help working Aussies handle unexpected or more-than-expected costs, offering up to $2,000† in as little as 5 minutes. However, Beforepay Pay Advances are repaid in up to 4 equal instalments, aligned to your pay cycle. This may be ideal for someone who needs fast funds, but would prefer a longer repayment period. 

Beforepay is built around transparency, with clear fees presented upfront, no hidden costs, and no credit checks. What you see is what you get and what you’ll pay. Additionally, every customer is assessed on their own merits, provided with a personalised limit that takes their financial situation into account. There are no one-size-fits-all limits. 

A good MyPayNow alternative should make it easy to understand what you’ll repay, when you’ll repay it, and whether the product suits your cash flow. Use this page as a starting point, but make sure to check the latest product terms from each provider before making a final decision.
