Pay On Demand™ with Beforepay

Great question! Beforepay provides an ethical option for accessing short-term loans. Our Pay Advance loans offer transparent pricing - no surprises or hidden costs - so you'll always know what you owe upfront. 

We're also a budgeting app, so we provide you with a personalised budget and spending insights to help you stay on top of your finances.

If you’re still curious, we’ve answered this question in a bit more detail here.

Eligibility is based on your income, pay schedule, employment, and risk assessment criteria. To be eligible, you must be employed with a regular pay schedule, making at least $300 in income after tax each week. (Note: no more than 50% of your income can come from government benefits such as Centrelink.) You also must pass our risk assessment criteria, which is not related to your credit but an analysis of your financial eligibility for Beforepay.

From a technical perspective, your bank account must also be able to process Beforepay deposits and debits, and receive your salary.

For more detail, see our explanation of eligibility criteria here.

The maximum Cash Out amount is currently $2,000. If you’re a new customer, that limit will be between $50 and $1,000 depending on a variety of factors, such as how much you get paid, your debt, and so on. Your Cash Out history and successful repayments also impact your limit, which is recalculated every time you go to cash out to make sure you get the right amount for your current situation. For a more in-depth explanation, see here.

Once you have a loan, there are a variety of ways to pay it back. We help figure out a repayment plan that works for you. You can repay in instalments or all at once if you prefer. If circumstances change, you can delay your repayment, or repay early.

Once you have chosen a repayment schedule, you can sit back and relax since the app uses automatic repayment. However, if you want to make a manual repayment, you can use PayID or Osko to do so with ease.

Absolutely! By Cashing Out, you can access your wage before your payday and pay it back in instalments. We know that your cash flow can change, and you can’t always wait until payday. That’s why Beforepay can give you a cash boost of up to $2,000 in as little as five minutes. We provide instant pay advances to make sure that your money is always available to you, even if your payday is still a little while away.

Beforepay can currently be used with over 70 banks – from ANZ to Westpac and everything in between. Some of the most commonly asked-after banks that we support include CommBank (Commonwealth Bank), Westpac, ING, and Macquarie Bank. Good news – all these banks are compatible with Beforepay!
