A Personal Loan for more room to move

For larger expenses that need more than a Pay Advance, a Beforepay Personal Loan gives you more to borrow and more time to repay.

Borrow up to $5000†

From car repairs to household bills, Personal Loans can help eligible customers cover planned costs that need more than a quick cash boost.

Repay over time

Break your Personal Loan into scheduled repayments over a set term (max. 12 months) so you can manage your funds and plan ahead with more confidence.

See the details upfront

Review your loan amount, repayments, interest and fees before you confirm, so you know what to expect before borrowing and are never left with nasty surprises!

How it works

Create your Beforepay account

Getting started is simple! Create your Beforepay account online or in the app in just a few minutes, then connect the bank account where your main income is paid.

You can also add other bank accounts to give a clearer view of your financial situation, which may help with your eligibility assessment.

Once you’re set up, you can explore loan options and start your Personal Loan application if available.

Submit your application

Tell us how much you’d like to borrow, what the loan is for, and a little more about your finances. This helps us understand whether a Personal Loan may be suitable for you.

To help save time, some details may be pre-filled for you. You can review and update anything before submitting your Personal Loan application.

Step 3 yellow graphic

Review and accept your Personal Loan

If you’re approved, your Personal Loan agreement will be ready to review in the Beforepay app. You’ll be able to see your loan amount, repayments and costs clearly set out.

Take a moment to check the details, then accept your Personal Loan agreement when you’re ready!

Once that’s done, the money will be sent directly to your bank account.

FAQs

Everything you need to know.

What is a Personal Loan?

A Personal Loan is an amount of money borrowed for a longer duration to fund larger, planned expenses that fall outside your budget.

What are Personal Loans used for?

Personal loans are commonly used for larger, future-focused expenses such as home renovations, dental bills, travel, weddings, and more. See our Use Case pages for more.

What’s the difference between Personal Loan and Pay Advance?

Pay Advance is a short-term loan of up to $2,000 designed to handle sudden or higher-than-normal expenses and is repaid in up to 4 instalments aligned to your pay cycle. Personal Loan is a longer-term loan of up to $5,000 designed for future planned expenses, repaid over 1-12 months.

How much does a Personal Loan cost?

The total cost will depend on the amount borrowed and duration of the loan. Personal Loans include a 5% establishment fee and a low interest rate. You’ll always see the total cost before you sign your loan agreement.

Will applying for a Personal Loan affect my credit score?

Beforepay will assess your current financial circumstances to determine loan eligibility but don’t conduct traditional credit checks using a credit bureau. Applying won’t affect your credit score.

Why do you need to know the reason for my loan?

We need to ask the purpose of any Personal Loan to ensure that it complies with the relevant legislation and our lending obligations.

How do I repay a Personal Loan?

Repayments are automatically debited from your primary bank account on the scheduled dates specified in your loan agreement. You will be able to review your repayment dates before you accept the loan. Early repayments can be made within the Personal Loan section of your Beforepay account. There are no early repayment fees.

Applications are typically approved in under 60 seconds, though some applications may require additional review.

† Approved loan amounts are subject to Beforepay’s lending criteria and verification requirements.
