There are times when you may need access to money to cover an expense, whether it’s something unexpected or a cost that’s come up sooner than planned.
Looking for a rent loan because the timing's tight this pay cycle? A Beforepay Pay Advance can lend up to $2,000 to help cover a rent payment when it lands before your pay does.
This works best as a short-term, one-off gap-filler, not an ongoing way to pay rent. If you're finding it hard to make rent most pay cycles, it's worth looking at the bigger picture, whether that's adjusting your budget, talking to your landlord or agent about a payment plan, or getting free, confidential support from the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007 (ndh.org.au).
Every application goes through an affordability check based on your income and regular expenses, so approval isn't guaranteed. See our eligibility page for the full criteria.
Apply online and, once approved, funds can land in your account in as little as 5 minutes for approved customers. Repayments are aligned to your pay cycle. Read more on how it works or the Pay Advance product page. If it's your rental bond you need help with rather than an ongoing rent payment, our bond loan page covers that, including free state government bond schemes worth checking first.
