FAQs

Everything you need to know.

Why can I not have two loans at the same time?

We only allow a single active loan at a time to prevent debt and payments stacking up and creating additional financial stress. We want to ensure that our loans are helping working Australians, not harming them. 

Why do you need my driver’s licence, passport, or Medicare card?

To verify your identity, confirm your personal details, and to help keep you and your account secure.

Am I eligible for a Beforepay loan?

You may be eligible for a Beforepay loan if you: 

  • Are an Australian resident aged 18 or older. 
  • Have a current valid Australian driver’s license, passport, or Medicare card. 
  • Maintain employment and receive a wage. 
  • Receive no more than 51% of your total income from Centrelink.
  • Have no other active Beforepay loans.
Can I get a loan if I’m on Centrelink?

Yes, but only if the income from Centrelink doesn’t exceed 51% of your total income. 

Can I get a loan if I am a casual worker?

Yes you can, as long as you receive a regular paycheck and pass all other eligibility requirements.

Can I get a loan if I’m paid irregularly?

No, as a regular income is one of the ways we use to determine loan affordability.
