Personal Loans? A Helps

We offer personal loans ranging from $300 to $5000 — perfect for covering unexpected expenses within a short period of time.

Even if you’ve had prior credit issues, we may still be able to assist. We know that a past credit incident doesn’t necessarily affect your ability to make repayments today — but it can make it difficult to secure a loan of any kind, particularly personal loans. That’s why we’re an alternative lender that provides options for borrowers who need quick cash and may have been shut out of other options.

Importantly, here at HANDOUT, we can get you the cash quickly. If your application for a personal loan is approved, we can transfer the funds to your account within an hour. We understand that if you’re applying for a personal loan, you need cash in a hurry — so we don’t believe there’s any benefit to stretching out the process.

Personal loans (sometimes called unsecured loans) are borrowing products you can take out for virtually any purpose. Their main advantage is that you don’t need to put up any assets as security, such as your car or house.

Unlike credit cards, personal loans give you a set amount of money which you’ll then need to repay with interest in installments, for a specified time period. Loan terms vary by lender, with some requiring you to pay the money back over a few months and others over several years.

Another big difference to credit card borrowing is that after you’ve paid a personal loan debt in full, the loan ends and your account will be closed. If you want to borrow more money, you’d need to apply for another loan.

Personal loans are a straightforward route to getting the cash you need quickly. With our fast, easy, and convenient online application process, getting the money you need has never been easier. So if you need a personal loan, turn to HANDOUT. Apply online now and let us help you today.

FAQs

Need A Helping Hand? A Handout Helps

What do I need to apply? How do I qualify?

In order for your online loan application to be considered, you have to be at least 18 years old. You also need to have a regular income from a full time or part time job. This also includes government benefits and pensions. However, keep in mind that we usually don’t let your income come fully from government benefits or pensions.

HANDOUT is built on responsible lending. You will need to show that you can comfortably pay your repayments. We tend to disapprove loan applications if there is any risk of being placed in a financial pickle as a result of borrowing money from HANDOUT.

Will you do a credit check?

We are responsible lenders. We lend to people with good credit and bad credit ratings, as we focus on your ability to meet your payments, not your past financial situation. So whilst we do check your credit, it plays a small role in our decision making.

We won’t do it without your express consent, which you provide to us when you apply for a HANDOUT Loan. As part of our credit assessment, we may decide that we need to check your credit history, in which case we will make an enquiry on your credit file.

Can I repay my loan early?

We encourage our users to pay off their HANDOUT loans as soon as possible! The quicker you pay your loan, the less you will be charged in monthly account fees. Paying off your loan before its due date will be a positive mark on any future applications.

What is the maximum amount I can borrow?

This all depends on how much you need, your financial history and current financial circumstances.

You can loan between $300-$5,000 (depending upon your ability to repay) using HANDOUT's fast online loans. Rather than paying back the full amount in a single payment, you can repay the balance you borrowed (including the transparent fees) over 2-6 months.

Are you open 24/7?

Yes! We are 100% online and our fast cash application process is available 24/7/365.

How long does the process take?

Our state of the art application is super simple and requires only a few minutes. If all goes well, then your loan amount will be in your account within an hour or two. And just so you know, our fastest ever funded application took ONLY 94 seconds.

Can I still get a loan with poor credit history or bad credit?

At HANDOUT, we feel all Australians should have the ability to have access to the resources they most need. We take the broader context into perspective when certain other lending institutions only check the credit history of an individual when determining if they are ready to obtain any credit with them.

If you apply for a loan with a direct lender like HANDOUT you should know that we take into account a number of factors when deciding if you will be able to meet your repayments. If you have been turned away for payday loans elsewhere, put your hand out for a HANDOUT loan today!

What can I use my HANDOUT loan for?

HANDOUT loans can be used for many purposes. The most common uses include paying for car repairs, furniture, wedding expenses, gifts, vacations, medical expenses, electronics, one off purchases or that amazing show you just can't miss. HANDOUT loans are useful for whenever you need now.
