Essentially, we do the searching so you don’t have to! When you apply with MyBorrowing we will find the best loan option to meet your needs. Once we’ve found it, we’ll put you directly in touch with the lender who can offer you the loan you’re looking for.

With MyBorrowing you can apply for short-term loans between $500 and $2,000, secured personal loans between $2,100 and $4,600, or loan term loans from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on your eligibility.

Loan terms can be anywhere between 6 to 36 months, depending on the type of loan and the lender’s specifications.

Once MyBorrowing has reviewed your application we will match you to a suitable lender. Then, you will have to wait for final approval of your application. If successful, the money will be transferred straight into your bank account subject to the lenders protocol.

It’s important you make your repayments on time so you do not incur any extra charges from your lender. Forgetting to repay your loan could lead to defaults being added to your credit score, making it hard to apply for funding in future. When you loan is approved, speak with your lender about setting up a scheduled payment to ensure you meet repayments.

It’s important to pay back a personal loan on time so that you don’t incur extra costs or have any defaults added to your credit record! If a lender approves you for a loan, ask your lender to help you set up a direct debit schedule in line with your income – the amount you need to repay and when you receive your income are important here.

We understand your circumstances may change after taking out a loan. If you are experiencing financial hardship, you should contact your lender immediately, and they may be able to vary your contract.

If you stop making your repayments, you run the risk of having your default listed on your credit file which could have a severe effect on your credit history and stay there for up to 7 years. Your account could be passed on to an external debt collection agency if your circumstances suddenly change, contact your lender and explain your situation to them, they’re usually pretty understanding and will try to help where they can.

You can apply for our lender-finding service at any time. We’ll do our best to find you a lender that is ready to give you a go
