Cash Advance loans
Our Cash Advance makes it possible for you to walk into a store and walk out with cash in your pocket. A Cash Advance is a small loan between $100 and $2,000 that’s paid back over a short amount of time – usually a 4 to 6 week period.
We only offer Cash Advance loans in-store, so you’ll need to pop by your local Cash Converters and have a chat with our friendly staff to see what’s possible for you.

Fee Disclosures
Our Small Personal Loans incur a 20% Establishment Fee and a 4% monthly fee, based on the amount borrowed. For example, a small loan of $1,000 over 9 months has fees and charges totalling $560 (1 x $200 + 9 x $40), resulting in a total repayment of $1,560. The minimum loan term is 2 months and a maximum of 12 months.
Our Medium Personal Loans incur a $400 establishment fee and interest at an Annual Cost Rate of 48%. For example, a medium loan of $3,000 borrowed over 1 year would equate to a total amount payable of $4,303 (including a $400 establishment fee). The maximum loan term is 24 months for medium amount loans.
Our loans are repayable in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Loans can be settled early with no penalty and fees will only be charged whilst there is an outstanding balance on the loan, hence early settlement will reduce the amount payable on the loan. Loans are subject to assessment criteria and suitability. The maximum annual percentage rates on our loans is 217.95%.
