      Are There Risks with These Loans?

      While loans can be helpful in managing unexpected expenses, they also come with some risks. However, Cash Today minimises these risks by offering a pre-qualification process that is obligation-free and does not affect your credit rating.

      Here’s how our process works to reduce risk:

      • Pre-Qualification Check: Before you commit to applying, you’ll complete a pre-qualification check that shows you which loans you qualify for based on your financial profile. This process doesn’t affect your credit score.
      • Review Loan Options: After the pre-qualification, you can review the loan rates, fees, and terms to select the option that suits your needs. You’ll be able to make an informed decision before proceeding with the application.
      • Opt Out Without Risk: If you decide the loan options presented aren’t right for you, you can opt out at this stage without any risk or impact on your credit score.

      This way, you can evaluate your loan options without pressure, and you’re not locked into anything unless you’re comfortable with the terms.

       

       

      FAQs About Quick Loans

       

      What if I have a low credit score?

      Even if your credit score isn’t perfect, you may still qualify for a quick loan. We offer second chance loans for borrowers with less-than-ideal credit histories, giving you an opportunity to rebuild your financial standing.

       

      How fast will I get the money?

      If your application is approved within business hours, the fastest that your funds can be transferred is within an hour. Actual timing depends on your bank’s processing times, but the instant bank transfer will be actioned that same day for approved loans.

       

      Are there any hidden fees?

      No. Our fees are clearly outlined upfront, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. Check out our fee structure for small and personal loans for more details.

       

      Can I repay my loan early?

      Usually yes, but it depends on the lender you’re matched with and their individual policies. Some lenders may allow early repayments without fees, while others may have specific terms. Paying off your loan early could potentially save you on interest, so it’s important to review your loan contract for details regarding early repayment options.

       

      What happens if I miss a payment?

      If you miss a payment, we’ll work with you to find a solution. It’s important to reach out to us as soon as possible so we can help you avoid additional fees or penalties.
