To be eligible for our lender-finding service, you must:
- Be an Australian or Permanent Resident
- Be receiving a regular income (for at least 90 days)
- Be over 18 years of age
- Have a direct Australian contact number and email address
What do I need to apply?
Pretty much nothing, but make sure you have the following handy to make the process even quicker:

Have a question?
Who can apply?
Anyone can apply! However, you’ll need to meet the following criteria to use our lender-finding service:
- Be over 18 years of age
- Be an Australian citizen or Permanent Resident
- Have a direct Australian contact number and email address
- Have been receiving a regular income for at least 90-days
How long does it take?
We understand that when you need a quick loan, you need it fast. With Lightning Personal Loans, you can get an outcome on your personal loan application in just 60-minutes*!
If I receive Centrelink payments, can I still apply?
Yes, of course! Most of the lenders we work with offer quick loans for people on Centrelink. As long as you can show you can afford your loan repayments while receiving government benefits, there should be little issue with finding you a lender!
Will you do a credit check?
As a lender-finding service, we don’t conduct credit checks ourselves. However, the lenders we work with may or may not conduct a credit check. But don’t fret if you have bad credit! Our partners are inclusive lenders and look at factors other than your credit score to get a better understanding of your ability to repay your loan.
Apply in minutes
Once you have applied, you can sit back and we’ll take care of the rest.
