Is a Small Cash Loan Right For You?

At East Bay Finance, we frequently receive applications from people seeking to borrow small amounts, typically ranging from $500 to $1000.

These loans can be helpful in managing unexpected expenses. However, it’s important to assess whether a small loan is truly the best option for your financial situation.

Here’s an example: Mary applied for a $750 loan with us because she needed the money quickly and didn’t think she could be approved for more. She was expecting payments of around $75 per week for this loan, based on what she had been charged in the past. Shocking!

When we spoke to Mary we realised she actually needed more money, and she had other small loans which were taking up a significant amount of her budget. She had a credit card of $3,500 with payments of $130 per month ($30 per week), a short-term loan of $2,500 which was $150 per week, and another for $1,000 which was $90 per week.

Without taking any extra time we were able to approve Mary for $10,000 to repay her credit card, two small loans and $3,000 into her pocket. This meant we were able to get the extra money Mary needed, but also her total debt payments per week dropped to $75 per week rather than the $270 she was paying on her other short-term debts that are now paid in full.

Not only that – Mary can increase her payments, make extra payments and even fully settle the loan early without penalty if she likes too!

Why Small Personal Loans Aren’t Always the Answer

If you’re considering a small loan, it’s likely you already have a few financial obligations on your plate.

While small loans can be an immediate solution, they often come with drawbacks. Each small loan might carry an establishment fee, and high-interest rates can quickly add up.

By consolidating your small cash loans into a larger loan, you stand to benefit in several ways:

  • Lower Interest Rate: A larger loan can come with a more favourable interest rate, reducing your overall financial burden.
    Pay Off Other High-
  • Interest Loans: Consolidation allows you to pay off loans with higher interest rates, saving you money in the long run.
  • Save on Monthly Fees: Fewer loans mean fewer fees, providing a more manageable monthly payment plan.
  • Reduce Total Loan Repayments: By consolidating, you can simplify your monthly repayments and potentially lower your total repayments.
  • Breathe Easier: With a single loan, you can alleviate the stress of juggling multiple payments.
  • Access Needed Cash: You’ll still be able to secure the funds you initially needed.

With East Bay Finance, you can borrow $5000 for as little as $55 per week*!

The process is simple: just apply online with our simple 2-minute loan application form, and one of our loan advisors will reach out to assist you from there.

Our minimum loan term is 6 months, giving you ample time to manage your repayments comfortably.

How Much Can I Borrow?

With an unsecured loan through East Bay Finance, you can borrow up to $75,000*.

If you need to borrow more, we also offer secured loans, typically up to $150,000*. However, we can go even higher depending on the value of your security.

Secured loans are a great option if you need a higher borrowing limit, but you need to have an asset like a house or car to use as collateral. The upside is you can potentially get a lower interest rate with a secured loan.

Borrowing a higher amount may actually cost you less than you think – with a maximum loan term of 7 years, we can spread your repayments out over a longer period of time to improve affordability.

Small Loans For Bad Credit

If you have poor credit history, you might be worried about your chances of getting a small loan.

Don’t worry, at East Bay Finance we believe in second chances, which is why we work hard to find positive solutions for all our clients.

With East Bay Finance, people with a bad credit score can still get a loan.

As long as you have enough regular income to cover the loan repayments, we can usually find a good outcome.
