Yes, you could. As a lender, there is more risk when an applicant or borrower is in a new job or on probation, but it is possible. Your chances will improve after the probation period has ended, which is generally after 3 months in the new role. If you work contracts, it is also possible to get approved with Rapid Finance. You will need to demonstrate regular income and that the loan is affordable to you. We will work with you to find the right lending product, that suits you. We have a number of lenders on our panel, who will accept applications when the borrower is on probation in a new job.
If your credit score is a concern, don't worry. There are plenty of advantages when getting a loan through a broker like Rapid Finance:
Just a heads-up, while many people find brokers like Rapid Finance really helpful, some brokers might charge fees. And remember, we can't reach out to every lender out there, so make sure to do a little homework on your own before making a decision.
Yes, we will need 2 payslips and or a copy of your Centrelink income statement.
No, it won't. As a broker, when we access your credit file, there will be no record against your credit file. Unlike lenders, where your credit rating may be negatively affected.
After finding a suitable loan product and lender, we will negotiate and present your case to them on your behalf. Only after we obtain a good indication that your application could be successful, subject to final credit checks, will we recommend proceeding. Only then, a credit check may be run by the lender.
There are a few things you can do in the short term. Make sure you do not empty your bank account every pay day. Limit the amount you spend on gambling. Stay in the same job and at the same address if possible. Pay off as many debts, as you can. Review your credit score and make sure everything is correct. You can check your credit score for free, with Rapid Finance. Most importantly, be as honest as possible in your application with us. We can't guarantee an approval on your application by following these steps, but these are some of the most common issues we come across.
No, you don't. However, there are some advantages to providing security against your loan. You are more likely to get approved, for a larger amount and at a better interest rate. This is due to their being less risk for the lender. Some common items of security include your car or your home.

No, that's not a good idea. Making multiple applications with lenders, will put multiple credit enquiries against your credit file. This may negatively affect your credit score.
