There are things to buy, places to visit, and people to look after. If you’re planning for Christmas but feeling a bit short on cash, we can help make things possible. If you already have a personal loan with us, a loan top up could help you tick off the Christmas wish-list.
Lots of people think that if you have a loan with us, you need to pay it off completely before you can apply for another loan. But that’s not always the case! If you’re in need of some extra cash before the festive season, let’s chat. You could be eligible for a loan top up or even be eligible to take out a second loan.
The best bit? We’re always here to support you and so we offer loan top ups throughout the year, not just at Christmas! Apply online and our friendly team will see how they can help.
We won’t let you get in over your head too. We’re responsible lenders and are committed to making sure your loan fits your personal situation. If you apply for a top up, we will always complete a budget to check if you can afford the repayments.
What is a loan top up?
If you have an existing loan with us, a loan top up could allow you to borrow more money on your existing loan. You’ll get some extra cash to help make your festivities possible, and still only have one loan payment to manage with Instant Finance. Depending on the balance of your existing loan, your payments could increase, stay the same or even decrease!
The amount we can top up your loan is always based on what you can afford, so come prepared with bank statements and proof of income to speed along the process.
How do I qualify for a top up?
To qualify for a loan top up, you will need to have an existing loan with Instant Finance. You can apply online to start the process right now. Once you do, we can start our Responsible Lending assessment. If your circumstances have changed, please let us know!
Instant Finance will look at your ability to afford repayments and your payment conduct with Instant Finance and other lenders.
How do I apply for a top up?
You can apply online or contact your branch.
We do ask for information like: How much do you need? Where do you live? How do we contact you? And how do you earn your income?
We will help you through the process and do everything we can to make this fast, easy, and ensure that you know that full details of what you are applying for.
