Christmas loan eligibility
Swoosh takes responsible lending seriously. That’s why we have a short list of eligibility requirements for applying for our secured Christmas loans:
Be over the age of 18
Be a permanent resident or valid visa holder of Australia
Have a steady income
Own a vehicle registered in your name
We always make sure to only loan you an amount that we know you can comfortably repay. But if your situation changes and you find yourself struggling to make repayments, it is important to contact our customer service team immediately, so we can assist.
Can I get a Christmas Loan with bad credit?
Yes, Swoosh can approve bad credit Christmas loans! To get you the much-needed cash boost you need over the Christmas season, we look at the ‘here and now’ of your financial situation, assessing everyone on an individual basis.
We offer online cash loans after evaluating recent bank statements and your current ability to repay the loan, not one year ago or some other time in the past. This way we are able to offer a second chance to those who have been affected by bad credit, getting them the cash they need.
Still worried about bad credit? Check out our guide on how to get a loan with bad credit.
