If you are an existing Personal Finance customer, you could access up to $10,000 with our Line of Credit product and request to redraw from an approved credit limit whenever you need it.* Plus, you can do this as many times as you like, without having to reapply for a new loan.
If you need to access more credit you can apply to increase your approved credit limit.
You can use your Line of Credit for just about anything – bills, home renos, or an unexpected trip to the vet. Best of all you only pay interest on the amount you use, not your entire credit limit.
Meet Phil. Phil was looking for a flexible Line of Credit where he could apply online or at one of his local stores. Phil is eligible for a Line of Credit product with a $10,000 credit limit but wishes to access $1,000.
Phil applies for a Line of Credit through My Loans with a $10,000 credit limit, but he only needs $1,000 right now.
Phil is approved for $10,000. After accepting the loan offer, $1,000 is transferred to his bank account within minutes. The remaining $9,000 is available as credit for future use.
Phil can track and manage repayments for his Line of Credit within My Loans. He decides to request to redraw $3,000 from his available credit. Once approved, funds are transferred to his bank account.

*Subject to eligibility and lending criteria being met, personal circumstances being assessed, and available credit limit. Minimum redraw amount of either $400 or 25% of your credit limit, whichever is lower. For loans between $400 and $2,000, the minimum credit limit increase is $50. For loans over $2,000, the minimum credit limit increase is $250.
A Line of Credit, also known as a credit line, is an approved, pre-set credit limit that you can access when you need it, with the credit limit based on an affordability assessment. This means you will be able to redraw money from your Line of Credit when available up to your credit limit.
Unlike a traditional loan where you receive a lump sum upfront, with a Line of Credit you can withdraw funds, as needed, up to the set limit. Interest is only charged on the amount you borrow, and once repaid, that portion becomes available for redrawing again.
For example, for a $10,000 Line of Credit, you can redraw $1,000 and still have $9,000 available to redraw when you need it. As you pay back the amount that you’ve redrawn it can be redrawn again up to your credit limit, and interest is only charged on the redrawn amount.
To be eligible to apply for a Cash Converters Line of Credit, customers need to be:
1. An Australian Resident
To apply for a Personal Loan, you need to be an Australian resident. Non-resident Australians can apply for a Cash Advance in-store.
2. Over the age of 18
To be eligible to apply for a Cash Loan, you must be over the age of 18 years old.
3. Existing Customer
To be eligible to apply for a Cash Converters Line of Credit, you must be an existing Cash Converters Personal Finance customer.
4. Not currently in bankruptcy or a Part 9 Debt Agreement
If you are currently in a Part 9 Debt Agreement or currently in bankruptcy, we are unable to process your loan application. However, if you have previously been in a Part 9 Debt Agreement which has been successfully discharged, we will assess your application based on your current financial situation.
5. What if I'm receiving Centrelink payments?
If you are receiving Centrelink payments you could still qualify for a Cash Converters loan.
A Line of Credit is from $400 - $10,000. Maximum repayment term of up to 18 or 36 months. The credit limit and repayment term you are eligible for will be based on an affordability assessment.
1. Access to the latest 90 days of your bank account transaction history for the account your income is deposited into (you don't need to print these out, you just need to login to your internet banking when applying online or in-store).
2. A current Income Statement if you receive a Centrelink payment.
Although a good credit score will improve your chances of approval, we understand that people go through rough patches in life. That’s why our loans make getting on with life possible in a lot of circumstances. Even if your credit score isn’t as high as you would like, we can still consider your application and assess it based on your current financial circumstances, as we consider a variety of factors when approving loan applications.
A redraw is simply withdrawing money from your available credit, up to your approved credit limit from your Line of Credit. You can request a redraw as many times as you like. When you request a redraw, we won’t do another credit check, but we will still do eligibility checks to consider any changes to your financial position.
For example, if you are approved for a $10,000 Line of Credit, you can withdraw $1,000 today and have the remaining $9,000 as available credit when you need it.
Here at Cash Converters we are responsible lenders, so when you request a redraw, we undertake eligibility checks to ensure there has been no material change to your financial position. If there are material differences, your redraw request will be referred to an assessor for review. There may be some instances where a redraw is not approved.
No, we will only do a credit check on your initial application. However, on each redraw request we will check to ensure you still meet our redraw eligibility criteria.
Redraw through the My Loans App and access all or part of your available credit limit. Download the My Loans App from your App Store.
Customers can now redraw up to the available credit limit at any time during the contract. The use of the redraw feature is optional and the availability of this redraw feature is subject to internal credit policy (for example, and not limited to, resolved default payments).
The minimum redraw amount is either $400 or 25% of your credit limit (whichever is lower), and up to the maximum of your available credit limit.
No, you won’t be able to redraw more from your credit limit if you are behind on your repayments.
Interest rates up to 48% per annum with no establishment or monthly fees. Only pay interest on the amount(s) you redraw. In the case of a missed repayment default fees apply.
Your Line of Credit repayment is calculated by taking into account the interest rate, the total credit limit available at the beginning of your loan and the maximum repayment term.
For example, if you have a credit limit of $10,000 and redraw $1,000, your repayments for the $1,000 redraw are based on the total credit limit of $10,000 but you are only charged interest on the redrawn amount of $1,000.
So, on a Line of Credit with 48% interest and a $1,000 redraw, you’d pay approximately $242.48 in fortnightly repayments to repay the $1,000 outstanding amount over approximately five fortnights. If you choose to redraw more from your available credit limit at any time your repayments will continue to be approximately $242.48.
If your credit limit is $10,000 and you redraw the full amount, you’d have approximate fortnightly repayments of $242.48 over 36 months. Figures used are for illustrative purposes only.

If you repay your Line of Credit and the balance is zero, but you don’t use it for 3 months, the Line of Credit will automatically close. This means you won’t be able to use the redraw feature anymore. If you need it again, you’ll need to reapply for a Line of Credit.

Our Cash Advance Loans incur a 20% establishment fee and a 4% monthly fee, based on the amount borrowed. For example, a small loan of $100 over 4 weeks has fees and charges totalling $24 (1 x $20 + 1 x $4), resulting in a total repayment of $124. Cash Advance Loans are only available in-store with a minimum loan term of 4 weeks. The minimum term is 4 weeks and a maximum of 20 weeks.
Our Small Personal Loans incur a 20% establishment fee and a 4% monthly fee, based on the amount borrowed. For example, a small loan of $1,000 over 9 months has fees and charges totalling $560 (1 x $200 + 9 x $40), resulting in a total repayment of $1,560. The minimum loan term is 2 months and a maximum of 12 months.
Our Medium Personal Loans incur a $400 establishment fee and interest at 48% per annum. For example, a medium loan of $3,000 repaid by monthly payments over 1 year would equate to a total amount payable of $4,348 (including a $400 establishment fee). The minimum loan term is 4 months and a maximum of 24 months.
Our Line of Credit product does not incur an establishment fee and interest is at 48% per annum. For example, a line of credit of $4,000 repaid by monthly payments over 3 years would equate to a total amount payable of $7,616. The maximum repayment term for a credit limit of up to $2,000 is 18 months; and the maximum repayment term for a credit limit over $2,000 is 36 months. This example has been calculated on a specified credit limit with the assumption that the debtor has drawn down the maximum amount of credit as agreed to under a contract.
Our loans are repayable in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Loans can be settled early with no penalty and fees will only be charged whilst there is an outstanding balance on the loan, hence early settlement will reduce the amount payable on the loan. Loans are subject to assessment criteria and suitability. An APR (Annual Percentage Rate) does not apply to our Cash Advance Loans or Small Personal Loans. The maximum APR on our Medium Personal Loan is 144.02% and the maximum APR on our Line of Credit is 48%. These calculations do not account for potential additional fees and charges, such as default charges, which may be incurred.
