Apply for an Instant Cash Loan at MeLoan

Instant cash loans should feel clear, not confusing. Our streamlined application only takes 8 minutes. Simply upload the needed documents, and review an offer that spells out the costs and dates before you commit. You don't have to deal with being bounced between companies or lenders, because you'll deal with us from the application up to the repayments.

For applications submitted during business hours, we aim to move quickly on decisions and funding, with timing dependent on your bank’s processing. Never let unexpected bills derail your budget again!

What Instant Loans Are Like at MeLoan

Instant Decisions During Business Hours

When money is time sensitive, waiting days is not an option. Our digital checks run during business hours so you get a quick outcome. We review income, regular expenses and recent account history, then present a clear offer instead of sending you back and forth for more paperwork.

Funding Within Hours After Approval

Speed is built into our process from the start. Once you accept the offer, we trigger the transfer straight away and keep you updated. The aim is to help you cover the urgent cost, steady your week and get back to normal quickly.

Clear Costs Before You Accept

You should know exactly what you are agreeing to. Your offer displays the amount, any fees and every repayment date in one place. You pick the smallest amount that solves the problem and a schedule that fits your pay cycle.

Built for Mobile from Start to Finish

You can start, upload and sign on your phone. The application feels simple even when life is not, and you do not need to visit a branch. Secure uploads and electronic signing keep things moving.

Friendly to Casual and Gig Workers

Income can be steady even when shifts change. We look at recent banking to confirm a pattern, not just a job title. If the schedule fits your budget, we will say so and set dates that work with your pay.

Consideration for Applicants with Bad Credit

A past mistake does not define you. We focus on your current position and whether the repayments are manageable today. If the amount requested looks tight, we may suggest a smaller figure so the plan is realistic.

Instant Cash Loans Eligibility Requirements and Documents

Centrelink income can be considered as part of the overall assessment. A credit enquiry may be recorded with a credit reporting body such as Equifax, Experian or illion.

How to Speed Up the Loan Approval and What Can Slow It Down

Speeding Up the Process


Complete documents - clear ID, recent payslips and full bank statement pages


Name match - the application name matches your bank account name


Business hours - lodge the application and accept the offer during business hours

Detriments to the Speed

Missing files and unreadable images can push the review back a step. Name mismatches between your application and bank account also cause delays. Timing matters as well. Applications lodged after hours, on public holidays or with first time payee holds can take longer to land.

Can I Apply If I Receive Centrelink Income?

Yes. Centrelink income can be considered alongside other income and expenses to confirm a practical schedule.

Can I Be Approved with Casual or Variable Work?

The application for an instant cash loan now requires minimal documentation compared to traditional loans. MeLoan's streamlined assessment process focuses on your current financial situation rather than extensive historical analysis. Important Considerations Before Applying

Can I Repay Early and Does It Reduce the Cost?

Yes. There is no fee for early payout. Where interest or monthly fees apply, they are recalculated to your payout date, which can reduce the total cost.

What If I Cannot Make a Repayment?

Contact us early. Support under the National Credit Code may be available to ease pressure while you get back on track.

Are There Limits on What I Can Use the Loan For?

Use the funds for genuine personal expenses. Avoid borrowing to cover another loan if it increases your total cost, and do not borrow for gambling or illegal purposes.
