MoneyMe is an online financial provider that promotes responsible lending. This means that you won’t be approved for a loan you can’t afford to repay. You can choose from 3 product types:
Personal loan. This product is for loan amounts of between $5,000 and $50,000. You will be charged between $395 and $495 as an establishment fee. The interest rates also vary between 9.20% p.a. and 25.20% p.a., and the loan can be repaid over a maximum term of 5 years.
Debt Consolidation Loan. If you have existing debts, consider this loan to merge them all into one, easier to manage loan. Borrow from $2,100 up to $50,000 at a fixed rate between 8.20% p.a. and 24.20% p.a. Your rates will be based on your current credit and debt situation.
What features does MoneyMe offer with its personal loans?
Repayments align with your pay cycle. Loan repayments are lined up with your pay cycle and are automatically direct debited.
Responsible lending. MoneyMe only approves loan amounts that you can afford to repay. Repaying your loan on time helps develop a positive loan rating, which means you benefit from lower rates the next time you borrow from MoneyMe.
Quick turnaround. Loan applications are approved quickly and money is available within a few hours, or within the hour if you bank with CommBank. This may vary if you apply on a weekend or outside business hours.
Flexible terms. Repayment terms are customised to borrowers' budgets and pay cycles. Loans of over $2,100 can be repaid over a maximum of 5 years (1 year for amounts between $2,100 and $5,000).
No paperwork. This application process is paperless, meaning you sign the loan agreement electronically. As part of the verification process, MoneyMe uses illion Open Data Solutions technology for read-only access to your bank statements from the last 90 days.
How you can apply for a personal loan from MoneyMe

MoneyMe’s personal loan products are designed to reward good customers with lower rates and added benefits. However, it’s best to compare your loan options before you apply.
Once you enter your banking details, MoneyMe uses illion Open Data Solutions to safely and securely access read-only versions of your bank statements. It does not have the ability to change any details or access any personal information.
MoneyMe will assign you a score based on its own personalised rating system. This is determined by both your current credit history and also through your borrowing history with MoneyMe. Paying your dues and fees on time may provide you with lower costs with MoneyMe in the future.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
