We are a responsible lender
Cash Converters practices responsible lending to ensure our customers receive the financial help that they need for their financial circumstances.
We're here to help make sure your Personal Loan is right for you. We closely look at the information you have provided in your application as well as enquire about why you need the cash loan, how much you need to borrow and if you have any other existing debt. In addition, we'll need you to provide proof of ID, proof of address and proof of your income and expenses.
If approved, it's importatnt to know exactly where you stand with your loan repayments. We keep the loan and repayment structure nice and clear by explaining exactly what you have to pay and by when.
Unlike most lenders, Cash Converters bear the entire risk associated with our Personal Loans. This means customers do not provide any form of security.
Our model works to make sure our customers have capacity to repay their loans.
