Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply?

You must be an Australian resident over 18 and currently working.

What if I don’t have a good credit history?

Credit history tells us one side of your financial position. We will assess your application, even if you may not have a good credit history, so that we can review your financial position and application with other relevant information to come to a decision on your application.

What if my income is from Centrelink?

As part of our responsible lending practice, we do not provide My OzMoney loans to people whose incomes are solely from Centrelink.

What documents do I need to apply for a My OzMoney loan?

You are required to send us a copy of your bank statements that show your income and day-to-day expenses in last 90 days. If we are not able to verify your income on your bank statements, we may request for two most recent payslips (in which case, we will let you know).

I’ve just paid off my last loan with MyOzMoney. How long do I have to submit a new application?

You can apply for a new MyOzMoney loan straight away. We review all applications according to our lending criteria and responsible lending practice.

How does the application process work?

Our applications are 100% online and paperless. Simply select the credit product that best suits your needs and complete our easy 3-5 minute application.

You will be asked to submit your bank statements online in your application via a safe and secure portal powered by illion Open Data Solutions.

My application is “conditionally pre-approved”. What does this mean?

This means that we have received the necessary basic information in your application and one of our credit analysts will shortly review your application to finalise the outcome on your application.

Will you be contacting my work?

If we need to contact your work to verify your income or employment, we will ask you for permission first.

Can I apply for a loan over the phone or in a shop?

We are 100% online and take applications online only – however, our application is simple and straight-forward to do so it’s easy to apply for a MyOzMoney loan from your mobile, desktop or tablet.

Do you conduct credit history checks?

To ensure we do not provide a loan that is not unsuitable to you, we carry out a credit check as part of our credit assessment. A credit report provides us with some information about your financial position and we will make a decision on your application by assessing all other information you provide us with.

How soon after my last loan can I get another loan?

If you have paid off your MyOzMoney loan in full, you can apply for a new loan straight away. We will review your new application based on our lending criteria.

Why was my application declined?

We are big on responding lending. We look at a number of factors when making responsible lending decisions, including your bank statements, your income and financial commitments and your credit report.

If your circumstances have improved, we would be more than happy to reconsider your application.

How long does it take to receive an application decision?

Applications submitted during business hours will have an outcome on the same day. If approved outside of business hours, the application will be reviewed the following day. To see our operating hours, click here.

How is money transferred and how long does it take?

Once approved, your money is transferred directly to your bank account. Transfer times vary depending on which bank you’re with.

The following transfer times are indicative and provided for your convenience only. If you require exact times, please contact your bank directly.

Why do you ask for my bank statements?

We are required by law to make an assessment that a loan contract is not unsuitable to you.

At MyOzMoney, we obtain a copy of your most recent bank statements to make a credit assessment. We may subsequently obtain bank statements on an ongoing basis for the purposes of ongoing account management, including if you are in default.

We look at your recent bank statements through our trusted partner, illion Open Data Solutions - the same technology used by a number of big banks and online companies. This means you can avoid all the messy and time-consuming admin of getting your bank statements and pay slips to us.

It is not possible for anyone at MyOzMoney to see or access your online banking password.

Why do you ask for my online banking details?

It’s the fastest and easiest way for us to process your loan application. We obtain read-only snapshots of your transaction history and cannot access your details in any way.

All data is securely handled in accordance with data protection laws and our privacy policy.

Who sees my online banking login details?

We are only permitted read-only access, so will only ever be able to view the recent transactions on your account – nothing more. No person can access your online banking password.

What happens to my online banking details after I input them on your website?

Your bank details are encrypted in transit and stored securely by illion Open Data Solutions. We do not have the ability to change any of your banking details or access any of your personal information. Complete illion Open Data Solutions terms and conditions are available here.

How do I make my repayments?

To make things easier for you, your repayments will be set up as direct debits on your bank account nominated by you in the application. We will automatically process the direct debits on the dates, unless you have already contacted us to change the date.

What happens if I can’t make my scheduled direct debit?

Speak to us! We can change the date of your direct debit scheduled with one business day notice prior. Please note there may be a late fee associated with postponing your direct debit. For more information, go to Costs.

What happens if I have overdue payments?

Each time your account is not up to date by the end of the last day of the month you will be charged a $15.00 overdue account fee.

If you are struggling with your repayments, speak to us so that we can understand your situation and try to come to an arrangement that is more suitable.

What happens if my payments become seriously overdue?

Contact us to make more suitable payment arrangements.

What can I do if I am facing hardship?

When will MoneyMe contact me by telephone?

We will only call you if we need to, for instance, to confirm your application with My OzMoney, to follow up on your application or if you missed a payment and we need to speak to you.
