About ClearLoans

ClearLoans - Comparison Rate 43%

Decisions made by real people

ClearLoans doesn't just let computers decide if you can have a guarantor loan. The most important thing is that you have a friend or family member who trusts you enough to guarantee to make repayments if you don't, and that you can afford to repay the loan.

No Fees or Charges

ClearLoans doesn't charge fees for applying for a loan, paying your loan off early or making a late payment. The only thing you pay is the interest agreed before the loan is paid out.

A cheaper way to borrow

Our guarantor loans are around 30th of the interest rate of a payday loan and are regularly featured by price comparison sites as one of the cheapest options for anyone borrowing $3,000 - $15,000 with a low credit score.

Paying off your guarantor loan

We've thought of as many ways as possible for you to repay your guarantor loan. Regular payments are made by Direct Debit, but you can also pay by card over the phone during office hours. Interest is calculated daily so you only pay for the time you have the loan. If you pay the loan off early, you pay less than the agreed amount, even if you pay just $1 off early, you stop paying interest on that money immediately.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as we're committed to ensuring that our application process is as quick and smooth as possible.

It's always important for us lend responsibly by firstly running the right checks, as our priority is to make sure that the loan would be suitable for you and your guarantor. We never ask more questions than absolutely necessary, and our online process allows our customers to submit their verified information in only a couple of minutes, compared to needing to send us paper documents.

Kind regards,

James@ClearLoans

Hi Paula,

Thanks for getting in touch. At ClearLoans we pride ourselves on being able to help people, even when other people say no. That’s because we never judge people on their credit score alone. Instead, we believe in lending based on trust.

As part of that trust, we ask that you have a guarantor who trusts you to make the repayments, and who agrees to pay if you don’t, for any reason.

That’ why it's incredibly important as a responsible lender, that we don’t pay out loans we believe may be unsuitable for you or your guarantor. If we do ever make the decision to decline a guarantor's application, this is only done after careful consideration.

Unfortunately, you haven't provided enough information for me to locate your application and investigate what happened further, but I've sent you a private message in case you do wish to provide additional information, or feel free to send us an email to: complaints@clearloans.com.au.

Kind Regards,

Anni@ClearLoans

Extremely easy process

To be honest I was a little sceptic at first . The application seemed too easy to complete and when asked for my bank details I decided to pull out and cancel my application . I read a few reviews and was warned about how hard it is to get through to anyone via phone or email . BUT that was not the case . I emailed my cancellation and was answered by the next morning . At this stage I decided to reapply . I completed the application at 4:00pm (WST) with my guarantor and by 5pm our loan application was approved. By 8pm I received a text to say the money was processed and deposited into our bank. My guarantor checked his account and the money was in by 11pm - 7 hrs later 😁 (also depends on the bank you bank with to how quick it is )
The interest rate is huge yes, but with bad credit we have been rejected many times. Clearloans gave us a second chance :)
I am one happy customer .

Absolute joke!!!

Was told 3 times I was approved and would receive a text to say the money was paid out got emails stating I was approved! to get a phone call at 8:43PM then again at 8:54PM saying I’ve been declined due to not having a security income when I work PART TIME, only haven’t been working as I have had issues with my health and needed the funds to pay for bills medical tests I need to under go and a start for my kids Christmas presents! Absolute joke they guy was not understanding and to judge my application on my husband because he was rejected as my guarantor but found another to guarantor for me but still put him in the progress is ridiculous would not recommend

Hi Tegan,

Thanks for getting in touch.

We're sorry to hear about your concerns because we're passionate about being able to help people and consider their loan applications when they may have already been declined by banks and other major lenders because of their credit score. At ClearLoans, we never judge our borrowers on their credit score. Instead, we believe in lending based on trust and we ask that you have a guarantor who trusts you to make the repayments, and who agrees to pay if you don’t, for any reason.

Our staff are focused on delivering a great customer service to help our customers and to provide honest information as part of our application process. It's always important for us to lend responsibly by firstly running the right checks, as our priority is to make sure that the loan would be suitable for you and your guarantor.

If we do ever make the tough decision to decline a loan application, this is only done after careful consideration. We will always let you know in a respectful way, because we know this news can be frustrating and we will have only ever made this decision if we believed the loan would not be in your best interests and would put you into a worse position.

Unfortunately, you haven't provided enough information for me to locate any application and investigate what happened further, but I've sent you a private message in case you do wish to provide additional information.

Kind regards,

James@ClearLoans

Hi Damien,

Thanks for your review, we're glad to hear that you're a fan of our straightforward application process!

The good news is you only pay interest for the time that your loan is active, which means you are always able to make as many extra payments as you would like, allowing you to make as much of a saving on interest as possible. Additionally, if you ever want to settle your loan early, you can contact us and do this without any extra fees, which gives you complete control over your loan!

Kind regards,

James@ClearLoans
