What are bond loans?

Bond loans are sums of money borrowed from a lender in order to pay a rental bond. These cash loans are a quick and hassle-free way of getting access to the money you need for the bond on a new house.

Why use a rental bond loan?

Rental bonds are normally up to four weeks’ rent in most states. In VIC, QLD, WA and SA, there are some variations to this. That’s quite a substantial sum. And when you need to secure a rental property in a hurry, a bond loan is an appealing option.
With a rental bond loan from Red Tree Finance, your application can be submitted from anywhere on any device, as it’s 100% online. There’s no need to queue at the bank or gather together mountains of paperwork. All we need is some current bank statements, employment payslips and two forms of ID.
You can get a rental bond loan from Red Tree Finance up to $5,000. You might want to borrow slightly more than your bond amount to help cover some of the other associated costs, like:

Frequently Asked Questions

See All

You will need to be able to provide us with current bank statements, payslips, identification and your vehicle registration details.

With Red Tree Finance, you will receive an answer within two hours of submitting your application and, if approved, in most cases you will receive a direct deposit within one hour of approval but at the latest, funds will clear within one business day.

If your circumstances change and you can no longer make your repayments on time, please reach out to our Customer Care team for support and assistance.

Securing a bond loan and repaying it successfully can actually help to improve your credit score. By making your payments on time, you’ll find that your credit history will gradually improve. If you find that it’s hard to manage multiple debts, it might be a good idea to look into getting a debt consolidation loan, so you only need to make one recurring payment.
