Emergencies can strike in a variety of situations and scenarios. When a freak storm destroys the roof of your home, your beloved family pet breaks its leg, or your car’s alternator gives out, a quick emergency loan from Red Tree Finance can help you out of a tight spot.
No matter what the emergency is, you can borrow up to $5,000 quickly and easily with Red Tree Finance. Emergency loans can help pay for:
- Unexpected vet or medical expenses
- Urgent home or car repairs
- Replacement of essential household appliances
- Rental bonds
- Emergency flights and transportation
Our emergency cash loans offer quick and stress-free access to extra funds when you need them most. There’s no need to wait in line at the bank or fill out piles of paperwork, and in most cases, you’ll get the cash you need on the same day.

How our emergency loans work
When you’re in the midst of an emergency and need urgent funds, applying for a loan and waiting for a decision can feel like a nightmare. That’s why Red Tree Finance has made our application process super easy. Plus, you’ll get an answer from us in just two hours, which means less time fretting and more time fixing the emergency.
Speedy, simple applications
Applying for an emergency loan is done 100% online through our secure application form. We’ve timed the process, and it takes less than five minutes!
Another reason Australians trust Red Tree Finance in an emergency is that we only ask for the information required to assess your ability to repay the loan. We don’t ask you any unnecessary personal questions, so there’s no need to gather mountains of documentation to complete your application.
A fair decision in just two hours
Once you’ve sent us your application, a member of our Australian-based loans team will assess it.
That’s right; Red Tree Finance uses real Australians rather than computer algorithms or offshore processing centres to review all loan applications. This enables us to guarantee a fairer outcome that takes into account the individual’s unique circumstances.
Our assessors commit to delivering an answer to all applicants within two hours of receiving the application. If your emergency loan is approved, you’ll have the funds in your bank account within one business day. In fact, for most people, the funds clear within one hour.
Flexible repayment options
Helping Australians avoid financial distress and cope with the emergencies life throws at them is our goal. To make your repayments easier, we offer the flexibility set your loan repayments with your paydays.
That way, you can choose when to make your repayments – weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Whatever works best for you.
Commitment to responsible lending
At Red Tree Finance, we take lending seriously and are committed to lending responsibly. We have no interest in providing a loan that cannot be repaid. Our Australia-based assessment team takes careful note of each customer’s individual circumstances before recommending a loan amount to ensure we don’t lend customers more than they can afford to repay.
