Same Day Loans

  • Apply Online by 1pm AEST

  • Funds in your account the same day

What is a same day loan?

A same day loan is a small personal loan designed to provide access to funds as quickly as possible. Submit your application online before 1pm on a standard business day, and if approved, your bank may process the transfer of funds in time to arrive in your account the very same day. It’s less about how fast we assess and more about working within the cut-off windows banks use to settle payments – get your application in early enough, and the rest takes care of itself.
If you’re not chasing a specific same day deadline, our fast loans and weekend loans pages cover approval speed and application simplicity in more detail.

Why get a same day personal loan?

Sometimes, you’ll be hit with expenses that you can’t put off until tomorrow, but aren’t a serious emergency either. It may simply be a deadline that lands today, and it’s times like these when a same day loan really comes in handy. Common reasons to apply might include:

  • Covering upfront costs for home repairs, such as paying a tradie before work begins.
  • An unpaid bill that needs to be settled today to avoid service disconnections or late fees.
  • A deposit on a wedding dress that has to be paid before the close of business.
  • Funds to cover the bond ASAP on a possible new rental property. 

 

Applying for a same day personal loan with Red Tree Finance is easy. Submit your application before 1pm AEST from anywhere, on any device. It’s free to apply, 100% online, and designed to provide an assessment-based decision (and the funds if approved) before the day’s out.

How our same day loans work

Applying for a personal loan with a bank at a branch can sometimes take weeks to process. At Red Tree Finance, we’ve built our same day loan application process around the bank transfer cut-off times; this can determine whether the transfer of funds for an approved loan will clear today or tomorrow. That means the earlier you apply, the more likely your funds will land on the same day.

Local loan assessors

Red Tree Finance doesn’t use offshore processing centres. All loan applications are reviewed right here in Australia by human assessors. So, you know that we’ll give you a fair go based on the information we require you to provide.

No long waits

To offer same day loans to borrowers, our experienced team of loan assessors aims to review your application and provide you with a decision within two hours. This means no long waits, less stress, and quicker access to funds for all Australians.

Pay when you’re paid

Inflexible loan repayment schedules often cause more stress than not having the cash you need in the first place. That’s why we set your repayment schedule to coincide with your payday (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payments) and hopefully take some of the pressure off.

Commitment to responsible lending

At Red Tree Finance, we are 100% committed to responsible lending. That means we’ll never approve you for a loan that we don’t believe you can repay. If you apply and get approved for a same day loan, you can rest assured that your repayments will be affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions

See All

For the best chance of your loan application being assessed and possibly approved on the same day, apply before 1pm AEST on a business day. This provides our local, human assessors with ample time to review your application and also gives your bank or financial institution a sufficient window to process the transfer before their daily cut-off.

Responsible lenders will never be able to provide you with instant cash, as various checks and procedures need to be performed to ensure you can afford the loan repayments. That said, it is possible to apply for a same day loan with Red Tree Finance and receive the funds before the day’s end.

Banks don’t process transfers on weekends or public holidays, so applications submitted on these days are typically assessed the same way but funded on the next business day.

The most common reason is applying after your bank’s daily transfer cut-off, even if your loan was approved well within our two-hour window. Approval speed and bank processing speed are two separate things; we control the first, your bank controls the second.
