I have a bad credit history, can I still apply for a loan?
Yes, you can! At Finance One, we specialise in giving those with poor credit history an opportunity to take back control of their lives and start again. To do this, we focus on bank statements rather than your credit rating to give you a fair opportunity.
Can I apply for a loan if my income is Centrelink benefits?
Yes! Finance One will consider applicants who receive any of the following:
- Family Tax A & B
- Parenting Payment
- Carer Payment
- Aged Pension
- Disability Pension
- Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Service Pension/Partner Service Pension

What can your bad credit loans be used for?
Our fast-approved credit loans are for those looking to restore some balance in their life and acquire necessary assets. This includes vehicles (from cars to caravans) and work equipment.
Can I make extra repayments, increase my repayments or pay my bad credit loan out early?
Absolutely. If you’re able to make extra repayments or increase them, then we encourage you to do so. However, it’s important to note that our bad credit business and personal loans do have an early payout fee.
We recommend you review your loan terms or contact us to confirm if an early payout fee applies to your loan.
