Questions before you consider a small loan.
Answers about CashLift’s launch status, planned costs, assessment, repayments and alternatives.
CashLift is preparing to launch. We are not providing credit or accepting applications. You can join the waitlist for updates.
Can I apply now?
CashLift is preparing to launch. We are not providing credit or accepting applications. Joining the waitlist requests updates; it is not an application, approval or offer.
How much could I receive?
The planned range is $200–$2,000 paid to you, with estimated terms of 4–16 weeks. Availability, amount and terms depend on assessment and the final offer.
What does receiving $1,000 cost?
In the ten-week example on our fees page, you receive $1,000, fees total $320 and scheduled repayments total $1,320 across ten weekly payments of $132. The $200 establishment fee and first $40 monthly fee are included in the $1,240 amount of credit. Two further $40 monthly fees are charged on 1 November and 1 December. Different dates or terms can affect fee counts.
Are approval or funding instant?
No timing is guaranteed. Assessment, verification, any further information, acceptance and funding conditions must be completed. Bank processing also affects receipt. We will not treat a waitlist signup as a loan application.
What checks are involved?
Income, expenses, existing commitments, identity and ability to repay are assessed. Bank statement data requested with consent helps verify your circumstances. See eligibility and assessment. We do not promise approval or no checks.
When and how are repayments made?
Planned repayments are weekly. The first declared payday within 14 days of the Loan Date is used; if unknown or more than 14 days away, the first repayment is seven days after the Loan Date. Your offer will show the actual dates and available repayment method before acceptance.
Can I repay in full early?
There is no early payout fee. Request a payout figure: future monthly fees whose dates have not arrived are not charged if you repay in full first. Establishment and monthly fees already charged remain, and payments already received reduce what is due.
What if I miss a repayment?
The contract will explain any permitted default charges and the consequences of missed payments. Contact us early if you expect difficulty. Asking for hardship assistance does not itself mean you are in default.
What other options should I check?
Consider a biller payment plan, eligible No Interest Loan, Services Australia advance or community assistance. Our alternatives guide explains the limits. Free financial counselling is available through the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007.
Where can I raise a concern?
Use our contact details or complaints process. AFCA is an independent dispute resolution service; its website explains eligibility and how to complain.
