What can I use a Centrelink loan for?
A Centrelink loan can be used for basically anything, but here are some examples of why you may need one.
Car Repairs
Even if you’re regularly maintaining your car, problems can happen. The cost of car parts and mechanics normally runs quite high. If you don’t have a pool of money available to cover the costs and get yourself back on the road in the case of a breakdown, contact us for a car repair loan.
Medical expenses
Even with the great healthcare system that Australia has, there can still be a lot of out-of-pocket expenses that may arise. Think: a deductible for a chiropractor, medications or an ambulance. If you need medical attention and don’t have enough money available, then we can help. Learn more about our loans for medical expenses.
Rental bond
A bond is a huge cost – it’s usually in the thousands of dollars – and can be a frustrating expense on top of all the other expenses moving house costs. Rather than paying it in a lump sum, you could contact us for a small cash loan to cover the rental bond and pay a small amount out of your weekly pay packet at a rate you are more comfortable with. Learn more about our loans for rental bonds.
Furniture or white goods
If you’ve ever looked up rental white goods and furniture you’ll know that they are both extremely expensive. If you can’t afford these things upfront, rather than renting the goods and essentially throwing the money away, you can take a loan with us and own the furniture and white goods. Learn more about our furniture loans.
Unexpected emergency
Unexpected emergencies can arise at any time and you may not have the cash to cover them. At City Finance we understand the urgency of unexpected costs. So, we specialise in getting cash to our customers as quickly as possible so that they can take care of any emergency costs they require. Learn more about our emergency loans.
Vet bills
For most people, their pet is a member of their family. So when he or she gets sick, it’s imperative that they’re taken to the vet to sort out the problem. Vet bills can be very costly and need to be paid before your pet’s condition deteriorates. If you don’t have the money on hand we can sort out a quick, small cash loan for you and your pet. Learn more about our loans for vet bills.
Home renovations
Home renovations can add significant value to your house, but how can you add the value if you don’t have the money for home renos in the first place? Easy! Contact us for a loan and get your tools ready to go. Learn more about our home renovation loans.
Travel loans
Thanks to a certain pandemic, our travel options are limited at the moment. However, we’re still allowed to travel locally (sometimes!). If you need a break and are dying for a holiday but don’t have enough savings then we can help. Learn more about our travel loans.
Dental costs
Smashed your front tooth? Painful root canal? Wisdom teeth coming through? An appointment at the dentist certainly costs a pretty penny, a situation that you may not have enough money on hand. Contact us for a loan and we’ll get you smiling again.
