Our Commitment to Responsible Lending

As a regulated short-term lender with a consumer credit licence (ACL 390591), Sure Cash finance is committed to responsible lending. What does this mean?

Every application is individually assessed for affordability under the responsible lending obligations of the NCCP (National Consumer Credit Protection) Act, and approval is never automatic or guaranteed.

In practice, this means that we look at the full financial picture. The income and expenses are reviewed, and we will not approve a loan we assess as unsuitable for the applicant’s circumstances.

As a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA, member 43334), Sure Cash Finance is committed to fair dispute resolution.

If you are experiencing financial hardship, Sure Cash Finance has a hardship policy. If you require hardship assistance, contact our team to discuss your situation.

Our History

Sure Cash Finance was founded, as a family-owned licensed credit provider, in Australia in 2001. As the company grew, we originally operated out of branches in Sydney, Gosford, Wollongong, and Tweed Heads. To fully expand our services Australia-wide, we decided to concentrate on servicing a national customer base from our head office and closed all of our physical locations. Today, applications can only be made online or by phone on 1300 SURECASH (1300 787 322).

What We Offer

We offer three types of loan:

  • Cash Loans – also known as Small Amount Credit Contract (SACC) loans. These loans range from $300 to $2,000.
  • Personal Loans – also known as Medium Amount Credit Contract (MACC) loans. These cover loan amounts from $2,001 to $5,000.
