About ClearLoans

Information provided by various external sources

ClearLoans - Comparison Rate 43%

Decisions made by real people

ClearLoans doesn't just let computers decide if you can have a guarantor loan. The most important thing is that you have a friend or family member who trusts you enough to guarantee to make repayments if you don't, and that you can afford to repay the loan.

No Fees or Charges

ClearLoans doesn't charge fees for applying for a loan, paying your loan off early or making a late payment. The only thing you pay is the interest agreed before the loan is paid out.

A cheaper way to borrow

Our guarantor loans are around 30th of the interest rate of a payday loan and are regularly featured by price comparison sites as one of the cheapest options for anyone borrowing $3,000 - $15,000 with a low credit score.

Paying off your guarantor loan

We've thought of as many ways as possible for you to repay your guarantor loan. Regular payments are made by Direct Debit, but you can also pay by card over the phone during office hours. Interest is calculated daily so you only pay for the time you have the loan. If you pay the loan off early, you pay less than the agreed amount, even if you pay just $1 off early, you stop paying interest on that money immediately.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for this great review!

We always pay the loan funds into the guarantor's bank account, to give to the borrower, as an additional security measure against identity theft. We also pay out the loan funds as a same-day bank transfer because we know our customers are keen to receive the funds as quickly as possible.

We're thrilled to have you on board and hope the funds are with you soon!

Very suspicious of all the positive reviews, beware of this company is their interest rate will gouge you, 43%!!.

Very shady accepting loans to centrelink and Government payments recipients.

Been paying (faithfully) $123 a month for 20 months towards a $3000 dollar loan, was expecting $1500 remaining on my balance, nope, still $2,448 to go, meaning of that $123 dollars, only the $23 goes towards the loan, while the $100 goes straight into the company's pockets. Trust me, get a loan from a bank, its much safer.

In my opinion everything runs fast and smooth the procedure are perfect apart from the automated you sending to your customer before my loan was approved i kept receiving automated meessages that my loan is ready to pay out all i need to do is call to finalise then when i call it hasnt been approved so that means its not ready ti be pay out . Just for improvement i think better no to send your customers false hope and some of yourservice office needs to improve their attitude towards there customer they have to realised that the people who seek help from your company are in alot of distress no one wants to pay 43% interest but when we have bad credit it give us no other option but to bite on your loans uts just dissapointing how they speak towards my guranttor when sye couldnt understand their english

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your review.

Whenever a customer submits an application to us, we do send them personalised messages to keep them in the loop about what the next step is to get their loan paid out, as we're eager to help you get the money you need!

Before we payout any loan, we also speak to every single one of our borrowers and guarantors over the phone. We do this to get to know our customers better, but also to make sure they understand how everything works and confirm they can comfortably afford the repayments. Without a guarantor we wouldn't be able to pay out any loan, so it's important and fair that they are given upfront and clear information about what their role will be.

We only charge interest for the time your loan is active and up to the amount you've agreed to pay. You're free to make as many extra payments as you want or to even settle your loan early without any additional fees, so you have the control over being able to make as much of a saving as possible!

We're glad to hear that the application process was smooth, as we're proud to keep our loans as simple and easy as possible for our customers and to be able to help when other lenders may have said no because of a computerised credit score.

Kind regards,

Kelsey@ClearLoans

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your review.

We understand our customers are keen to get their loans paid out, which is why our application process is designed to be as quick and easy as possible for everyone. It always remains important that we lend responsibly to all of our borrowers and guarantors, which means that we have to run the right checks to confirm that the loan is affordable and in everyone's best interests.

We've taken your feedback on board and will see what we can do to keep improving our service. We're glad to have been able to help you out with this loan where other lenders may have simply said no because of a computerised credit score.

Kind regards,

Kelsey @ ClearLoans
