Funds will generally be transferred within 60 minutes of the loan contract being signed between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm AEST on business days. Clearance times are subject to your bank.

^Your interest rate will be based on a number of factors, including the information you provide and our assessment of your application. We will confirm your actual interest rate in your loan offer document.

**The comparison rates for Large Personal Loans are based on an unsecured loan of $10,000 over a 3 year term and a $195 establishment fee. See our full Fee Statement for fee details.

WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.

^Nimble Rewards is a loyalty program offered to eligible returning customers. Discounts apply to the establishment fee of personal loans only and are automatically applied to the establishment fee of some approved returning customers. The size of your establishment fee discount depends on the amount of your approved loan. Nimble’s AnyTime product is excluded from receiving a discount but counts toward your total number of previous loans for tier calculation. There is a cap of three (3) discounts per customer in each 12 month period (with the first 12 month period commencing on the date a customer’s first loan with a discount is funded, and resets each 12 months from that date).

Standard Nimble lending criteria, fees and responsible lending obligations apply. Discounts do not apply to interest, government charges, or other fees. Rewards cannot be transferred, exchanged for cash, or combined with any other offer unless expressly stated. Customers who have previously breached loan terms may not be eligible. Nimble reserves the right to amend, suspend, or terminate the Nimble Rewards program (including tiers, eligibility criteria, and discounts) at any time without notice and reserves the right not to automatically apply a discount. Any changes will not affect discounts already applied to approved and accepted loans.
