One of the things we found out a long time ago here at Nimble is that every loan is different. In 2018, the average amount we lent was $812 and people used us for a range of things from booking their dream holiday to emergency repairs on their home. Sure, we’ve designed and built smart technology that allows us to quickly and securely analyse your data and decide on your loan suitability, but that doesn’t mean we have forgotten about the people and individuals who use that technology every day. We know each of these people come to us with different needs.
Our customers are the people we have put at the heart of our technology. We know that everyone’s loan purpose is different, everyone has different time frames, and everyone will have different needs for their loan. Short Term Loans are one of those needs.
Borrowing money doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process. In a world where things are constantly popping up, the need to borrow money quickly for a short period of time is ever growing. At Nimble, we understand this and we were born from the idea that Short Term Loans shouldn’t be difficult.
Simply put, a Short Term Loan is a small personal loan that is repaid in a relatively short time frame. It’s relatively easy to apply for a Short Term Loan online - especially with companies like Nimble. It’s secure, speedy, and is designed to put yourneeds first.

Being on Centrelink does not automatically rule you out of eligibility when it comes to applying for a short term cash loan. To be eligible for a Nimble loan, you do need to be working though. If you're dependent on Centrelink benefits, we will review your application to see if a Nimble loan is right for you.

We take many factors into consideration when we assess your loan application, including your current situation, whether you are steadily employed and what other money you owe.
We understand your past may not be who you are today so if you have a black mark on your credit history, we may still be able to help.
