How Does A No Interest Loan Work?
Posted on April 22nd, 2021 No commentsSometimes there are a few unexpected expenses that can impact on our financial situations, and make things just a little more difficult to deal with. The refrigerator breaking down the same week that the car registration is due could be too much of a financial burden for many individuals. With many credit-providing schemes and dubious loans advertised to the public, there is a simpler way to solve your financial issue if you are applicable.
The No Interest Loan Scheme is provided by the Australian government for individuals and families to have access to safe, affordable credit.
No interest loans are designed to assist people in getting back on a more stable footing financially, allowing them to borrow up to $1,500 to pay for essentials. The term for this loan is between 12 and 18 months, with no credit checks, interest, fees or charges. Repayments for no interest loans are affordable as you are only paying for what is borrowed.
To receive a no interest loan, you must:
- Have a Health Care Card, a Pensioner Concession Card or an income less than $45,000
- Have lived at your current address for more than 3 months
- Show that you can repay the loan.
There are only a couple of steps that need to be completed to apply for a no interest loan under the scheme. A meeting must be arranged with a NILS provider through a telephone or website enquiry, in which you will be interviewed and helped through the application process. Then they will assess your eligibility and present you with an outcome. Loan assessments generally take between 45 and 90 minute, with the loans being approved within 2 days. If all paperwork is provided on the day, it can sometimes be same-day approval.
No interest loans can only be used for essentials. These can include:
- Household items, like a fridge, washing machine, computer or furniture
- Educational materials e.g. tablet or textbooks
- Some medical and dental services
- Car repairs and tyres
