EXAMPLE: Our Cash Loans incur a 20% Establishment Fee and a 4% monthly fee, based on the amount borrowed. For example, a small loan of $1,000 over 3 months has fees and charges totalling $320 (1 x $200 + 3 x $40), resulting in a total repayment of $1,320. The minimum loan term is 2 months and a maximum of 12 months. An APR (Annual Percentage Rate) does not apply to Cash Loans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal loan?
A personal loan is a form of credit where you borrow a specific amount of money to pay for something you need cash for and then repay the debt back with fees in equal repayments over an agreed fixed term.
What's the difference between a personal loan and a fast cash loan?
Our personal loans at Cash Train are for borrowing amounts from $2,001 up to $4,600 whereas our fast cash loans are for amounts ranging from $200 to $2,000.
How is a personal loan calculated?
At Cash Train, our personal loans up to $4,600 incur a $400 establishment fee and interest at an annual cost rate of 45%.
What is a personal loan interest rate?
A personal loan interest rate is a rate of interest that is charged to the borrower, usually an annual percentage of the loan outstanding.
What's the difference between a fixed rate and a variable interest rate?
A fixed interest rate remains the same throughout the loan term, whereas a variable interest rate can fluctuate over time based on changes in market conditions or benchmark rates. For this reason, variable rates may offer a lower interest rate initially but can make it more difficult to predict your monthly repayments.
How do secured loans and unsecured personal loans work?
A secured loan requires collateral, such as a home or a car, which the lender can seize if the borrower defaults. On the other hand, an unsecured personal loan doesn't require collateral but relies solely on the borrower's creditworthiness.
An unsecured personal loan is often preferred because it doesn't put assets at risk and provides more flexibility and peace of mind for borrowers. An unsecured loan will also typically involve a quicker application process, making it a more accessible option for those seeking immediate financial assistance.
Can I get a personal loan if I am self-employed?
Yes, all we need is proof of ID, proof of income and bank transaction history.
Do I need a good credit score to apply for a personal loan?
Not necessarily, at Cash Train we strive to assess every applicant's suitability for a personal loan on a case-by-case basis rather than by their credit situation alone. While not every applicant will be eligible for a personal loan, our team takes every measure to assess loan applications based on their overall financial position and individual circumstances.
How do I pay off my loan?
Check out our personal loans costs to make sure you understand what you will have to repay. Your loan repayments will be set up automatically via direct debit with the funds digitally transferred to us from your bank account on the agreed repayment dates.
If you think you may run into difficulty with your loan repayments, contact our friendly team. It may be possible to reschedule your repayments.
