Quick & easy online short-term loan application; we like to make it convenient for our clients

Payday loans are certainly more expensive than traditional loans from banking institutions and credit union but, they are easy to access and are an option for those who are self-employed or have a bad credit history.

We strive to be 100% honest with our customers and have all the details, fees and charges that come along with our loans, readily available. If you take out a short-term loan and change your mind you can simply cancel the loan - repay the entire sum and we will not charge you any penalty fees. We also allow customers to repay early without incurring additional interest or early repayment charges. If you have any problems during the application or repayment phases you are more than welcome to contact us - this can be done by email or by telephone.

Pay Today's minimum requirements

Before applying for a quick loan with Pay Today you should check to see that you meet our minimum requirements. These are: you must be older than 18 years of age, be a resident of NZ, have an income exceeding $400 per week, have a bank account, email and telephone number and be able to provide accurate and verifiable personal details and information.

If you meet these minimum requirements you can then proceed to use our online calculator to help you find out how much your micro-loan will cost you. Remember that we will not be able to loan you an amount that exceeds 30% of your income for a given period - this is a feature that is designed to protect both the borrower and the lender.

How Pay Today's loans work

As part of the application process you must provide us with your personal details, you contact details, your employers information, access to your bank statements for the preceding 90 days, some form of identification to confirm age and identity and we will then go ahead and verify your details. Once we are satisfied that you are who you say you are and that you can afford to repay the loan we will send you an electronic loan agreement.

This agreement contains the details of your payday loan and will specify the repayments schedule we have set up. You will then sign this document electronically using Secured Signing which is an application that allows you to sign legally binding documents online. Once you’ve signed the agreement the loan will usually be paid into your bank account within an hour. 

Customer Reviews & Testimonials

My loan to pay off the last remaining balance on my tuition was paid out the next afternoon. Big thumbs up for the service.

Working predominantly online, I was pleased to find a company that allows such easy applications: I don’t even have to leave my seat! Money was paid out fast too.

The application process was simple enough, five clicks here and there and the loans are approved. The consultant I had was not as helpful as those other people had, but it’s okay, I got my money ...
