Payday Loans for Centrelink Customers FAQs
Can I apply for a payday loan if my income is from Centrelink?
Yes, absolutely! Fundo welcomes applications from customers who receive Centrelink payments. We understand that traditional lenders may be reluctant to approve loans for people who rely on government benefits, but we believe in giving everyone a fair chance at obtaining financial assistance.
As long as you meet our basic eligibility criteria, your Centrelink payments can be considered as part of your regular income. The criteria are simple: you need to be over 18 years old, be living in Australia, and have a minimum income of $1,000 per fortnight (this can include your Centrelink payments). You must also verify your income and show that you can repay the loan without putting yourself in financial hardship.
At Fundo, we look at your overall financial situation rather than just your credit score or where your income comes from. That’s why even if Centrelink is your main source of income, you can still apply for a loan with us. The good news is that our application process is designed to be fast and easy. You can complete it in under five minutes using our online dashboard, and once approved, you could have the funds in your account within 60 seconds from contract approval. To start your application, visit Fundo’s Centrelink loans page.
How do I apply for a payday loan with Fundo as a Centrelink customer?
Applying for a payday loan with Fundo is simple and fast, even if you’re on Centrelink. We’ve developed an efficient, fully online process that allows you to apply for a loan anytime, from anywhere in Australia. Here’s how it works:
First, head over to our online application page, where you’ll be asked to fill out a few key details such as your personal information, income (including your Centrelink benefits), and expenses. You don’t need to worry about submitting endless paperwork; our system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible.
Once you submit your application, we’ll quickly review it to assess your ability to repay the loan comfortably. At Fundo, we don’t rely solely on traditional credit checks, and we’ve created our own scoring system, the Fundo Score, to help us assess your financial situation. This allows us to approve more customers more often, including those with bad credit or those who rely on Centrelink payments.
If your application is approved, you can expect the funds to be in your bank account within 60 seconds if your bank account supports PayID. If not, the funds will arrive within a few hours, depending on your bank. You can borrow between $500 and $5,000, with loans up to $2,000 repayable over a 180-day period, and loans over $2,000 repayable within two years.
What makes Fundo’s payday loans for Centrelink customers different from other lenders?
Fundo stands out from traditional lenders for several reasons. Firstly, we don’t penalise our customers for receiving Centrelink payments or for having a less-than-perfect credit score. Our priority is ensuring that our loans are affordable and won’t cause additional financial stress.
When it comes to payday loans for Centrelink customers, we offer complete transparency. There are no hidden fees, and we clearly outline the repayment terms upfront, so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer flexible repayment schedules to suit your needs, which can be adjusted based on your income cycle.
In terms of loan repayment, we offer two main options: for small loans between $500 and $2,000, you’ll have between 5 to 20 weeks to pay the loan back. For medium loans between $2,001 and $5,000, you’ll have a repayment period between 9 and 26 weeks. This flexibility means you can borrow with peace of mind, knowing that the repayment plan is tailored to your circumstances. You can learn more about our repayment terms by visiting our loan terms page.
Another key benefit of Fundo is our unique Fundo Score. Unlike traditional lenders, we don’t just rely on your credit history to make decisions. Instead, we’ve developed an in-house scoring system that rewards you for responsible borrowing. By making timely repayments, referring friends, or paying off your loan early (with no penalties), you can improve your Fundo Score, which could lead to better rates or higher loan limits in the future.
At Fundo, we are dedicated to providing payday loans that are both accessible and fair for Centrelink customers. Our goal is to help you manage life’s financial hurdles with ease and without the worry of hidden charges or unreasonable repayment terms.

¹As soon as you sign your contract and if all other requirements have been met, we instantly send the funds to your nominated bank account. If your bank works with the New Payments Platform (NPP), most customers see funds in their account within 60 seconds. If your bank is not NPP enabled, or it is a weekend or a public holiday, the funds are usually received by the next business day. Fundo cannot guarantee that loan funds will be received within 60 seconds
²Applying for a loan with Fundo usually takes about 3 minutes. However, this time can change based on a few things, such as your typing speed, the device you're using, and whether you have all the necessary information ready to go.
³As the approval process is influenced by various external factors, we can't guarantee that you'll receive a decision on the same day. However, most of our customers do receive a same-day response to their application with Fundo, if they submit their loan application and all the requested supporting information by 4pm Sydney time during a regular business day.
We typically respond within 2 min or sooner.
