24-hour fast car loans are possible. Here's how:

Getting a car loan pre-approval can be super-quick when you choose a bank or car loan broker with online application systems.

Why get a car loan pre-approval?

It's a good idea to have a car loan pre-approval before shopping for a car for two main reasons.

  • It stops you going above your budget
  • Simpler negotiating process

You're probably in a hurry to find your new car, so you don't want to waste time on paperwork and sorting out your finance.

How long will my car loan approval take?

To help you get shopping for your car sooner, we've designed a 10-minute mobile pre-approval process. This means you can take advantage of a great deal on car finance without needing to spend time researching bank websites and scanning documents.

You can benefit from a fuss-free pre-approved bank car loan, and you can focus on negotiating the best price on your new car.

You'll usually have a car loan approval answer within 24 hours on a complete application. If there's any further information that the lender needs, your lending manager will contact you straight away. When there's a delay in getting your information, or there's public holidays, a pre-approval can take up to 5 business days at the outside, but most are approved within one or two days.

What do Positive do to get my car loan approved faster?

It's easy to complete your whole car loan application right from your mobile, wherever you are - on the bus, taking a lunch break, in the city or a rural area.

You can complete the application form online, or chat with your personal lending manager via email, SMS or phone.

Once you've submitted your information, your lending manager will contact you with your car loan options. We'll do a 'soft' credit check, and then match you to the most suitable car loan product from an extensive range of bank and non-bank car loan options.

If you're happy with the match, your car loan application will be prepared and submitted through unique technology that puts your application in front of your selected lender immediately.

You should have an update on your fast car loan application within one business day, and your lending manager is always available to clear up any questions you have.

I've found my car, how do I use my pre-approved car loan?

When you find the car, get in touch with us straight away, and your car loan contract will be emailed to you immediately.

Your car loan contract will be marked with the exact places you need to sign, so you won't miss a page by mistake.

Once you complete and return the car loan contract, we'll also need:

  • Evidence of comprehensive car insurance
  • Tax invoice for the car

As soon as these documents are returned, our settlements team will double-check and finalise your car loan for settlement with the lender. Once submitted to the lender, you could get a same day car loan approval (if it's submitted before lunch) or next day approval in most cases.
