Many lenders decide on a credit score alone. We look at the full picture instead. Our lending team assesses your real income and what you can afford, and if we can responsibly say yes, we will.¹

When you need cash, waiting days for an answer isn't an option. Our whole process is built for speed - see how it works.

Yes. Cash Stop Financial Services Pty Ltd (ABN 66 091 194 786) holds Australian Credit Licence 389 433, issued by ASIC, and you can check it on ASIC's Professional Register. We lend under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, so every loan must be assessed as suitable and affordable before we offer it. We're also a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA member 45392).
Cash Stop Financial Services Pty Ltd is an Australian company that has traded as Cash Stop since 2000. It has been part of the Commit Co group since 2020, and our lending and customer teams are based in Australia.
Since 2000, when our first store opened in Petersham, NSW. Today we lend online right across Australia, and our five Sydney branches, several of which have served the same communities for more than a decade, are there if you'd rather apply in person.
Tell us first, so we can put it right. You can call our Complaints Officer on (08) 9420 1401, email complaints@commitco.com.au or speak to any of our staff. Making a complaint is free, and we'll work with you to resolve it. See our dispute resolution process for the full details.
We handle your information under the Privacy Act and our Privacy Policy. The policy explains what we collect, why we need it, who we may share it with and how you can access or correct it. Bank statements are shared through a secure, read-only service, so it can't be used to move money or make changes to your account.
Once your application is complete, it's reviewed by a person on our lending team, and every approval is made by a person.¹ We've been lending since 2000, and if you'd rather talk to someone in person, you can visit one of our five Sydney branches. Our costs are published in full before you apply, and we send courtesy reminders before repayments are due.
No. Pawnbroking is only part of what we do. Cash Stop is a licensed lender offering small loans from $200 to $2,000 and personal loans from $2,100 to $8,000, online or in store.¹ Our branches also offer pawnbroking, gold buying and selling, and currency exchange.
Yes, you can apply. We look at what you can afford today, meaning your income and your outgoings, rather than deciding on a credit score alone. Regular Centrelink payments count as income. A past credit problem doesn't automatically rule you out, but approval isn't guaranteed.¹
No, and no responsible lender should. As a responsible lender, we only offer a loan if it's suitable for you, and we won't lend if the repayments would cause you hardship. If we can't help, we'll tell you honestly rather than waste your time. If we do approve your loan, you can ask us for a free copy of our suitability assessment.
Yes. The reviews on our site come from the Google Business Profiles of our branches. They're shown word for word, and we never edit them. You can read all of our reviews, good and bad, on our Google Business Profiles.
Small loans ($200 to $2,000) have no interest - just a one-off 20% establishment fee and a 4% monthly fee. Personal loans ($2,100 to $8,000) cost a $400 establishment fee plus interest at a fixed rate. Worked examples for every product and term are on our Loan Costs, Rates & Terms page, and your contract shows the total before you sign. Small loans can be expensive, so please read our first.
The online application takes a few minutes and is usually assessed the same day. Once you're approved¹ and have signed your contract, we send the funds by NPP, and most banks receive them within 30 minutes.** If you apply in one of our branches and you're approved,¹ you can leave with cash the same visit. Customers mention the speed in their own words in our reviews.
Call us as early as you can. We send courtesy reminders before repayments are due, and if your circumstances change we can talk through options such as a short extension or a new payment arrangement. If you're in financial hardship, you have the right to ask for a hardship variation. See our Contact page for the best way to reach us.
Cash Stop now has five branches, all in Sydney: Bankstown, Fairfield, Ingleburn, Parramatta and St Marys. If your local branch isn't on that list, it has closed, but you can still apply online from anywhere in Australia, and existing customers can manage their loan by phone or through the members' area.
No. Everything from applying to signing your contract can be done online. Our five Sydney branches are there if you'd rather deal with someone in person, and they also offer pawnbroking, gold buying and selling, and currency exchange.
