Their platform asks for your ID/Username and Password for your bank. This is terribly stupid, incompetent and unnecessary. It does not matter if this is handled in part by Illion. It does not matter how many layers of encryption there supposedly are. It doesn't matter if this service is common or backed by a large company. Basically any bank on… Read more
planet earth will advise, and even as part of their ToS, request that you do not share your login details to anyone. That is not banks being overzealous or to void liability, it's common sense.
There are many services that allow scoped, time limited secure connections to your banking data via OAuth tokens, which is still questionable but infinitely preferable to providing your literal bank login, and is at least supported by banks themselves.
This is an insane, incompetent, gross practice.
DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR BANKING PASSWORD TO ANYONE.
Nimble literally asks you to break your banks ToS, completely unnecessarily. I am absolutely shocked seeing this.
Loans are never processed quickly for repeat customers which makes no sense. App and website are very bugged
They will not let me login to my account or change pw. Yet they send me emails all the time. Did not want them at all, they took over from another company. Dirty from the onset, AVOID

Great Service, fast easy, but do not like their marketing tactics – Fast, easy, and in my account within the next business day. Their marketing tripe they send is in accurate. Travel agents have saved their customer hundreds of thousands of dollars by protecting them against companies that go bust (bestjet, fly365, Bentours, etc etc). Please don't peddle poorly researched crap. If it wasn't for the below article I was sent, I would have given 5 stars. Show details · 1

Quick and Easy – I was able to get a loan out when I really needed it with Nimble and repayments were easy. Only complaint I have is that there was not a ‘pay out’ button you need to call and can’t pay extra each fortnight without calling. Crystal Landers Show details · 1
Negative reviews
I had a loan with them, they lied to me that if I paid it out I could apply for another loan with easy application processed. I paid it then they turned back on the loan application. I complained and then they blocked my account.

Never go near this company! – I would never use Nimble Australia again and would like to warn people thinking that they may offer helpful loans. Despite a huge change to my financial circumstances and subsequent financial hardship they have been absolutely no help. They instead referred my case to ARMA collections who added an additional $800 to the initial amount that I… Read more
explained I couldn't pay upfront. I am disgusted with this company and hope that nobody has an experience like I have. They charge $15 dishonour fees for missed payments and $35 monthly dishonour fee and $1.15 per every transaction. Despite me explaining my significant financial hardship they wouldn't offer any pause to the payment debits and dishonour fees and instead referred my case to debt collection. I'm disgusted.
60 minute loan has been over 60 hours – Nimble advertise "money in 60 minutes" It's been 3 days and they haven't even looked at my application (you can check your application to see what stage it is at)

False advertising and no customer support – This company is a prime offender in false advertising and poor customer service. Been waiting multiple days for a loan request to even get assesed. Need i remind you false advertising is a crime. I reached out and tried to contact them through their website and email to customer support. Both times ignored, no response or contact. I've had to push… Read more
back expenses incurring fees waiting for these criminals to even acknowledge my request. I reccomend you try someone other than nimble for small loans.
Not recommended – The fees are about 3 times more then the loan is worth, they deliberately take a few days to process so your payment doesn't go through and you then get slammed with more fees! Not ro mention they attack your credit rating, thanks nimble, youve made 2x the loan amount and still want another 600, rip-offs, never again. Show details

[Content Removed] Customer Setvice – Horrible company to deal with. I asked for $300 only and none of my criteria have changed since the pay load months ago. Was declined for me apparent reason. Give your customers some details so they know what they are dealing with NIMBLE!!!
Disappointing Experience with Nimble - A Cautionary Review – I am writing to share my recent experience with Nimble, which regrettably has left me deeply dissatisfied and compelled to caution others about the potential pitfalls of engaging with your services. Initially, I contacted Nimble for the payout figure to settle my loan. I promptly paid the specified amount in full and submitted the payment receipt… Read more
to your team.
After this payment, I received an email confirming that my account had been paid in full, closed, and the direct debit deactivated, leading me to believe that my financial commitment had concluded successfully.
To my surprise, on my usual payment date, I was charged the same amount as before, contradicting the closure email and causing unnecessary financial strain.
Subsequent calls to your customer service resulted in acknowledgment of the error and assurances that someone would contact me.
Unfortunately, these promises remain unfulfilled, leaving my concerns unaddressed.
As someone facing financial difficulties, the lack of resolution from Nimble has caused undue stress and hardship.
I strongly advise others to exercise caution when considering loans from Nimble and to explore alternative options.
It is crucial for individuals to carefully weigh their options and be aware of the potential challenges they may face when dealing with Nimble's services.
Stay away – I agree with most of these low reviews. I applied a few times years ago. when I was in a tricky situation. Of course my credit score crashed and still hasn't recovered ( wish I knew this). Now I earn much more money and applied for a loan twice as I need urgent funds and was downright rejected. No explanation except for a based on your credit… Read more
score, which us actually pretty good and also they are the ones that dropped it initially how ironic. Not sure what's going on here but they just rejected me... I don't even think they give money to anyone... unless perfect score but they will destroy it. I applied through the bank and got my urgent needed cash. Never again
Joke a loan company – I'm not sure who these people actually give loans to anymore. I had a couple of small loans a few years ago with them. Paid them all off on time. And since then I have applied a few times over the years and been rejected straight away everytime. I'm still in the same full time job I've been in for 7 years, always make my repayments. No idea what their problem is. But if you are looking for a loan, just go anywhere else.
Criminals – After a nearly ten years of over priced loans with these criminals, I am denied a new loan when my credit rating has never been higher than it is now in the excellent range, go elsewhere for loans and not with these fools. Show details
It’s pretty bad – Ask for too much information and documents and still refused my application. Also was waiting for 2 days for an answer. Not recommended at all

YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST ( Better then all the rest) – Nimble has been an absolute god send. Their loans are easy to apply for and their customer service is so beyond wonderful and helpful. I've never ever had any unnecessary or secret extra costs or fees. They give 100% therefore I give 100% back. Thankful for everything you do. Nothing but 110% satisfied with everything you do.

Nimble is a great service it has helped me out immensely ! – I love nimble, I have been using it for a very long time now and they always supply exactly what I need from them. They have great customer service, very helpful staff, always willing to help with anything you need. I would use nimble all over again in the future as it is such an easy access service and there are no hidden or excessive fees that come with the loan. Show details · 1
Absolute joke! – What a joke this company is! Their “Anytime” product is just a scam to get your personal information and ruin your credit score! Responsible lending pfft! My credit score went down 80 points because of this pathetic company! They hide behind this countries pathetic “National Credit Code” rules and legislation and continue to ruin and destroy… Read more
peoples lives and finances! I will do everything in my power to have their enquiry removed but as it’s been with other “high risk” lenders like Nimble, the government is on their side to help ruin your financial life! Shame on you!

Used to be good, not anymore – Used to be good. Have used them many times in the past for short term loans. This is loans that ignore the credit score, payday loans. Possibly used them like 5-6 times in the past and have a history of never missing payment. Ever since Covid however their criteria is now more strenuous, they don’t communicate with you, it’s not personalized,… Read more
there are no questions it just a waste of time. Don’t get tricked into applying for short term loans your better off with their competitors. According to nimble I did not fit the criteria, when applying through another provider with the same loan amount I was approved straight away. So doesn’t make sense how they claim fast approval etc it’s all nonsense.
