 AI reviews summary 

Stay Finance is highly regarded for its streamlined and user-friendly digital application process, with many users receiving funds within hours of applying. The service is frequently highlighted as a viable option for individuals with non-traditional income sources or below-average credit scores. While the majority of feedback is positive, some users have experienced longer-than-expected waiting periods for approval or felt frustrated by the lack of explanation following a decline.

Pros
  • Efficient Application Process: The online forms are described as simple, intuitive, and quick to complete, often taking only a few minutes without excessive paperwork.
  • Rapid Funding: Approved applicants frequently report receiving funds in their accounts on the same day, sometimes within minutes or hours of signing contracts.
  • Inclusive Lending: The company is praised for considering applicants with poor credit history or those on Centrelink income, providing a "fair go" when traditional banks may not.
  • Transparent Communication: Users appreciate the clear terms, lack of hidden fees, and the responsive, professional nature of the customer support team.
Cons
  • Variable Processing Times: Although many receive instant decisions, some users report waiting several days for an outcome without receiving updates.
  • Lack of Feedback on Rejections: There are complaints regarding applications being declined without specific reasons, particularly for returning customers with previous positive history.
  • Technical and Documentation Hurdles: Occasional reports mention website glitches preventing loan amount entry and frustration over being asked to resubmit documents like payslips for repeat applications.
  • Referral Dissatisfaction: Some users expressed frustration after being redirected to "secure partners" who also ultimately declined their applications.
Verdict

Stay Finance is a strong candidate for consumers seeking fast, short-term financial assistance, especially those who may struggle to secure loans through major banks. However, potential applicants should be prepared for the possibility of a multi-day wait during busy periods and should ensure their documentation is ready for manual review if required.

My experience was excellent from start to finish. The team treated me with respect, communicated clearly, and made the whole process straightforward. I was going through a really challenging time financially and needed support, and they gave me a chance when I needed it most. I'm genuinely grateful for how easy they made the experience. … Read more

Everything was explained clearly from the beginning, and I didn't experience any unexpected fees or issues during my loan.

I was very satisfied with the rate I received. It was fair, suited my circumstances, and helped me get through a difficult period without any surprises.

Absolute useless. I had to wait over 24 hours just to be declined for a loan I have more than the capability of repaying. I have good credit and a regular income, and shared expenses. Clearly this is a loan company that targets people that won't… Read more

pay and people they can get excessive fees from. I recommend using CashTrain as your lender over this parasites. Also, they offer rewards for positive feedback. That says it all really!

They have been extremely helpful with assisting when times were tight, one improvement could be current loan balances on main dashboard though instead of having to email each time for a pay out figure

I have been a reliable customer with an above average Stay score, but recently I was denied on a loan application without any explanation on why, which has left me confused. I DO NOT recommend Stay Finance Not Impressed

They took 3 days to get back to me with "they couldn't help me this time but 1 of our secure partners can"........ All to be stuffed around again with a "sorry we couldn't find a partner to give you a chance"! Show details

I haven't been approved yet, however, the website is easy to navigate, I sent a message and got a reply within 15 minutes. It seems as though this company can offer a more personalis d service than most.
