Settlement loans at a glance

  • An advance against your expected personal injury compensation
  • Repaid by your solicitor from settlement funds — not from your income

  • Available while your claim is ongoing or after settlement

Pre‑settlement vs post‑settlement loans explained

Settlement loans aren't one-size-fits-all — they match the stage your claim is at when you apply.

During the fight: Pre‑Settlement Loan

Your claim is still ongoing. Get funding to cover essentials while your solicitor builds and fights your case. Borrow up to 10% of your estimated claim value, with redraws available every 90 days or at significant claim progress.

After the win: Post‑Settlement Advance

Your claim has settled, but the payout usually takes another 2–3 months. Since the outcome is crystal clear, we offer a cheaper rate and faster approvals. Borrow up to 30% of your estimated net in-hand, with redraws every 30 days.

We lend only a small portion of your estimated outcome (across all loans) so you keep the lion's share of your compensation.

Typical processing times

We move quickly. Final timing depends on three parts: you, us, and your solicitor.

2 – 6 business hoursTypical Post‑settlement processing
1 – 1½ business daysTypical Pre‑settlement processing

We're lightning fast when it comes to processing applications & assessing your compensation advance.

The overall timeline depends on when the required information is available from both you and your solicitor.

If you need funds urgently, it can help to let your solicitor know you’ve applied (or are about to apply) and that we will contact them for information. Keep in mind that your solicitor may be in court, in conference, or with clients, so timing can depend on their availability.


Simple. Transparent. No surprises.

Both loan types follow the same intentionally simple pricing structure. The only difference is the interest rate based on your claim stage.

One simple fee

We charge a single establishment fee plus interest — no monthly/yearly fees, no admin charges, no hidden add-ons.

Fixed interest locked-in

Your loan's interest rate is fixed from day one. There are no variable rate adjustments or unexpected increases.

No excess interest

Interest is calculated daily, so you only pay for the time your loan is outstanding. If your claim settles early you pay less — if it runs longer, there are no extension fees.

What you won't pay

We don’t believe in fee stacking. If it’s not listed in our pricing, it’s not there.

  • No monthly or annual fees
  • No application or assessment fees
  • No early repayment or discharge fees
  • No term extension fees
  • No stamp duty or government charges
  • No PPSR or security registration fees
Early repayment matters

If you receive interim compensation (e.g. TPD payouts or workers' comp lump sums), you can reduce your balance partially or in full at any time — with no early repayment fee.

Frequently asked questions

No. We don't run credit checks or require proof of employment. Your application is assessed entirely on the strength and progress of your personal injury claim, not your income, payslips or credit score.

Non-recourse means you don't repay the loan if your claim is unsuccessful or your compensation proceeds are insufficient to cover the loan. The risk sits with us, not you.

In most cases you won’t need to make repayments yourself. Your solicitor repays the loan directly from your settlement funds when they are received — similar to legal fees and other disbursements.

No. There are no required repayments until your compensation is received and your solicitor distributes settlement funds.

However, you can choose to make partial or full repayments at any time, there are no early repayment fees or penalties. Since interest is calculated daily, paying early reduces the total amount payable.
