The team at Save My Bacon are committed to the practice of responsible lending and do not want to keep you in debt. We want you to repay your loan quickly and we aim to only lend to people who we believe can afford to repay us as agreed.
Our service is designed to put you in control of your cash flow, for those times when the occasional emergency or unexpected bill surprises you.
At Save My Bacon we are firmly of the view that loans do not go bad, rather, they start bad. Therefore, we undertake reasonable enquiries to verify your financial situation. We do this in order to make a responsible assessment about the suitability of the contract for you and the affordability of the loan.
Varying loan amounts are available with Save My Bacon loans ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 over 12 months to 36 months . We only lend to those customers that we believe have the means to repay the loan as agreed.
As part of our commitment to responsible lending, customers need to be receiving regular and consistent income in order to obtain a loan from Save My Bacon.
The amount of money we lend is based on your income. This is because we want you to be able to repay your Save My Bacon loan as soon as possible and it is important that you do not borrow more than you can afford. You need to meet our minimum income test of $400 net income per week.
Use our online loan calculator to determine how much you can borrow.
At Save My Bacon we calculate the total amount repayable for you upfront.
We also make you fully aware of the annual interest rate (AIR) applicable to our loan in our Interest and Fees section of the website. Although we aren't obliged to show this on our website, we do so because we want to be upfront with you. The AIR is an annualised measure and doesn't actually represent the true cost of a Save My Bacon loan, taken over a period of less than 12 months. To find out more, read the Interest and fees section of our website.
Our system allows us to provide continuous disclosure regarding your outstanding loan balance (i.e. the amount that, if paid today, would settle the loan) and how to repay the balance. You can repay early and, if you do, then you will save money.
If costs increase, it’s because you’ve failed to honour your loan agreement. Please refer to the Interest and fees section of the website for further information on our default fees.
At Save My Bacon we reserve the right to run a credit check. We do this as part of our assessment of the suitability and affordability of a loan for you.
Our commitment to responsible lending practice means we aim to only lend to those who can afford to pay us back on their repayment date(s) as agreed.
We know a few past mistakes can lead to a bad credit history. Therefore, if you have a low credit rating we may still lend to you. We take your overall financial situation into account, which includes conducting a full bank statement assessment to derive our loan decision.
While it is important when applying for a line of credit to choose a company that practices responsible lending, it is just as important to make sure that you use your Save My Bacon loan responsibly.
Your Save My Bacon loan is a financial commitment. Please check you are in a position to afford your repayments now and in the future.
