Need a cash loan fast?
Looking for a pawn shop? Whether you need cash for a sudden bill, a special surprise for a loved one, or maybe just simply to get by until your next payday, then a Superloans Pawn Loan could be exactly what you need. What’s more, if it’s your first time borrowing from us, the loan is free!
Pawn loans are a form of secured personal loan - this means you leave something behind with us, and we lend you cash against that item. You can pay back that loan at any point, as long as it's within three months from the date you took the cash. If you pay back the loan within three months, you get your item back, just as it was.
There are no establishment or administration fees, and the fee to pawn the item is a fixed amount per month. Simple! That means you won't get charged increasing amounts of interest each month, like you would with a cash loan from a bank.
You're in control
We understand that secured loans can be intimidating, especially when the item you choose as collateral is important to you.
Here at Superloans, you’re in complete control of the whole process. The terms generally boil down to a simple concept: the sooner you pay the loan back, the less interest you pay, and the sooner you’ll have your item back! Our team will outline all the finer details before you make an application, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.
Because the loan is secured against an item you own, we can go through the approval process in a snap.
Get sorted quickly with cash in your hand. No need to wait for a payment to clear in your bank account.
Pay back the loan at anytime before the date we agree and you'll get your item back. Plus, there’s no penalty for paying your pawn loan back early! The sooner you pay it back, the less you pay.
This will depend on the value of the item you are bringing in, and we'll evaluate that at the time, but here's some general guides to help give you and idea of what your item might be worth.

Can I top up my Express Loan?
You sure can. The My Superloans App tells you when a top-up is available and how much you can walk out with if approved.

A Pawn Loan is perfect if you are self-employed. However, you may be approved for an Express Loan if you get a regular income, and meet the other criteria. Apply for a Free Loan to see if you qualify.

Free Loan FAQs
How much can I borrow?
For your first, free loan, you can borrow up to $500.
The amount you can borrow will be dependent on your income. Check our calculator to see how much cash you could walk out with.
If you need more than $500, you will need to apply for an Express Loan (Express Loans over $500 do not qualify for the first loan free offer), or you could pawn an item of high value.
Do you do credit checks?
A credit check is part of our application process, combined with other checks we complete using our own Responsible Lending Guidelines. However, we also take into account your current circumstances, not just your credit rating. Check out our Bad Credit loan page if you're concerned about your credit rating.
Can I repay my Free Loan early?
You sure can, and you won't be charged any penalty or fees for doing that. We encourage our customers to pay back their loans as fast as they can!
What happens if I miss a payment?
On the first dishonoured payment, we'll send you a text message alerting you to a missed payment. If you contact us immediately and make a manual payment, you won't incur any default fees.
If you don't reply to the text message, we'll continue to try to contact you by text message, phone, and email.
If we extend your loan term, you'll need to pay the interest for the additional pay period/s. Have a look at our Costs page to understand the fees, interest and charges for an extension and the dishonoured payment fee.
What happens if I stop payment of my free loan?
Our staff will attempt to contact you to discuss your situation and try to assist you in any way possible.
Pawn Loans FAQs
What can I bring in for a pawn loan?
We accept all sorts of things. Check out the most common items here.
What if I have bad credit?
No worries! Since a pawn loan is made against an item of value that you own that we hold until repayment, we aren't concerned with your credit rating.
What's the maximum I can borrow?
It all depends on the condition, age and resale value of the item you're bringing in to pawn.
Can I have more than one Pawn Loan?
There's no limit to the number of pawn loans you can have at any one time.
Can I pay my Pawn Loan off?
You can, but you can only put a part payment towards the interest portion of the loan, the principal amount needs to be paid in a lump sum.

Will my item be sold if I don’t repay my loan?
Yes, but this is the last resort. We'll contact you three times over a 3-month period and, but if we don't hear back from you, we’ll auction the item to recover our costs.
Are my goods safe while held in your branches?
Absolutely. We take good care of your items, and we take security seriously. Your goods are safe here.

No problem. You can extend the contract for a month by paying the interest for that month by simply jumping on the My Superloans app, and following the instructions or come into the store and one of our staff will help you out.
