      Rates and fees

      Swoosh Finance is all about simple, easy finance. That’s why we’re upfront about our rates and fees. You know what you are dealing with before you make any decisions.

      Interest is calculated daily, based on the outstanding balance, and is applied monthly to your account. Our small car repair loans have fixed interest rates, so you know exactly how much you’ll be paying for the entire loan term.

      If a scheduled payment is returned unpaid, we may issue a $40.00 debit dishonour fee. This fee is not subject to interest, though you’ll continue to pay the usual interest charges as described.

      Loans for car repairs with bad credit

      Can I get a car repair loan even with bad credit? Yes, it is possible! We understand that bad credit isn’t always an indicator of where you’re at today, and we have an evaluation process that takes this into consideration.

      For those who find themselves in a financially secure position after a history of bad credit, it can prove very difficult to secure a standard loan. So, by looking into the ‘here and now’ of your financial situation, we’re able to offer a bad credit loan to those who have been impacted by poor credit in the past.

      We offer our loans after evaluating current bank statements and assessing whether you have the ability to repay the loan now, not one year ago or some other time in the past. This way, you can get an emergency car repair loan with bad credit, helping you back on the road.

      Car repair loan FAQs

      We pride ourselves on our same day loans, and our online loan application takes only minutes to complete. Once received, we can get you the money you need on the same day* – on standard business days, this could be as quick as an hour.

      In many cases, you can apply for your small cash loan today and receive the funds in your account before the day is done. Once a contract is signed electronically, we’ll deposit the funds directly into your bank account.

      *Speed of approval is conditional to receipt of all requested relevant documents/information.

      Swoosh does not offer no credit check loans for car repairs. Credit checks are an important part of the assessment process and help to protect both the customer and the lender.
