When you find the right vehicle, we can finance the purchase, providing everything checks out1.

Car finance on Centrelink works the same way as other car loans but is open to those in receipt of Centrelink payments who other lenders would typically reject. Money3 believes in giving everyone a fair go1 and considers all income sources when determining the suitability of a loan. We care about whether the loan is affordable based on your ability to repay it comfortably and won’t reject your application solely because you receive government benefits.
No, unfortunately, you cannot. Money3 will consider all Centrelink benefits except for Abstudy, Austudy and Youth Allowance payments.
If your income is a mix of work earnings and Centrelink payments, and we consider the loan affordable, you could potentially borrow up to $75,000 from Money31. If you are a first-time Money3 customer and more than half of all your income comes from Centrelink payments, then you will be limited to a maximum of $10,000.
Yes, if you are a continuing or past Money3 customer, you could potentially borrow more than $10,000 even though most of your income is from Centrelink payments1. With that said, we will still need to carefully review your financial circumstances to ensure that the car loan will be affordable for you before it can be approved.
Your regular repayments for the car loan will depend on how much you borrow and how long the loan term is. Use our car loan calculator to get an idea of what your repayments could be if approved for a loan.
Our simple application process means that all the info you need should be easily accessible. The basic information we require from you includes your address, contact details, and some details of your regular expenses (such as monthly bills). Confirming your driver’s license will speed up the process but is optional. As part of our obligations as a responsible lender, we also need to get 90 days of bank statements from you, which you can provide securely online in a few minutes.
No, you don’t need to provide any collateral. The vehicle you purchase will act as security for the loan.
No, you don’t need a deposit, but it can help you get a higher value vehicle when you combine it with your car loan pre-approval.
Yes, we don’t place any restriction on where you find the vehicle. Private sales and dealerships are OK.
Yes, with Money3, you could. We’ll look at the entirety of your financial circumstances to work out whether a car loan for your desired amount is affordable. We are adept at providing car loans and other types of finance to those with unique financial situations. Regardless of your credit score or source of income, we’ll give you a fair go1.

Money3 believes in a fair go for everyone who wants to apply for finance. We take a flexible approach to lending that enables us to provide loans to people that are typically refused finance by other lenders1. When they apply, we consider the entirety of a customer’s financial circumstances and won’t reject them solely because they receive government benefits or have a low credit score.
Money3 is a responsible lender regulated by ASIC. Our Australian Credit Licence is 389 067.
