You'll be assessed on your ability to repay the money you borrow. Three things you can do to help:

1. Make sure you're meeting your current repayment obligations for:

   • Other credit cards or loans (including lenders such as Afterpay and Zip Pay)
   • Rent as well as utilities such as your phone, internet and electricity.

2. Check the details on your credit report are correct before applying. Head to CreditSmart.org.au and follow the links to get a free credit report. More about credit reports.

3. Don't make multiple applications (with us or any other lender). Every application is listed as an enquiry on your credit report. Too many can be seen as a red flag and reduce your chances of approval.
