What Is an Emergency Loan?

Types of Emergency Loans

Emergencies come at us unexpectedly, often leaving us to deal with immediate expenses that we haven’t prepared for. Below are the types of emergency loans that are designed to help you out in these situations, no matter what your personal situation might be.

Emergency Loans with No Credit Check
When you apply for a loan, lenders perform what is called a credit check to determine whether a loan is ideal. But when you need money the most, borrowers should have access to the emergency funds they need, regardless of their credit history. That’s why Cigno offer Emergency Loans with No Credit Check to help you deal with the unexpected.
Emergency Cash Loans for Centrelink Customers
If you’re currently receiving payments from Centrelink, you most likely have a good reason. Times get tough and it’s understandable to reach out for financial support if you’re struggling to find work or on disability payment. Whatever your reason, Cigno offer Emergency Cash Loans for Centrelink Customers to make sure those unexpected emergencies don’t make tough times, tougher.
Same Day Emergency Loans
When that unexpected emergency hits, you may not have the financial freedom to cover the urgent expenses that arise as a result, and you cannot wait several days to pay them off. That’s why Cigno offer Same Day Emergency Loans so that you can get the funds you need to pay them, fast and without the wait.

NOTIFICATION OF MISCONDUCT BY CIGNO AUSTRALIA

Ordered by the Federal Court of Australia

The Federal Court of Australia has found that Cigno Australia Pty Ltd (Cigno Australia) and BSF Solutions Pty Ltd (BSF Solutions) have breached the law by engaging in unlicensed credit activity and charging prohibited fees.

In the period from July 2022 to 3 October 2023, over 100,000 consumers have been lent a total of $34 million, and charged fees of over $70 million, under the ‘No Upfront Charge Loan Model’ operated by BSF Solutions and Cigno Australia. At no time has either BSF Solutions or Cigno Australia held an Australian Credit Licence.

The Court also found that Mark Swanepoel (director of Cigno Australia) and Brenton James Harrison (director of BSF Solutions) were involved in these breaches of the law.

With effect from 24 May 2024, the Court has granted permanent injunctions preventing Cigno Australia and BSF Solutions from:

  • demanding, receiving or accepting fees or charges, including amounts of loan principal, from consumers in relation to credit provided under the ‘No Upfront Charge Model’; and
  • engaging in further credit activity pursuant to the ‘No Upfront Charge Loan Model’, including by entering into new agreements with consumers, for so long as they do not hold an Australian Credit Licence.

Cigno Australia was ordered by the Court to, by 5th July 2024, send written communications to consumers who between July 2022 and December 2022 entered into agreements with Cigno Australia and BSF Solutions under the ‘No Upfront Charge Loan Model’.

The Court will later determine whether (among other things) Cigno Australia and Mark Swanepoel ought to pay a pecuniary penalty in respect of this conduct, and whether Mark Swanepoel should be restrained from carrying on a business engaging in credit activity.

Cigno Australia, BSF Solutions, Mr Swanepoel and Mr Harrison intend to appeal the decision of the Court and have filed an application for leave to appeal. If the appeal is successful, some or all of the orders of the Federal Court of Australia may be set aside.
