If you’ve got unexpected bills or you’re a little short on your regular expenses, an unsecured cash loan can help you get by until payday comes around.
An unsecured personal loan is an amount of money lent without any asset put up as collateral. Whereas a secured loan uses a possession (such as a house or vehicle) as a safety net for the lender, an unsecured loan does not require this. Simply fill out our enquiry form and gain access to a panel of potential providers who may be able to assist you.
It is important with all loans that you make sure you can afford the repayments before entering into any agreement. If you cannot, you should consider other options. Cigno specialises at finding a suitable solution to meet your needs, whether that be a loan option or another financial solution.
Typically, an unsecured loan is easier to get compared to a secured loan and can be applied for even if you do not have any collateral. There are also circumstances where you may prefer an unsecured loan because there is no risk to any asset that is if the unexpected occurs and you end up in default. Unsecured loans are also often more flexible when it comes to repayment periods.
Please consider your own circumstances before you use Cigno. Please make sure you read our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions and this Financial Risk Disclaimer.

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:
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.
