Provided you have not defaulted on your loan, we generally would not contact your employer. We may, however, contact your employer as part of our application process to ensure you are still employed.
We will never discuss the amount you are borrowing or the purpose of the loan with your employer. These details are confidential. The information we verify is to ensure you have a reliable, consistent source of employment that meets our threshold of $400 a week net.
We may contact your employer if you are in default of your loan. Please see the section below regarding Wage Deduction Authority.
We will transfer the money directly into your bank account within 60 minutes of your loan being approved, provided your bank accepts same day cleared payments.
Please note our 60-minute guarantee only applies to applications made between 9am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. Banks are closed at all other times, preventing us from making immediate payments outside those hours.
We will set up an automatic direct debit to collect the money directly from your bank account. The money will be deducted on the same night you are paid.
Please be aware, if the funds are not available in your account on the agreed direct debit date, you may incur a default fee.
Please refer to our Fees and hardship policy for further details. We will send you a text message reminder the day before your repayment is scheduled.

If you think you have insufficient funds in your account on the repayment date please contact us immediately to halt the direct debit. We realize your circumstances can change and will work with you to resolve this.

Failure to repay your loan may lead to legal action and may adversely affect your ability to gain credit in the future.
If you have doubts about whether you’ll be able to repay a loan we suggest you should not take out a loan.
We will present the Wage Deduction Authority to your employer (or future employer) and the payment of the loan plus costs will be paid directly to Zebra Loans by your employer from your wages, salary, commissions or holiday pay.
