Creditomax review
A matching service that publishes less about itself than any other entry here — apply through it only if you already know the lender.
A free matching service for short-term loans that hands your request to partner lenders. It does not name the company behind it where we could read it, so this review carries no figures: whatever you are offered comes from, and is priced by, the lender that responds.
Who it suits: Someone who has been declined elsewhere and wants one more panel to try — and will read the lender's quotation, not the platform's promises.
What a matching service is
Creditomax does not lend money, set interest rates or make credit decisions. It collects your details and passes them to lenders that pay it a referral fee. The lender that accepts you runs the affordability assessment, issues the quotation and pays out; your agreement is with that lender. The fee can't be added to your loan — costs are capped by the National Credit Act however you applied.

Borrowing money costs money — only borrow what you can afford to repay. Lenders listed here publish a National Credit Regulator registration; matching services are not lenders and are labelled as such. The order of our lists reflects our partner agreements; the star ratings are our own. Costs shown as "legal maximum" are the caps set by the National Credit Act, not a lender's price.

Questions about Creditomax
›Is Creditomax a lender?
No. Creditomax is a matching service. It forwards your application to registered credit providers; any loan agreement is between you and the lender that accepts you.
›Does Creditomax charge me anything?
No. Matching services are paid by the lenders they refer to. That fee cannot be added to your loan cost, which is capped by the National Credit Act regardless of how you applied.
›Will Creditomax check my credit record?
The platform itself usually runs a soft pre-check. The lender it forwards you to must run a full affordability assessment, including a credit check, before granting credit — no registered lender can skip that.
›How much can I get through Creditomax?
Amounts depend on which partner lender responds to your application; the platform does not set them.
