NO INTEREST LOANS SCHEME (NILS)

Providing small interest-free loans

Supporting people to buy household items and pay for essential services with interest-free loans

NILS loans enable people experiencing financial hardship to buy household items such as appliances and furniture, or pay for essential services like dental, optical care or car registration.

About the No Interest Loans Scheme (NILS)

Anglicare offers NILS for people who are unable to access mainstream credit. NILS involves small loans of up to $1500 to enable people to purchase necessary household items such as furniture and white goods.
Loans are also available for essential services such as dental and optical care.
Loans through NILS incur no interest and no setup fees are required. Clients are only required to repay what they borrow and repayment plans are tailored to suit individual circumstances.

Anglicare’s NILS funding is provided by NSW Fair Trading, NAB Bank, Country Energy and DSS.
