Bradford Coins is an Australian-owned, family-run business established in 1980 and based in Cairns, Queensland.

How Pawn Loans Work

A pawn loan allows an eligible item of value to be used as security for a loan. Bradford Coins assesses the item and, if it meets our lending requirements, explains the available loan arrangements.

The pawn loan process can include:

  • Presenting an eligible item for assessment
  • Providing required identification
  • Assessment of the item's type, condition and value
  • Discussion of the available loan amount
  • Explanation of applicable fees and payment requirements
  • Agreement to the applicable pawn loan terms
  • Holding the item as security for the agreed term
  • Redemption of the item in accordance with the agreed terms

Customers should understand the applicable terms and fees before entering into a pawn loan. Because Bradford Coins lends only on selected items, we recommend contacting us if you are unsure whether your item may be suitable.

Pawnbroking Terms and Fees

Bradford Coins' current pawnbroking fees are:

  • 10% for the first two weeks
  • 15% per month thereafter
  • Standard holding period of six months

Queensland legislation provides a standard redemption period of three months unless a longer period is agreed between the pawnbroker and customer. Bradford Coins customers sign for our six-month term.

Under our current arrangements:

  • Pawned items can be held beyond the initial term
  • At least one payment must be made every six months
  • The agreed loan terms continue to apply
  • Customers should confirm current requirements with Bradford Coins

Loan terms, fees and requirements can depend on the circumstances of the loan. Customers should confirm the current terms with Bradford Coins before entering into a pawn loan.
