Pawnbroker Services in Cairns

Bradford Coins & Stamps offers pawn loans on selected items that meet our lending rules. A pawn loan lets us hold an item as security for a loan. The loan follows the agreed terms and the law.

Our team can explain:

  • the loan process

  • fees and payment needs

  • how to redeem your item

The pawn loan process may include:

  • bringing the item in for assessment

  • showing the required ID

  • checking the item's condition, whether it is genuine, and its value

  • discussing the loan amount

  • reviewing fees and payment needs

  • agreeing to the loan terms

  • holding the item as security

  • redeeming the item under the agreement

Please contact us first if you are not sure your item is suitable.

Pawnbroking Fees and Loan Terms

Our pawn loan fees and terms are:

  • First two weeks: 10%

  • Thereafter: 15% per month

  • Standard agreed loan term: six months

Please confirm fees, charges, payment needs, and how to redeem your item with Bradford Coins before you enter a loan.

Queensland pawnbroking laws may affect the time you have to redeem your item and other loan conditions. Customers sign for an agreed six-month term, subject to the law and the loan agreement.

Under our current arrangements, items may be held beyond the first term. At least one payment is required every six months. Please contact our team to confirm current needs and conditions.
