Flexible non-bank lending options

When standard bank lending criteria may not suit your circumstances, non-bank lenders can provide additional lending options, subject to their criteria and assessment.

When non-bank lending may be considered

Non-bank lending may be considered where standard bank criteria do not suit your circumstances, including some self-employed, complex-income or specialist lending situations.

Non-bank lending can involve different interest rates, fees, terms and conditions from standard bank lending. We explain these differences before you decide how to proceed.

Flexible assessment processes

Some non-bank lenders have different assessment processes and lending criteria. Timing depends on the lender, application and circumstances.

Different lending criteria

Some non-bank lenders may consider income, credit history or lending circumstances differently from mainstream banks.
