What are Non Bank Lenders?

Non-bank lenders, like Finbase, provide similar loan services as the main banks, but are not subject to the strict lending restrictions set by the reserve bank. This allows us to offer you a more tailored solution and faster approval times. We understand that each borrower is unique and have designed our services around this principle, offering large sum advances of up to $2 million with no income verification. Non-bank lenders are a great option for those who need to borrow money, but don't fit the criteria for traditional banks.

Types of Loans Offered by Non-Bank Lenders

Finbase's non bank lending options provide different loan options tailored to every individual borrower. Our fast approvals are great for professional property investors, property traders and developers.

Bridging Finance

Bridge financing is a short-term loan to quickly get money when you don't have enough time to get finance from first-tier lenders. We can work fast to create a flexible loan plan with fair interest rates. This helps you to fund your new property without the need to pay the interest right away.

Property Trading Finance

Property traders buy and sell real estate with the aim of making a profit through improving and reselling the property. Banks generally won't fund short term loans, but you can fund property trading with a second tier lender. Finbase have short-term loan services to fund a purchase quickly and easily.

Equity Release

Equity Release is a type of loan that allows you to access additional funds from your property. This can be used for homeowners who need funds for business related activities, to refinance debt or fund property improvements.

Costs and Fees:

 To be as transparent as possible we have outlined the various fees and costs associated with our Consumer Contracts below. It is important to note that these costs are a range of our minimum and maximum charges. We assess each deal individually and base costs on a variety of factors (excluding loan establishment fees which are based on the cost of the actual time spent), such as: 

Security being offered, Employment history & stability, Level of the LVR (Loan to Value Ratio), The amount of time to process your application and Credit History 

  • Finbase focuses on the individual deal, not just credit history. If the applicant can demonstrate a clear exit strategy and maintain a good loan-to-value ratio, Finbase will still consider the loan request.

  • Finbase's annual interest rate starts from 11%p.a., but the specific rate depends on various factors such as the amount you wish to borrow, your loan term, financial obligations, credit history, and the loan to value ratio of the security you provide. Establishment fees also apply.
