General Questions
A mortgage broker compares loan options across multiple lenders on your behalf, helps structure your application to match lender criteria, and manages the process from pre-approval through to settlement — at no cost to you.
Nothing. Credoleap Finance is a fee-free service to borrowers. We're paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles.
Credoleap Finance has direct access to a comprehensive panel of over 40+ leading Australian banks, regional lenders, and non-bank credit providers, giving you access to hundreds of distinct loan features and structures.
Generally: proof of identity, recent payslips or tax returns, bank statements, and details of any existing debts or assets. We'll give you a personalised checklist once we understand your situation.
We work with a broad panel of lenders, including specialist and non-bank lenders with more flexible credit criteria, so it's worth having a conversation before assuming you don't qualify.
