Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a conversation about your vehicle goals – whether you're buying a new or used car, upgrading your current vehicle, or looking to refinance an existing car loan. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers explain the car loan process, assess your financial position, and begin identifying suitable options from a wide panel of banks and lenders across Australia.

Financial Assessment

Your broker conducts a detailed review of your finances, including income, expenses, assets, liabilities and savings. They assess your borrowing capacity and explain key terms such as secured vs unsecured car loans, balloon payments, and how your credit history may affect your loan options.

Loan Comparison & Selection

With a clear understanding of your financial position, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers research and compare a range of car loan products. These may include loans with fixed or variable interest rates, flexible repayment terms, or features like no early exit fees. Our brokers help you compare the pros and cons of each option so you can confidently choose a loan that suits your budget and goals.

Loan Pre-Approval

Securing a loan pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and helps you shop for your next car with confidence. Your broker prepares and submits the required documents – such as payslips, bank statements and ID – to the lender for initial assessment. Pre-approval also puts you in a stronger position when negotiating with dealerships or private sellers.

Formal Loan Application

Once you've found the right car and chosen your preferred loan, your broker submits the formal application to the lender. They manage all necessary paperwork, respond to any lender queries, and keep you informed every step of the way to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

Loan Approval & Settlement Preparation

When your car loan is approved, your broker reviews the loan agreement with you and ensures you understand all the key details – including interest rate, fees, repayment schedule and any conditions attached to the loan. They also arrange for the funds to be released, either to you or directly to the seller or dealership.

Settlement & Ongoing Support

At settlement, your lender disburses the funds and you’re ready to drive away in your new car. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers work with all parties involved to make sure everything is finalised correctly and on time. After settlement, we remain available to support you with managing your repayments, refinancing, or future finance needs.
