Who we are

Established in 2005, Lendingco is an independently owned finance brokerage firm that operates Australia wide.

With lenders currently offering greater choice but less service, the decision about which financial service best suits you can often be a confusing and overwhelming experience.

With Lendingco, there is no more guesswork. Equipped with a team of dedicated and experienced staff, we compare hundreds of lending products to find a tailored solution that best suits you.

Our goal is to not only provide you with a tailored solution, but to empower you with the tools and knowledge to make smarter and more informed choices to help you reach your goals faster.

Our experienced and friendly team can quickly compare over 700 lending products across our panel of 30 lenders to find the loan that best meets your requirements.

Using powerful software, we search hundreds of loans and have the ability to organise finance for almost any purpose, from first home buyers through to investors and business loans.

At Lendingco, we not only save you money but also time, as you no longer need to spend time in separate meetings in separate locations, receiving conflicting opinions from different lenders.

Our approach is simple, yet powerful.
