Home Loan Lenders in Australia
With a variety of home loan lenders available in Australia, each offering distinct interest rates, terms, and conditions, navigating the landscape can be complex. Here's an overview of the most common types of lenders:
Mortgage Brokers
Mortgage brokers act as intermediaries, connecting borrowers with lenders. They provide crucial information on various lending institutions and their products, helping prospective borrowers find suitable options.
Mortgage Managers
Mortgage managers specialize in arranging funding for home and investment loans. Unlike banks and credit unions, they don’t rely on customer deposits. Instead, they use a process called securitisation, pooling assets with income streams to create saleable securities. Mortgage managers handle the setup of loans and communicate with all parties involved?"originators, trustees, credit assessors, and borrowers?"to manage loans throughout their terms.
Credit Unions
Credit unions operate as cooperatives owned by their members, who are both customers and shareholders. They fund loans from member deposits and serve communities with shared interests, such as workplace, location, or religious affiliation. As nonprofit entities, credit unions prioritize customer service over profit, offering a variety of banking services without external shareholder pressure.
Building Societies
Operating similarly to banks, building societies gather funding primarily through customer deposits. Customers are members and essentially own the society, thus often referred to as mutual societies. Like credit unions, they focus on serving members' needs.
Banks
Australian banks, regulated by the Reserve Bank, are the original lending institutions. They primarily source their funds through customer term deposits and savings deposits. Customers earn interest on these deposits, which banks then lend to borrowers. The difference between the interest paid on deposits and received from loans provides banks with their main revenue stream.
By understanding the roles of these different lenders, borrowers in Australia can make informed decisions tailored to their financial needs.
