About Loan Platform Australia

Your trusted partner for comparing ASIC-licensed personal loans across Australia. We help you make informed borrowing decisions with transparency and consumer protection at the forefront.

Our Mission

Loan Platform Australia exists to empower Australians with transparent, comprehensive loan comparisons that prioritise consumer protection and informed financial decisions. We connect borrowers with ASIC-licensed lenders whilst maintaining the highest standards of compliance with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (NCCP Act) and Australian Consumer Law.

Our platform serves over 90% of Australia's population across 8 states and territories, covering 165 major cities from Sydney to Darwin, providing localised loan comparisons tailored to each region's economic landscape.

Our Core Values

Consumer Protection First

We only display ASIC-licensed lenders who comply with the NCCP Act. Every lender must meet responsible lending obligations, conduct affordability assessments, and provide clear disclosure of all terms and conditions.

Complete Transparency

We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships and how we earn commissions. Our rankings are based on objective criteria including interest rates, fees, approval speed, customer reviews, and product features—not commission amounts.

Responsible Lending

We actively promote responsible borrowing practices. Our content emphasises the importance of borrowing within your means, understanding loan terms, and seeking financial counselling when needed.

How We Work

1We Compare ASIC-Licensed Lenders

Every lender on our platform holds a valid Australian Credit Licence (ACL) issued by ASIC. We verify licence status regularly and immediately remove any lenders who lose their authorisation or fail to meet compliance standards.

2You Choose Based on Your Needs

Our comparison tools help you filter lenders by interest rate, loan amount, term length, fees, approval speed, and customer ratings. We provide detailed product information, eligibility criteria, and representative examples so you can make informed decisions.

3Apply Directly with Lenders

When you find a suitable loan, you apply directly with the lender—not through us. This ensures your application is processed according to the lender's responsible lending obligations, including proper affordability assessments and suitability checks.

4We Earn Commission, Not Fees from You

Loan Platform Australia is free for consumers. We earn commissions from lenders when you successfully complete an application. Importantly, these commissions do not affect your interest rate or loan terms— you receive the same offers whether you come through our platform or go directly to the lender.

Our Ranking Methodology

Lenders are ranked using an objective, weighted scoring system based on the following criteria:

Interest Rates & Fees (40%)

Base interest rates, comparison rates, establishment fees, monthly fees, and early repayment fees.

Product Features (25%)

Loan amount range, term flexibility, repayment options, extra repayment allowances, redraw facilities.

Approval Speed & Process (20%)

Average approval time, online application availability, document requirements, settlement speed.

Customer Experience (15%)

Verified customer reviews, complaint resolution, AFCA complaints data, customer service quality.

Commission amounts do not influence rankings. We may earn higher commissions from some lenders, but this does not affect their position in our comparison tables.
