Rate Money enters the Queensland home-loan market with a bang

Written by Kate Hughes | 3 September 2024

Rate Money, Australia’s home for the self-employed, is excited to announce its expansion into the $156 billion Queensland home loan market with the opening of three branches in Aspley, Fortitude Valley, and Logan. This marks Rate Money's entry into the Sunshine State.

Rate Money CEO Ryan Gair said, "Our entry into Queensland is a significant milestone for Rate Money, and we're incredibly proud to welcome Julie, Nicole, Sida, and their teams to the Rate Money crew. These franchisees bring decades of experience in the lending industry and a deep understanding of the needs of self-employed borrowers. They are seasoned professionals who have successfully run their businesses, and their expertise will be invaluable as we continue to grow in this vibrant market. We’re proud to be evolving the lending landscape. Our latest product offerings, including our one-year tax return product and Elevate easy doc construction product, demonstrate our commitment to providing flexible and accessible lending solutions to meet the needs of the hardworking 300,000 strong self-employed Queensland workforce.”

Rate Money’s expansion into Queensland comes when the state is experiencing a surge in construction, particularly in the sub $1.5 million segment, a key area of focus for the new branches.

“Our no clawback and no risk fees policies will be crucial in providing certainty for our Queensland self-employed heroes and our award-setting standards for customer service.” Mr Gair said.

All three branches are now open and ready for business, with Rate Money poised to impact Queensland significantly.

“We recently achieved a significant milestone in our growth journey, with $8 billion in loans written since inception in 2019, with $4.5 billion achieved in just the past 24 months. But this is just the beginning. We will continue to evolve and are committed to offering more innovative products and services that meet the unique needs of our customers," added Mr Gair.
