Specialist self-employed lender enters NSW South Coast

Written by Kate Hughes | 15 September 2024

Rate Money, Australia’s home for the self-employed, is excited to announce its expansion into the South Coast home loan market with the opening of its branch in Nowra today. The branch will serve the broader South Coast communities of Kiama, Nowra, Ulladulla and Batemans Bay, bringing specialised lending solutions to self-employed residents across the region.

Co-Principals Matt Cooney and Scott Morton bring over 50 years of financial services experience. Having most recently held senior franchisee roles for RAMS Southern Highlands and the South Coast, both possess a deep understanding of the unique needs of the region’s self-employed business owners. 

Rate Money, South Coast Co-Principal Matt Cooney said, "I am excited to continue connecting with the vibrant business communities in the greater Shoalhaven City and South Coast. Having worked and lived in the area, I deeply understand the needs of self-employed borrowers in the region.”

Rate Money’s entry into the NSW South Coast comes at a time of significant growth in the local housing market, including new land releases in Cambewarra, South Nowra and Sussex Inlet. The new branch will focus on delivering Rate Money’s innovative products, including the one-year tax return product and the newly released Elevate easy doc construction product, designed to offer flexibility and accessibility to the self-employed workforce.

“We are committed to providing everyday home loan options for self-employed and PAYG residents, ensuring they can pursue their homeownership goals without unnecessary stress.” Mr Cooney said.  

Since opening its doors in 2019, Rate Money has helped over 8,000 self-employed Australians realise their dream of home ownership, with over $8 billion in total loans, across 38 Rate Money branches nationwide. 

With the opening of the Nowra and Mittagong branches, Rate Money continues to strengthen its presence across New South Wales. It offers specialised services to self-employed Australians who often face challenges with traditional lending options.
