Why choose Expat Loans?

Expat loans are designed to ease the financial challenges Australian expats face living and earning overseas. Particularly for those earning in Tier Two currencies, traditional lending methods might no longer be as accessible or advantageous.

First, traditional banks tend to view foreign income as high risk – a stance that can hinder borrowing potential. A classic way lenders mitigate this risk is by considering only 60-80% of your gross income, which can significantly lower the amount you qualify for.

However, expat loans can help you overcome this obstacle. They are crafted to acknowledge and work with your unique circumstances, making it possible for you to secure loan amounts that reflect your real-world earnings.

Additionally, any fluctuations in the exchange rate won’t affect your loan. Regardless of how the Australian Dollar performs against your earning currency, your loan terms remain unchanged. This adds a level of stability that is not typically present with traditional loans.

From Application to Approval

The Expat Loan process

Commencing your journey towards obtaining an expat loan is more manageable than it might initially appear – especially when seasoned professionals like us at Strategic Brokers guide you every step of the way. Here, we shall acquaint you with the typical process of securing an expat loan.

Understanding your financial situation

The first trigger is understanding your financial situation and determining how much you can afford to borrow. Lenders may only consider 60% to 80% of your gross income as an Australian expat earning income in Tier Two currencies. Our role involves assisting you in deciphering the finer aspects, ensuring you have a clear picture of your borrowing capacity.

Initial Consultation

Established your borrowing limit

Once we've established your borrowing limit, the next course of action involves choosing the right type of loan that aligns best with your lifestyle and projected financial blueprint. Fixed or variable rate? Interest-only or principal and interest? We help provide information to unravel these choices, enabling you to make an informed decision.

Documentation and Application

Loan application

The following stage is the loan application itself. This will entail collecting all relevant information and documentation lenders require to process your loan application. Although this process can often prove to be complex and tedious, with Strategic Brokers at your side, you'll accomplish this with minimal stress.

Lender Negotiation and Pre Approval Amount

Submit your application

After you submit your application, lenders will conduct a thorough assessment of your financial situation, credit history, and overall application. Upon successful evaluation, we take the final step – loan approval.
