Great ongoing service

I have been a Home loan customer of Pepper Money for sometime now and one of the things I really like about Pepper is that over the last few years they have worked with me to keep my interest rate competitive. Great customer service!

Made life easy!

The entire relationship was perfect, the loan was sanctioned Just in time. Documentation was not fussy, and straightforward. Costs were as per the market standard, and though I was worried about the due date for settlement, the process was good and done prior to the deadline.

Home loan heaven

When the struggle is lifted finally

We had had been refused and knocked back by our big 4 lender several times and even mortgage brokers were reluctant to help us. We never once said we were perfect and new we had some past credit issues but they shouldn't have held us back from reaching our financial goal.

Jarrod, Goulburn Valley
