HSBC Australia has signed a distribution agreement with online home loan platform Lendi and launched a new rate of 3.17% p.a. as it seeks to continue growing its share of the Australian mortgage market.

From today, customers will be able to access HSBC’s comprehensive range of basic and fully featured home loans through Lendi’s online platform.

Alice Del Vecchio, Head of Distribution for Retail Banking and Wealth Management at HSBC Australia said, “Mortgage brokers have generated a significant proportion of new home loans since 2017, when we signed our first broker partnership. Our competitive interest rates and ability to deal with complex client scenarios have been two of the factors underpinning the success we’ve had with brokers and customers alike.”

“We’ve become a significant lender for each of our broker partners, and we have the same expectation for our new partnership with Lendi,” Ms Del Vecchio said.

“We work with thousands of borrowers every week to make sure they have access to the best home loan products available to suit their needs and we’re thrilled to have HSBC join our panel of more than 37 lenders,” said David Hyman, Co-founder and Managing Director at Lendi.

“We’re confident customers using Lendi’s online platform – whether they’re looking to get on the property ladder, considering an investment property or refinancing to help pay for renovations – will benefit from now having access to our range of home loans,” Ms Del Vecchio said.
