Customer Story - Josef

Here are experiences of our real-life customers

Life can throw unexpected challenges that can make your dreams of buying a home feel unachievable.

Josef and his wife are a real-life example. They wanted to buy a home after moving to Australia – but their financial situation led to the banks saying no to their home loan application. That’s when they came to talk to us.

With determination and support, Josef and his family found a property, and their dream of buying a home became a reality1.

"Pepper Money, I feel like they shared their concern and experience, and then they made things happen. There’s more flexibility and consideration."

We got to know their situation in detail and the people behind the application. We looked beyond just credit scores and with the support of our flexible home loan options we found a way to make it work.

 

Josef: We've always wanted to have our own home ever since we moved into Australia. But we encountered financial hardships and then we found this really good property, exactly the place that we want. 

You know, the big banks they won't even look at my application. Pepper Money was very helpful. They made things happen. Before I knew it, we were settling. 

We made it through the help of Pepper Money so I'm ecstatic.

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.

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
