Mortgage Broker Solutions for Personal Loans

The solution to date for many mortgage brokers, especially since the introduction of BID, has been to “tick and flick” the client to a consumer asset finance broker and earn a referral fee. Giving control of that client and future personal loan transactions to another broker.

A quick summary of BID

BID was introduced for mortgage brokers on 1 January 2021. It essentially enforces brokers to act with greater consideration toward the interests of consumers. 

While much of this is grounded in the need to explain the pros and cons of a loan product to the consumer, the finer details can make meeting these guidelines complex when it comes to personal loans. 

BID and mortgage brokers

On paper, BID can seem to be just about rates and repayments. Many might think the cheapest car loan is the best car loan, but the reality is that this statement isn’t always true. 

One simple example of this is found in early repayments. Where your client is looking to acquire a car loan and repay the entire amount early, this consideration can make a cheaper car loan unsuitable if the lender charges very high fees for early payout. 

This is just one small example of how BID compliance can make offering personal loans a headache not worth the effort considering the remuneration scheme.
