Wiszr also plans to make the secured personal loan available directly to consumers in the coming months, as part of its strategy to offer more choice and support Australians in achieving their personal and financial goals. ”Brokers have consistently asked us for a secured personal loan product, and we’ve delivered,” said Nicole Evans, head of broker at Wisr. “This launch reflects our commitment to building products that best serve brokers and their clients” she added. “It also highlights Wisr’s focus on deepening relationships with our broker partners and ensuring they have the tools and products they need to succeed.”
Australian brokers have long been vocal about the need for a secured personal loan product that provides flexibility and security for their clients. Wisr has responded to this demand with a product that meets the requirements of the sector. While the new product is still in its initial stages, Wisr plans to expand its lending suite further in the coming months. Key Highlights
• Wisr has launched a secured personal loan for the broker channel
• Loan amounts up to $65,000 (including fees) are available
• Borrowers can secure their loan with an already-owned vehicle
• Higher LVRs and broader eligibility than traditional secured vehicle loans
In his new role, Harding will oversee operational strategy and delivery across Wisr’s personal loan and secured vehicle loan units, while driving key transformation initiatives to support the company’s long-term growth ambitions.
