Rising interest rates and tightening servicing requirements have left many borrowers feeling that traditional home loans are out of reach. As mainstream banks tighten their policies, a new era of specialist lending is moving into the mainstream through non-bank lenders, such as Brighten.

With more Australians managing multiple income streams, trust structures, and side businesses, the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to lending is breaking down.

Joining host Annie Kane, Azzopardi highlights how Brighten's broad product suite - encompassing full-doc, alt-doc, non-resident, construction and bridging finance as well as commercial lending, SMSF loans, and reverse mortgages - allows brokers to secure higher borrowing capacities and faster execution.
