Useless Mortgage Brokers
Had a refinance application through these guys. Waste of 4 months. The broker's phone just went straight to voicemail every time. Poor communication. Didn't get my application processed for 2 months. When asked for update, every time I was told "We are still waiting to hear from the lender". They dragged this for another 2 months. Broker gave crap stories like "My manager is talking to ING's national manager to get an update", as if we don't know they have a dedicated broker's assistance team which can at least give an update and reason of delay. Do yourself a favor guys, and apply elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Lendi
5 weeks in and we still don't know if a simple refinance will go ahead even after Lendi banker advises things to do, to have it approved, and we're still waiting for a response. It's been a pretty poor experience. My recommendation is see your existing bank and advise them your looking to refinance for $$$ etc amount and see if they can match it. Done in 5 minutes... Lendi.... 5 weeks and still can't advise on outcome but requests you to adjust other banking & still can't get it finalised... Unfortunately, and I really mean unfortunately (as I've used other brokers), I just can't recommend them.

Unfortunately, I had no end of issues with Lendi throughout my loan application process. I had to consistently follow up to ensure items were completed. Lendi provided false and misleading information on numerous occasions, including from both the brokers manager and also the senior sales manager.
I only decided to go with a broker as I am extremely time poor due to work and family commitments.

Read morehouse I had purchased due to Lendi. Lendi continuously refused to escalate our loan application even though it was a purchase settlement and I submitted our application before making an offer on a house, on top of this, I also allowed an extended 21 days for finance giving a total of over 25 days to organise finance. Lendi never took any responsibility for their shortcomings and continuously blamed the lender. After extensive discussions with the head of credit for the lender, they advised that all the information I had been provided by Lendi had been incorrect. Further to this, the senior sales manager, [Name Removed] really needs to take some courses in how to speak with customers, he was extremely arrogant and had absolutely no empathy for our situation.1 comment

Not a pleasant experience
In the beginning process was fine but service got bad around the settlement time. Even after number of reminders and follow ups nothing got changed and the experience overall was unpleasant.

Very poor
Spoke to a customer service representative for almost three hours on the phone. Scanned all my documents through and was rejected because I receive a TAC (transport accident commission) wage because of my husband recently passing away. This wage is consistent until my children at least finish Secondary School. At the moment my children are 1 and 3 years old. I owe very little on my mortgage and only wanted to get a better interest rate. The person I spoke to in the credit department was very rude.

Poor response times
Our experience initially with Lendi was incredible. The person we spoke was very helpful, clearly knowledge and set what seemed like a realistic response time and process to refinancing and applying for a new loan. However we were told that the next step would be reviewing and finalising our submission 2-3 business days after our last conversation, it’s now been over 2 weeks with nothing. I have emailed, used their platform to send messages to the relevant broker and rung twice to leave a message, where the representative promised I would have my call returned. Really disappointing considering what was our initial experience!!!

Broker was really nice but unable to be effective when dealing with a lender issue, and the company could not/did not pre-empt the problem or have the means to solve it, and now I’m out of pocket for a series of delays. Very disappointing experience after what had been a promising start.

Would never recommend these idiots
Lender told us that, despite a couple of late payments, we would be fine with a loan as she spoke to her relationship manager at the bank that she chose to go with and he said it would go through. After multiple stuff ups and constantly having to resubmit documents that I already had submitted, the loan was knocked back and the lender's response was "I tried as hard as I could". Now I am left without a loan and nowhere to live as we have sold our property and are exchanging in a week. THANKS LENDI - NEVER AGAIN.

Comedy of errors but not funny
I've used Lendi twice now and both times there was error after error causing extended delays. I went back the 2nd time because my current lender advised I had to because they referred me the 1st time. From issuing loan documents for the incorrect amount, constantly having to chase updates and being punted around to multiple different staff members it was an absolute joke. The bad service caused weeks of delays to the commencement of my home renovations, inconveniencing my family and my builder. Will not use them again and will not recommend to anyone.

Worst experience
Too many errors and not kept informed worst experience ever, Lucky I had a good conveyancer
Applied 22/4/20 finally settled 7/8/20.
I was under the impression Brokers were to take the stress out of home purchasers, the stress created was huge.

Mistake after Mistake
I applied for a refinance investment portfolio loan in February 2020 it finally settled in July 2020, the whole process was poor and mistake after mistake with incorrect documents being sent out time and time again, the lender offered a interest rate in writing and then tried to back out of it, it took months to get this resolved.
I have an excellent credit history a significant amount of security and perfect repayment record this should have been a piece of cake, but it was the worst lending experience of my life, I was very disappointed in ...
Read morethis whole ordeal. [Name Removed] from Lendi even stated that I shouldn't go with one of the others like State Custodians or U Bank with first discussions because they will not provide the customer service and that Lendi offers and we are so much easier and much more professional to deal with, well if this is a example of what good is suppose to look like then I will eat my hat. The only saving grace was a lady called [Name Removed] in Lendi who was also frustrated about the internal issues encountered and was a blessing to deal with, very professional and finally got things resolved so the loan could settle, but still today I am trying to find out why settlement costs became more than what was disclosed, so make sure you understand and get this all in writing. I have completed many lender loans over my life with all sorts of institutions but this is the worst i have experienced and I wouldn't recommend them.1 comment

Absolutely waste of time
Customer service [name removed] appeared to be so helpful and eager to assist at the beginning, Too good to be true, he asked for numerous documents and statement literally all finance history and banking details and affordability, name it ... but not once, over and over again because he delays so it has to be updated from one pay cycle to another. Doesn’t return call or email excusing birthday or family commitment and all crap. So to make you give up.

Not a good service
My broker provided inaccurate information on a few occasions, was very slow to follow up on requests, and did not advise me on next steps. Fortunately, i had a good conveyancing firm that helped me know what to ask my broker and what should be happening. Really a bad experience.

Very bad experience and will not use Lendi again
We signed up Lendi to help us with our home loan. The communication between us and the agent was very poor. No support and no clarity in what was happening with our application. The agent was never straight forward. We used his advice to put an offer on a house. In spite of asking him a number of times to get a pre-approval, he ignored our pleas. I wrote him an email asking for if there will be a problem if we put an offer. He advised that he had spoken to the BDM and said he was sure we could go ahead. We believe his words and decided to put a...
Read moren offer for a house. We did ask him about how much we could borrow to narrow down our search. We ended up putting an offer and tried to contact him about it. I wrote numerous emails asking him to contact us and also informed him of the offer. We never received any response. We received an email from the agent one day before the cooling off and he just said sorry and that he will look in to it. I was very scared in losing the initial deposit and asked him if he was confident in getting a loan. He advised that he doesn't see a problem. We extended the cooling off period. Again, there was no communication or messages. I was getting worried and wrote numerous emails asking him for an update. We asked the vendor if we could extend the cooling off period for a few more days and on the second last day before the cooling off period, the broker wrote an email saying that the application will take time and he wanted us to retract the lendi loan application. We have now last the initial deposit and has been a very harsh lesson. I would never use Lendi again and will certainly not recommend them to any of my friends. I replied to his email expressing my disappointment and received an email saying that the mail was not delivered. All I ask fellow people is to be aware of the loan process before approaching a broker.it is best to do your research and never trust anyone.1 comment

Scammers !!! Stay away
guess they are big time scammers trying to get your personal information.
This was the first time I dealt with them . .
I sent an online enquiry to refinance my existing home loan . They were quick to get back to me and organise a valuation done . I was contacted by a person named [Name Removed] .
Post Valuation, I have been unable to get to them for an update . I have Tried and contacted them via email , direct phone Of the agent and their general number .
The agents phone goes directly to voice mail . When I contact the general number they take down my details and never get back to me .
Worst experience ever and never going to go ahead with them even if I get the beat offer as their service is appalling.

Thank you, we've sent you a private message already and can see you have responded to us, we'll be in contact with you regarding this as soon as possible.
Frustrating Process. Constantly Ignored. Unprofessional service.
Process started off brilliantly with constant, clear communication....then Lendi dropped the ball and the process ended up taking 2 months! I didn't get the rate I was offered. My emails and phone calls were being ignored because they "forgot" or were "busy with other clients". Extremely unprofessional

Customer service not very good, loads of promises and deliver little. I was made to feel excited about the prospect of a better mortgage and then let down with no result. Rang to enquire about progress and got different person, knew nothing about my loan and sounded disinterested.

5-6 Months on!!!
Approached Lendi to refinance my house and debts, December last year thought they would be great, but had nothing but issues with them.
The lack of knowledge regarding what paperwork is required and the lack of communication between broker and customer has been disgraceful.
Still getting messages to say our loan is with the loans team for 4 weeks on and further.
If they didn't want to do our loan they should be up front and tell you.
Not sure what they think they are doing?????
Very badly managed.
Even taking into the fact that Covid 19 came about I was able to organise finance through someone else
in just over a month.
All I can say is Wake up Lendi and if you, have sense about finance do not use these people too in experienced!

Hi Lendi Team,
I am writing on behalf of my husband. I feel so bad for him as he keeps calling our Agent but no response. We are waiting for Unconditional Approval from last week Thursday. Two days ago my husband was on a call with Agent regarding some query but after that no communication at all. Now Christmas holiday coming closer and closer we need some kind of Clarification otherwise we would withdraw the application. If someone can contact my husband. ASAP.
Thanks,

I was leaning towards Lendi for a homeloan after seeing the '1877' reviews with the highest stars than any of big 4 banks, just having a feeling that these may not be genuine.
Are you aware of any fake or paid reviews ?

Relationship manager -Lendi
Hey there, thank you for your question. I want to clarify that we are not ourselves a Lender. We work alongside over 35 lenders within the market and have helped thousands of Australians on their home loans. We pride ourself on providing exceptional customer service, hence some of our glowing reviews on Product Review. We do not pay for our reviews nor are our reviews fake. If you would like to know what the hype is about and understand how we can help you, feel free to send us a private message and we would be more than happy to see how we can help.
Hi GKrish,
You should look at "Verified Customer" only. I am a "verified customer" and actually not happy with this company.
Better to use a local agent !
Good luck,
