Into our 4th month and finally we might see light
Into our 4th month and finally we might see lighr...our manager got us good rates and then we never heard from him again apart from an email blaming the other bank. Their specialists then told me to contact Adelaide Bank as Lendi were only the middle men and not responsible for organising the discharge papers. Great, you contract a supposed mortgage broker and you have to do the work yourself. If I had my time again I would NEVER touch this sham of a company. [Name Removed] you should be ashamed of yourself for not keeping your promise in following through and assisting.

Can you answer me as to why, as your specialist, Tammi, said to me on Friday 29th November, that "the bank could not possibly do the the refinancing of the loan at the end of the month as they were at...
Read more capacity and could not do any more loans." Why was this not conveyed to me. Given that the forms had been filled out and have been put in the post on November 11, and on November 13, Simon advised me that, "The lender has received the signed docs and will have them verified within 2 business days " Then on 22nd November he advised me that ING now that they have accepted the discharge and ING advised that they are still processing the discharge form which will take 3-5 business days.Relationship manager -Lendi

Privacy issues
I wanted to enquire for a loan, but got contacted by too many different staff members who are not informed about the already given details, so I went with a traditional bank.
I haven't submit the loan application, so I asked Lendi to delete all my collect datas. They only can do it AFTER 7 YEARS. Its the first time I hear about such a long time. Not happy about the whole experience at all. For me time waste.

Nice people but terrible customer service
The online process was quick and easy, but when it came to having to actually speak and deal with their 'experts' it has been a very long drawn out process, and I have pulled plug after 2 weeks of them telling me we will call you tomorrow, and each day there is no phone call. I will get an email, sorry we will call tomorrow, and again no call. So I have had enough and going elsewhere.

Initial contact good. Had to resubmit paperwork too many times. Too many calls from various staff about same thing. Lack of communication within Lendi staff. Upon settlement didnt even get the loan setup as requested. 1 month on and still not setup correctly. Lendi blames bank and vice versa. Me the customer stuck in limbo.

Terrible Customer Service - SLOW SLOW SLOW!
Initial contact was very good and the process seemed to be quite easy however once the pre-approval application was submitted to the chosen bank it has been downhill since.
Had to resubmit the same information on 3 occasions.
Huge delay in responses to phone calls and emails. Last contact 3 weeks ago.
Was told the process of pre- approval takes 2-15 days; 6 weeks later we are still waiting and have no idea what is going on.
Your chosen bank don't communicate with you only refer you back to Lendi.
There was one afternoon when a broker rang my n...

Slow very slow
Great initial contact and fact finding by team.
However after three weeks I am still awaiting their preferred bank mortgage approval.
Have chased a number of time, re-loaded information, and no delays from my end in terms of uploading documents etc.
Its sad that they cant back up an initial excellent service.
In future I will go elsewhere and indeed might seek alternative funder pre-settlement.
I would recommend that unless you have plenty of time (three month settlement in mind), you shop for a broker elsewhere

Garbage and a complete waste of time!
Lendi promises the world and delivers NOTHING!
We wanted to complete a house build and as a self employed Builder with an incomplete build we knew that things might be difficult, although we only wanted to borrow a relatively small amount and consolidate another small loan.
Lendi assured us that they could accommodate this and were very positive.
This was where the joy ended.
Being dragged along with falsities for months, with ongoing paperwork submissions and vague communication, we finally had conditional approval, with the current works and...

Save yourself some trouble and go straight to the bank!
Our initial meeting with the Sunshine Coast Lendi rep was good and the pre-approval process was straight forward (hence the 2 stars). However once the contract was signed we had nothing but delays, excuses and terrible customer service. Our rep [Name Removed] would not answer calls or respond to texts on the day finance was due and the whole situation was extremely stressful. I would now never recommend a mortgage broker to anyone and wish I'd known what a waste of time this would be. As our loan was with Nab anyway the whole process would have been 100 times easier if we had simply approached the bank ourselves. Lendi agents are just unnecessary middlemen profiting of your home purchase. Learn from our mistake and don't bother!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
Lendi has been disappointing from day one. I submitted for loan approval after I have signed up the contract. The real estate has given us 3 weeks to get the approval. The next day I submitted all the required documents and from there on they only submitted loan to P&N Bank after a week. Then the wait started, until the last day of finance approval they did not contacted me regarding the finance process. Therefore I have to extend the finace approval date for another week, waited again no response, in the process false promises and keep asking ...
Read moreme repeat documents come last day of finance, asked for another one week extention. By this time the seller was also getting worried and this lendi representative assured her that it will be approved that they are just taking time but promised that the application is solid and that it will be approved.Waited again.. and then after waiting 5 weeks, we got the answer that the loan is not servicable and the application has been declined. Very disappointing that after taking this long they came to the conclusion that this application is not succesful. In the process I have spent $550 on building and termite inspection. I reckon the Lendi broker was not qualified enough to access the aplication before handing over to the bank. In the end I asked him for decline letter from the bank to submit it to real estate agend to get my refund but that also I am not sure,if ia m going to get. Its been 3 days now but no response. Not happy with lendi and also with P&N Bank.1 comment

Big hassle, terrible after sales services and they don't check on unauthorised deductions made
My loans have been settled through Lendi weeks ago but there have been unauthorized charges not being picked up by the broker before the settlement. When I first ask about the charges, they asked me to wait for the bank final schedule of payment and don't bother to check if they were valid or not. Seems like they don't bother to check if the banks are making correct transactions before settlement. Out of the 2 loans, one had an unknown of 6k!+deduction and the other with 1.4k+. The 6k+ has been returned without any valid explanation only after...
Read more multiple email exchanges which I just let it go since now ihave gotten back my money But now they are simply not getting back to me on the 1.46k or at least explain to me on if it is a valid charge. Don't understand why they would take more than 2 weeks and still not figure out, and not retuning my money. Calls have been unanswered (calls went to voice mails ALL THE TIME or messages left on voice mails not answered). Emails responses have been tardy...and eventually if responded, only said they are investigating. Even before the settlement. I find that the amount of administrative work required doubles what I had to deal with when I were liaising directly with banks previously. If I decided to make changes due to change in market circumstances when the loans haven not been signed off, I was told that that I have to pay to make changes to the contracts that I did not have a chance to vet through before they submitted to the banks. I have previously refinanced with banks directly and find the whole process so much less hassle and much more responsive. Lendi did not put in the credit card application for me as part of the bank package and now told me that I have to cancel all my other credit cards before I can apply for one. I has asked them before how do we go about setting up the credit card before I cancel the others but you guess it, no response! What is the point of a broker if I have to handle everything myself? I can't follow up with the banks directly on the discrepancy now as the banks always referred me back to the broker. i now have to leave a (bad bad bad) review hoping for a final resolution. This experience left a very bad taste for me in terms of using brokers. Please don't go with one if you can as they only care about you getting loans through them, although their sales pitch is that they will look out for you even after this transaction. They followed up quite frequently with me when the loans were not being put through yet but now? I am out of pocket for no reason and they have decided that it is ok for me to be out of pocket for weeks when I could have put that sum to other use like getting new furniture or to offset my loans!1 comment

The worst customer experience!
Signed up with the company in 2019 - Jan called them multiple times and asked how my application was going. Was told some one will call me back. Finally received a call in August!
There was no communication on the settlement. I had requested for a specfic settlement date for my two properties and was assured that this was going to happen. Post settlement was not given those dates and was asked to deal with all the issues by myself.
One escalating the issue Manager calls to apologise but no further action is take!.

Slow to respond and get back to us
I spent a lot of time uploading documents to Lendi, we had the worst experience with one of the senior brokers. She made appointments with us 3 times, once she was late (benefit of the doubt), second appointment she forgot and then blamed traffic (ok sure), 3rd time she said she would call after 3pm no follow up (it's been a week). Each time it was me chasing here.

Rude and pushy!
Very unhappy with the lack of professionalism I experienced. I started the online process during my lunch break at work but didn't finish. Within 10 minutes I had a very pushy consultant from Lendi on the phone. He was quite rude when I said I couldn't talk because I was at work and I had to eventually hang up on him so I could get to a meeting. He rang again several days later, quite early in the morning. Made a number of statements that were quite contradictory compared to statements he had made during the previous call and again was very pushy. When we are ready to refinance we won't go through Lendi to do so!!

Customer Service experience
It took nearly 4 months for the refinance of my home loan to happen. I was most disappointed in the service I recieved. The consultant was asking for the same information time and time again. No one would get back to me, I was not able to get anyone on the phone. Even when we got to the settlement date, this was changed 3 times. I am extremely angry and disappointed in the service I received.

Broker keeps coming back for bits of information. This was meant to be a simple exercise, however has blown out unnecessarily. Supplied the last of the request information over a week ago, and have had no acknowledgement and no further information of status of loan despite being previously advised "we were 95% there". Will be having to take my business elsewhere , as this appears to be in the dead stop lane.

I'm refinancing my current home loan and placed my application early July. Today is the 7th Aug 2019 and even though my application has been unconditionally approved, I still haven't received an official settlement date!!!! Stop asking me to providing more screenshots or documentation as it seems like a delay tactic. Seriously get your act together! If I knew it would take this long, I would of went directly to the bank!!
If you are reading this, don't be fooled by the ratings here. Yes the customer service is great but can they provide the service when it really matters? [Name Removed] has been terrible! No return call no email! Lift up your game else I will raise a formal complain with the appropriate body!

Never again
My loan took five months to settle. The communication between the Lendi staff was appalling. I was sent the wrong documents. Asked to send the same documents to different staff members who were disorganised and didn’t seem to know who was doing what. Your staff need some serious retraining. No recommendations from me...never again. Please review my phone calls which were “recorded for quality assurance purposes” and emails.

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.

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,
