Private Mortgages Australia secures $100M institutional backing

Funding enables larger loan amounts and more competitive interest rates

An independent wholesale funder has committed to investing up to $100 million with specialist commercial mortgage manager Private Mortgages Australia to fund its portfolio of registered first mortgage loans secured by Australian property.

The investment will enable PMA to grow the number of loans they are able to service and will see the maximum loan amount increase from $2 million to $10 million on registered first mortgages. It has also allowed PMA to offer more competitive interest rates with their base rate now at 9% per annum for applicable loans.

“We expect that the changes to loan amounts and interest rates will attract a wider pool of borrowers and will help grow the business exponentially in the next few years,” said Barbone. “More and more of our referrers are coming to us looking for a more flexible lending solutions after their clients haven’t been able to obtain funding from the banks, so it’s great that we will be able to help even more of them now.”

Private Mortgages Australia, which specialises in short-term loans for small-to-medium businesses, has recently seen a marked increase in the number of borrowers coming to them for finance after being turned down by the banks. This funding will help the national lender to accelerate the growth of its lending business to Australian SMEs and developers.

“Receiving this level of backing is a landmark achievement for Private Mortgages Australia, our borrowers and referrers,” said PMA Managing Director, Tony Barbone. “Our backers clearly believe we are a leader in this space and have confidence in our business model to provide fast and flexible finance to our SME and developer clients. We’re just about to celebrate our fifth year in operation and are excited to have the opportunity to further build the business and deliver even better products and service to our clients.”
