Unpacking the lender policies changing the game

Lenders are increasingly looking beyond interest rates to stand out, with new policies and product innovations reshaping the options available to borrowers. But what do these changes actually mean for brokers and their clients?

Join Broker Daily's Julian Barnes with Finni brokers Costa Arvanitopoulos and Rebecca Carlson as they unpack the latest lender policy changes, including Liberty becoming the first non-bank to join the 5 per cent Deposit Scheme, AMP's new 40-year investor loan, the growing competition in SMSF refinancing, and ASIC's findings into widespread mortgage offset account failures.

The team also discusses what softer auction clearance rates and falling home values are really saying about the property market, why investors are pivoting towards new strategies rather than sitting on the sidelines, and what the latest trends mean for brokers navigating an evolving lending landscape.
