Creditworthy borrowers. Structural barriers. A better pathway.
APRA regulation excludes thousands of creditworthy Australians from bank lending every year. Non-bank lenders are exempt from these constraints and serve the borrowers that banks are structurally prohibited from helping.
Three regulatory barriers, not credit failures.
These are permanent structural constraints in the banking system. They do not reflect your creditworthiness. They reflect the rules banks are required to follow.
Full regulatory comparisonAPRA debt-to-income cap
From February 2026, banks cannot issue more than 20% of new mortgages at DTI ratios above 6x. If you hold investment properties and your total debt exceeds six times your gross income, most banks will decline regardless of your repayment history or asset position. Non-bank lenders are not subject to this cap.
Serviceability buffer
Banks must assess your ability to repay at a rate 3 percentage points above the actual loan rate. On a 6% mortgage, the bank tests you at 9%. Non-bank lenders apply a lower buffer, typically 1-2 percentage points, materially increasing your borrowing capacity on the same income.
Income verification requirements
Banks require payslips or two years of tax returns. If you are self-employed, your declared taxable income often understates your actual earning capacity. Non-bank lenders accept accountant declarations, BAS statements, and business bank statements as income evidence.
Specialist origination, not a comparison site.
Structured scenario assessment
Not a generic enquiry form. The assessment adapts to your employment type, income structure, credit history, and property objective to produce a specific pathway analysis.
Cross-lender policy matching
We maintain current credit policy knowledge across the full non-bank panel. Your scenario is matched to the lenders whose policies fit, not just the lenders we happen to know.
Submission-quality packaging
Every application is policy pre-checked, document-verified, and submitted with a written scenario narrative. This reduces lender back-and-forth and accelerates assessment.
No cost to you
The lender pays Anbi a standard origination commission on settlement. You pay nothing directly. If your loan does not settle, nobody pays anything.

To settlementThe spectrum is wider than you think.
Property investors above the APRA DTI cap. Self-employed owners whose income does not fit a payslip. Borrowers with a resolved default from three years ago. New permanent residents building their Australian credit profile. Construction projects that need drawdown management. SMSF trustees acquiring investment property.
Every one of these borrowers has been turned away by a major bank this year. Every one of them has a non-bank pathway. The difference is knowing where to look and having the documentation structured correctly.
