New customer but so far so good. Staff understand what I need and answer queries on subjects I'm not familiar with. Great customer service. The rate for this loan is about on par with other lenders in the same tier but I think Pepper Money is easier to communicate with. Show reply

Disappointing Post-Settlement Experience – Poor System Integration & Support "We recently refinanced multi-property home loans through Pepper Money, expecting a professional non-bank lending experience. While the pre-settlement approval process was reasonable, the post-settlement customer support and onboarding systems have been completely… Read more

unacceptable.

Immediately following settlement, we encountered systemic issues setting up basic online account access. Access credentials and access links failed to function, leaving us with zero visibility over our accounts, balances, or sub-account features. Despite filling out and returning required paperwork (including Business Access Nomination forms) and contacting customer support multiple times, the resolution process has been agonizingly slow and repetitive.

When managing trust-held investment properties, instant portal access and transparent financial management are non-negotiable. Being left completely in the dark after loan settlement while jumping through endless administrative hoops shows a major gap between Pepper’s sales front and their post-settlement operations.

If you are refinancing complex multi-property or trust portfolios, be prepared for severe administrative friction and poor post-settlement portal access."

As a 1st home buyer we were with “Click Loan comes under Pepper Money HL” for 7x years until present Sep 2026 After 2x years had a work place injury & was unable to work By God’s grace managed to repay the HL without any delay until present Twice a year we were eligible for a “Rate Review Reduction” & they granted us without any delay In Sep… Read more

2026 we were eligible for a another “Rate Review Reduction” unfortunately it was declined

We were very disappointed with their outcome Pls see 3x attachments

There is an incident happening since few years ago until present & in near future

According to Jesus teachings & preachings “rich should help the poor” which is not happening, due this I have encountered several VIP’s are dying with various conditions unable to enjoy their rich lifestyle including my wealthy uncle

In future pls be careful with these dodgy Lenders

They maybe very promising & encouraging but full of nonsense in their evil minds & v-greedy pumping money into their bank accounts

Something like “walk to walk - talk to talk”

God bless good people from evil bad people

Stay away if you do not want to be overcharged – ****Approach only if it is your last resort.***** I have requested to pay off my loan amount on 19th March and till date i do not have a payout. I called them after a week on 28th since my request and then only my process was supposedly expedited. Got an email from their lawyer on same day but no payout figure even then. Called up again and spoke… Read more

to the Manager today - The manager asked me to contact their lawyer as if the lawyers are under my payroll and they will follow my instructions. Their official comment is "processing time is 15-21 business days" which is a guise to charge you interest for an additional month which is a total ripoff. So as of today 5th Apr , am still liable for interests accumulated for THEIR "PROCESSING TIME"!!. It's not enough that they have made their money over the course of the loan but they need to squeeze you one more time as you go away.! Stick to tier 1 lenders if you can. Have discharged couple of loans over the last 10 years and never have had such a RIPOFF!

Just got an update. Lawyer is scheduling settlement on 18th Apr - Literally 1 month since my request.

They Delayed settlement for my refinance to charge more Interest – Warning. Do not consider Pepper money for a home loan, They charge one of the highest interest rates at 7.24% they also charge and admin fee monthly on top of that. I warned them that I will refinance if they do not reduce the rate. I refinanced with westpac who gave me a rate of 6.45 and approved my home loan in 1 day. Pepper then withheld… Read more

discharge so they could make extra interest from me and also charged a discharge of $500 plus lawyers fees. Ii asked them to remit the interest they held onto as a result of thaeir postponing settlement and they refused. I borrowed 280,000 and after 7 months they quoted a payout figure of 280,800. That's after 6 repayments of $933 and 1 of $966 They also kept my redraw of $977 claimed it was used in the payout figure. Do not use pepper money as an option. Pepper has provided a interest remission however the interest of $1,700 must be reduced to $618 for the January interest as must only be calculated until the 11th of January the date the discharge was received by pepper and the repayment must also be prorata until the date the discharge was sent which is again the 11th of January 2024 which would be 681.14. Hence a refund of $1,238.44 plus an interest remission of $1096.78 is to be remitted otherwise this review will remain in place.

I had a simple question about a payout figure but the service was great because they anticipated my needs. Show reply

 Follow-up  · I got the information regarding a pay-out figure but I never heard back from you (despite requesting it) about the supposedly overdue payment in May. It was not over due and I got a second one for the next month. It seems they are automated and come out days after I have paid. I assume they are poorly worded reminders.

My Experience with Pepper Money – A Game Changer for Property Investment After being turned away by multiple banks, I had almost given up on my dream of purchasing an investment property. Every major lender reviewed my application and said no — leaving me frustrated and without options. That all changed when I found Pepper Money. From the very… Read more ·  1

first interaction, the team at Pepper Money took the time to truly understand my situation rather than simply running it through a rigid checklist. Where others saw obstacles, they saw possibility. Their approach was personalised, professional, and refreshingly human. Thanks to Pepper Money, I was successfully funded and was able to purchase my investment property — a milestone I genuinely did not think was achievable after so many rejections. They didn't just provide a loan; they provided an opportunity that has the potential to change my financial future. If you have been knocked back by the big banks and feel like you have run out of options, I cannot recommend Pepper Money highly enough. They are proof that there are lenders out there who are willing to look beyond the surface and back people with real potential. Thank you, Pepper Money. You made the impossible possible.

If bank says no, Pepper money is here to help. You guy did it, what you said

I had reservations about using them as I used to refer business as a car dealer for retail clients wanting car finance to Pepper many years ago,and there were instances where I felt they were not decent based on my interactions with them.

Borrowed a substantial amount, Interest rates a bit higher (But Fair) but then again if you’re not a full doc conforming customer they are absolutely the best of a bad bunch if I may put it that way. I looked at the others. They provided an opportunity where the banks were too rigid. Would use them again (only if I had to) due to a higher rate but based on insider information given by people in the industry they strongly recommended against many other non prime lenders and there aren’t many. They tend to screw you post settlement as rates go down, but Pepper hasn’t. Never thought I wouldn’t refinance elsewhere 12 months after settlement, but have to say happy to stay on. Highly recommend Pepper if circumstances mean you can’t or don’t wish to go to one of the big 4 banks. Gotta give them credit when it’s due. My experience only DYOR.

BRILLIANT & EASY!!! – Simply brilliant!! I tried about six different lenders & two mortgage brokers to try & refinance my home loan & I just couldn't find anyone that was willing to help me out. I have an excellent credit rating & have ALWAYS paid off my loans/credit debts on time. I even paid more into my home loan than the minimum required payments, but my earnings… Read more ·  1

aren't what MOST lenders considered enough to secure a loan with them. They refuse to look at my past history & take into account that I've always managed my loan repayments, even though my income isn't what they consider "acceptable". Pepper were different! they took the time to assess exactly what my financial situation was & my capabilities to service the loan. They even managed to get me some equity out of my home so I could do some renovations as well as giving me a better rate! I can't praise Pepper Money enough & in particular Maria, who helped me get the absolute most out of what I could borrow form them. Just AWESOME!!

 Follow-up  · The process was very structured…step by step. Firstly you make an appointment with one of their loan officers, where you go through a very simple question and answer format to establish the type of loan you need, the amount required…& your income and outgoings. Once that has been approved you then set up your own digital account for which you will… Read more

Peppermoney was the only finance company who I felt wasn't out just for my money and truly wanted to help me in my situation giving me the lowest interest rate and best way for me moving forward financially to pay my previous debt with Suncorp that I struggled to pay off. I have now fully paid off my debt and am now finally feeling like my life is mine again. Show reply

An absolutely atrocious experience over the past five years—hands down the worst financial decision I’ve ever made. I would rather live under a bridge than have a mortgage with Pepper.

every turn. During the 2022 rate cycle, they increased rates well above the RBA’s rises. I’ve clawed some of it back through repeated rate reviews, but they remain an extremely expensive lender with terrible IT, unusable internet interface and a smugness which is second to none.

I called again today for a rate review—my rate is still about 0.7% above market for comparable loans. They offered nothing. Instead, I was told (in a dismissive tone) “we don’t compete with banks,” followed by several minutes of arguing that my LVR was higher than it actually is—despite being given the correct calculation. This was their RETENTION team.

Shocking.

alot Pepper home loans. The letter was sent out on the 2nd of January 2026. This is just ridiculous, and on top of this the amount outstanding on the total loan that was issued by there solicitor is showing 10 times more adding more stress, the loan amount is only around $140,000 not $1,406,025.81 just ridiculous Pepper home loans.

Just finalised a car loan with Pepper. Always have had a positive experience with their customer care team, who have always resolved any issues raised. Be aware that there is a 6 day wait to clear the title of car after final payment. But otherwise never had any concerns with the product. Show reply
