Property-backed finance for your clients
Submit the transaction details for credit assessment. Include the proposed use of funds, security, existing debt, repayment plan and any settlement deadline.
Direct lines to credit.
Indicative terms are preliminary and are not credit approval or a commitment to lend. Final terms depend on credit assessment, valuation, due diligence, funding availability and documentation.
Direct line to credit, not a queue
Same desk that reads the file decides the file. No BDM-as-front-end / credit-as-back-end ping-pong.
Real underwriting on policy edge cases
Recently self-employed, ATO arrears with a plan, mixed-use security, complex group structure. We underwrite the deal, not the formula. If we can't fund it, you'll know why.
What needs a conversation first.
Archer does not publish a decline list, because there is no deal shape that is an automatic no. What follows are the cases where a call to your BDM before submission saves everyone time, and where the answer may be that another lender fits better.
Rural and agricultural security
Rarely funded. Not an automatic no, but worth a call before you put a client through an application.
Under the minimums
Facilities start at $250,000 for a first mortgage and $100,000 for a second. Below that, a conversation about structure is more useful than a submission.
Standalone caveat facilities
A caveat is taken as additional security alongside a registered first or second mortgage, not written on its own. Most files presented as a caveat need are written cleaner as a registered second mortgage.
Anything else, submit it. The credit team would rather read a file that turns out not to fit than have a broker decide on our behalf. All lending is subject to credit assessment and approval.
Three steps from paste to settled.
Paste the scenario.
Plain language. Borrower entity, security suburb + estimated value, what the loan is for, exit. No 14-page application form to populate before you get a view.
Indicative terms.
Indicative terms are preliminary and are not credit approval or a commitment to lend. Final terms depend on credit assessment, valuation, due diligence, funding availability and documentation.
Settlement.
Settlement timing depends on the application, valuation, due diligence, funding availability and completion of documentation. Tell us about any contractual deadline when you submit your enquiry. We brief your borrower's solicitor, run the val panel, and book settlement once docs are out.

The ones brokers actually ask.

How fast can I actually get an indicative?
Settlement timing depends on the application, valuation, due diligence, funding availability and completion of documentation. Tell us about any contractual deadline when you submit your enquiry.
Do you have a portal?
Yes, a broker portal for scenarios, applications, and live status on your active files. Accreditation gives you a login. Standard /scenarios/new flow takes 2 minutes per file; smart extract pre-fills it from a pasted broker note.
Will I get clawed back?
Broker remuneration, payment conditions and any clawback arrangements are governed by the applicable written agreement.
Can I bring a deal that's outside policy?
Yes, and we'd rather you did than guess. If it's clearly outside, we'll tell you. If it's a credible exception (good sponsor, real exit, security to support it), it goes to the credit committee.
How do I get accredited?
Send your AFCA membership, ABN and a recent group structure if you operate under an aggregator. From there you're live in the portal and can submit scenarios.
Where do I escalate if a file's stuck?
Direct line to the assigned BDM, then the head of origination. We publish both names on accreditation, no front-line script, no callback queue.
Paste the deal.
