Whether you are buying your first car, upgrading the family car, or looking at a luxury car or electric vehicle, getting the right car loan makes all the difference. At digilend, we help clients across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Greater Brisbane find car finance options that suit their situation, their budget, and their goals.
Buying a vehicle is one of the biggest purchases most people make outside of property. The way you finance that purchase can affect your monthly repayment, the total amount you pay over time, and how much flexibility you have down the track. That is why working with digilend to compare your options before you sign anything at the dealership can save you a lot of money and a lot of headaches.
Dealer financing can seem convenient, but it is not always the most suitable option for your circumstances. At digilend, we access car loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, which means we can compare a wide range of products to find one that suits your needs. From secured car loans to no deposit options, we look at what is available and help you understand what each option means for your finances.
Not everyone is buying a brand new car off the lot. Some clients are after a used car loan for a certified pre-owned vehicle, while others are chasing that new car smell and want new car finance sorted before they walk into the showroom. digilend works with clients looking at all kinds of vehicles, including utes, vans, convertibles, hybrid cars, and electric vehicles. Whether it is a super car, a practical family runabout, or a business car loan for a work vehicle, we can help you explore your options.
For those interested in asset finance beyond just cars, digilend also assists with a broader range of finance products to help you get the equipment and vehicles your life or business needs.
There are a few things worth understanding when it comes to car finance. The interest rate on your loan will directly affect your car loan repayments, so it is important to look beyond just the loan amount and consider the full picture. Some lenders offer low interest rates with conditions attached, while others may advertise zero percent financing offers that come with restrictions on the vehicle or the term.
A balloon payment is another feature that comes up in car finance. This is a lump sum amount due at the end of the loan term, which can lower your monthly repayment during the loan but means a larger amount is owed at the end. digilend can walk you through how balloon payments work and whether they make sense for your situation.
If you already have a car loan and feel like you are paying too much, it may be worth exploring whether you can refinance your car loan. Refinancing can sometimes result in a lower interest rate or more suitable repayment terms, depending on your circumstances and what is available in the market at the time.
digilend works with clients across Ashmore, Southport, Nerang, Robina, Mermaid Waters, Bundall, Palm Beach, Merrimac, Surfers Paradise, Clayfield, Windsor, Miami, and the broader Gold Coast and Brisbane regions. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for reliable transport, a professional after a prestige vehicle, or a business owner needing a work ute, we are here to help you explore your car finance options.
We also assist clients who want a pre-approved car loan before they head to the dealership. Having pre-approval can give you more confidence when negotiating with a car dealer, because you already know what you are working with. It takes the hassle out of buying and puts you in a stronger position.
For clients who need finance beyond vehicles, digilend also offers personal loans and business loans to cover a wider range of financial needs.
digilend works with a panel of lenders to help clients access competitive rates on their car finance. Whether you are after a green car loan for an electric vehicle, a secured car loan backed by the vehicle itself, or flexible terms that suit your cash flow, we compare options to find what works for you. Our goal is to help you understand the car loan comparison process clearly, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Mario is genuinely your true saviour. Mario has always been an exceptionally great, honest, respectful, trustworthy, genuine person while doing business with. He offers the available products in the market and explains the pros&cons of various products based on individual circumstances. He always thinks from clients perspective and gets the best deal for them as per their circumstances just like mine . I have dealt with Mario for more than 15 years and he has never let me down no matter what borrowing capacity/product was suitable to my needs at that moment. If you want the truth, no BS just talk to Mario.

I met Mario through my work practices and noted he was a finance broker. I never had an ongoing personal broker before as I never found a good one to trust. I decided to give him a crack and it was one of the better decisions I’ve made in life. He is down to earth, honest, organised, effective and goes over and above to get the best outcome for us. He even attends auctions, open homes and house calls with us and has become part of our inner sanctum. He even laughs at my jokes. I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires finance and property matters. Chris and Tanya

Highly recommend. Mario and his team were a pleasure to deal with. Mario was very knowledgeable on the most suitable finance for me and he made the process so easy. I've since referred Mario to friends, and will definitely use Digilend again.

When you go directly to a bank, you are only seeing what that one lender has to offer. A broker like digilend has access to a panel of lenders, which means we can look across multiple options and present you with a range of possibilities that suit your situation. We also understand the lending criteria of different lenders, which means we can help match you with lenders who are more likely to consider your application based on your circumstances. On top of that, we handle a lot of the communication and paperwork on your behalf, which saves you a significant amount of time and effort. Having someone in your corner who understands the process can make a real difference, especially if your situation is not straightforward.
The documents you need can vary depending on the type of loan and your personal circumstances, but there are some common ones that most lenders will ask for. These typically include proof of identity such as a passport or driver's licence, proof of income like recent payslips or tax returns, bank statements showing your savings and spending, details of any existing debts or liabilities, and information about the property if you have already found one. If you are self-employed, you may need to provide additional documents such as business financials. digilend will give you a clear checklist based on your specific situation so you know exactly what to pull together before we get started. Being prepared upfront can help things move along more smoothly.
Refinancing means replacing your existing home loan with a new one, either with your current lender or a different one. People refinance for all sorts of reasons. Some want to access the equity they have built up in their property, others want to consolidate debts, and some simply want to review whether their current loan still suits their needs. It is worth noting that refinancing is not always the right move for everyone, and there can be costs involved such as exit fees or application fees for a new loan. digilend can help you look at your current situation and weigh up whether refinancing could make sense for you. We will give you a clear picture so you can make an informed decision.
Yes, digilend works with self-employed clients regularly. We understand that being your own boss can make the loan application process feel a bit more complicated, because your income might look different on paper compared to someone who receives a regular payslip. Different lenders have different ways of assessing self-employed income, and some are more accommodating than others. We know which lenders are more likely to look favourably at self-employed applicants and what documentation you will typically need to support your application. Things like tax returns, business financials, and bank statements are often part of the picture. We will help you get your paperwork in order and put your best foot forward.
The deposit required can depend on a number of factors including the lender, the type of loan, and your overall financial situation. A deposit of 20% of the property purchase price is often seen as a common benchmark, but there are options available for people with smaller deposits. Some lenders may accept a lower deposit, though this can sometimes mean additional costs such as lenders mortgage insurance. There are also government schemes that may be worth looking into depending on your eligibility. digilend can help you understand what your deposit situation means for your options and what lenders may be willing to consider. We will always give you a clear picture of what is involved.
The timeline can vary quite a bit depending on your situation, the lender involved, and how quickly documents can be gathered and verified. Generally speaking, getting pre-approval can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, while full approval after you have found a property can take a similar amount of time. Some lenders move quicker than others, and having all your documents ready can help things move along. digilend will keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things are at. We will also let you know upfront what to expect based on your specific circumstances so you are not left wondering what is happening.
In most cases, digilend is paid a commission by the lender when a loan is settled. This means that in many situations you do not pay us directly for our broking service. However, we believe it is important that you understand exactly how we are paid and any fees that may apply to your situation before we get started. We are required by law to be transparent about our remuneration, and we take that seriously. We will always explain how we are paid as part of our process so there are no surprises. If you have any questions about this at any point, just ask us and we will walk you through it clearly.
digilend can assist with a wide range of lending needs. This includes home loans for people buying a property, refinancing for those who want to review their current loan, investment property loans, car and asset finance, personal loans, and business lending. We work with a broad panel of lenders, which means we can look at options across different loan types rather than being limited to just one product or one bank. Every person's situation is different, so we take the time to understand what you are trying to achieve before we start looking at what might be available to you. If you are not sure whether we can help, just reach out and ask.
