The role
What is a loan processor?
A loan processor (also called a loan administrator, broker assistant or parabroker) is the person behind the scenes who turns a client’s information into a lender-ready home loan. Brokers can’t function without a good one, which is exactly why the role is in demand.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence or Cert IV to become a loan processor?
No. Loan processors support a broker and don’t give credit advice, so you don’t need a credit licence or Cert IV to start - unlike becoming a broker. Always confirm current requirements with the MFAA, FBAA and ASIC.
Do I need a finance background?
No. The course is built for beginners. Attention to detail, organisation and a willingness to learn the systems matter far more than prior finance experience.
How much does it cost?
The course is an annual subscription of AU$499 per year (incl. GST), self-paced, with content kept current as the industry changes.
Can I work from home as a loan processor?
Often, yes - many Australian brokerages run remote or hybrid processing teams, which makes the role popular with people wanting flexible work.
