We contact you
A broker calls or emails using the preference you selected.
We clarify the decision

CONTACT FAQS
Useful answers before you get in touch.
How quickly will Rate Challenge respond?
During business hours, Rate Challenge aims to respond promptly. Complex enquiries may need a short initial call before a useful answer can be provided.
What should I have ready?
A rough goal, timeline, postcode, loan amount, property value or purchase price, deposit or equity and income type are enough for the first conversation.
Do you work outside Victoria?
Yes. Phone and video meetings are available Australia-wide. In-person meetings are available by arrangement around Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat.
Does submitting the form start a loan application?
No. It requests contact from Rate Challenge. A lender application only starts later if you choose to proceed after the options and requirements are explained.
Do you charge a broker fee?
Rate Challenge generally does not charge a broker fee on standard residential home loans. Any fee for specialist or commercial work is disclosed before work begins.
Can I send my documents with the first email?
It is better to wait for a secure document process. Avoid sending identity documents, bank statements or passwords through an ordinary contact message.
Ready for a practical first conversation?
Call, email or use the enquiry form above. A broker will help identify what matters next and whether a detailed comparison is worthwhile.
