The case for a broker
Why use a broker instead of shopping around yourself?
Going lender to lender on your own is slow, and slow isn’t the worst part. The worst part is that you’re negotiating without leverage and choosing without expertise.
You don’t know every deal in the market. You can’t see what each lender is quietly willing to do, because that depends on your profile and on relationships you don’t have. And you can’t push back on a rate the way someone who places volume with that lender can. A broker does this every day, across many lenders at once, which is why a broker can often surface options and pricing a single borrower never sees.
We compare lenders on your behalf, match you to ones that suit your actual situation, and put our negotiating weight behind getting you a sharper deal than you’d likely reach alone.
The part most people miss
How does shopping around yourself hurt your credit score?
Every time you apply directly with a lender, it can record a hard enquiry on your credit file. Apply to several lenders in a short window, exactly what “shopping around” means, and you stack up multiple hard enquiries fast.
Multiple hard enquiries in a short period are a recognised negative signal on your Australian credit file. To a lender, a cluster of recent applications can read as financial stress, even when you were just comparing offers. Your repayment history and any defaults still carry the most weight overall, but a run of enquiries works against you, and it’s the part most people don’t realise they’re causing.
Noddle protects your score by doing the comparison work before anyone runs a hard enquiry. We assess your situation and match you to lenders likely to suit you, so applications go where they have a real chance, instead of you firing off applications to lenders that were never going to fit.
What is Noddle's goal?
To get you the best deal we can find for a personal loan or car loan while protecting your credit score. That’s the whole job, and we do it well.
We’re paid to find you a suitable loan with clear repayments and to keep the process simple, fast, and online, assessed on your current situation, not just an old number on a credit file.
