WHY EXPAT LENDING DIFFERS
Lending outcomes for expatriate borrowers often differ from domestic residential scenarios.
Structural differences may arise due to:
• foreign income recognition
• currency conversion and shading
• tax residency status
• non-resident policy limits
• LVR restrictions
• Australian credit file continuity
• overseas liabilities
• timing sensitivity around return to Australia
Two borrowers with identical income can receive materially different outcomes depending on how policy interprets foreign income and residency position.
Understanding structure before applying matters.
HOW LENDING IS ASSESSED
Australian lending decisions are shaped by recurring assessment pillars:
• Income & Serviceability
• Expenses & Commitments
• Assets & Equity
• Security & Collateral Risk
• Borrower Profile & Policy Sensitivity
For expatriates, the most sensitive areas typically include:
• Foreign Income Treatment
• Currency Risk Treatment
• Non-Resident LVR Policy
• Existing Debt Recognition
• Timing of Return to Australia
Core assessment mechanics are documented at:
STRUCTURED POSITION CLARITY
Before engaging in formal credit assessment, borrowers may clarify their structural position using Structur.
Structur provides a private mapping layer that identifies:
• income dominance or constraint
• deposit or equity strength
• policy sensitivity areas
• structural timing considerations
Structur does not submit applications or contact lenders.
It provides structured clarity.
