Angle Finance has climbed its way to the top of the broker usage charts for asset finance loans, with 43 per cent of all asset finance brokers using the lender throughout the month of May.
This was a sharp month-on-month increase from the April edition of Agile Market Intelligence’s Broker Pulse: Commercial Lending, where the lender sat in third place for asset finance broker usage, with 33 per cent of brokers turning to the lender.
Beating each of the majors and other far larger lenders, Angle Finance is thriving in its niche as an equipment leasing finance lender, offering 100 per cent finance on equipment from $10,000–$1,000,000.
Helping boost broker usage were quick turnaround times. As revealed in the Broker Pulse: Commercial Lending, Angle Finance reported a median turnaround time of 1.5 days for asset finance loans.
Further were strong results in broker satisfaction. BDMs got an approval score of 84 per cent, the application process received a score of 87 per cent, its credit assessment process achieved a score of 85 per cent, and settlement reported a score of 91 per cent.
Keeping brokers engaged through quick turnaround times and a positive experience has helped the lender perform strongly.
According to Agile Market Intelligence’s commercial director Oliver Stofka, these considerations can massively improve the attractiveness of a lender for its third-party partners.
“As we see in the results of Broker Pulse: Commercial Lending, it’s not just about being the fastest, it’s about being consistently good,” said Stofka.
“Lenders that combine reliable turnaround times with experienced BDMs who deliver a seamless broker experience leave the strongest impression. That consistency is what keeps brokers returning.”
Angle Finance has cracked the top three for broker usage in asset finance lending for each Broker Pulse: Commercial Lending in 2025. However, this is the first time this year it has taken the top spot.
Courtney Brush, chief growth officer at Angle Finance, said the small players are able to compete with the bigger lenders through care and attention.
"We act big where it matters, speed, tech, service but stay small enough to care. Brokers come to us because we move fast, they get direct access to decision-makers, and our BDMs are always available. Plus, we update our platform monthly based on broker feedback, we don’t just listen, we act," said Brush.
Future plans at Angle Finance include an expansion of its offerings. Lapcevic said this includes a “wider product suite, sharper tech, [and] stronger broker support."
"We’re rolling out portal features, expanding our product and growing our BDM team nationally. Everything we do is geared around making it easier for brokers to win deals and grow," Brush said.
"Education is a key focus. We’ve created tailored training for brokers with under 12 months’ experience and partnered with CAFBA to deliver online modules that fast-track onboarding and build capability."
Since the February edition of Broker Pulse: Commercial Lending, Angle Finance has climbed from 31 per cent broker usage to 43 per cent.
Comparing the satisfaction scores paints a clear picture. Going from middling scores to a top performer has engaged more brokers and boosted its usage.
The recent data showed how improving on seemingly small areas can have a big impact.
Similar trends were seen in the last edition of Broker Pulse: Commercial Lending, where ANZ and Westpac led commercial broker usage through quick turnaround times.
