Brighten’s new “Super Star” loans offer both Full Doc and Alt Doc options, with LVRs of up to 80 per cent.
Additionally, Brighten will offer loans of up to $3 million with terms of up to 30 years, including up to five years of interest-only payments.
Brighten CEO Jason Azzopardi said the new range would offer property investors a more complete range of flexible solutions, designed to help brokers avoid bureaucratic hurdles.
“SMSF lending can involve a lot of red tape,” Azzopardi said.
“We’ve made the process as easy as possible by removing the barriers for brokers and borrowers.”
The lender said that while Australia’s 1.2 million SMSF members represented an underserved segment of the market, there has been a recent shift in the demographic of investors.
Data showed that in the June 2025 quarter, 35–44-year-olds accounted for 37 per cent of new participants in the SMSF market.
Brighten head of sales & distribution, Chris Meaker, said the new range was a product of the changing nature of the market.
“SMSF investors are increasingly growing their interest in commercial property, as they seek stability and yield as part of their SMSF mix,” Meaker said.
