We give good people the second chance they need.
Ume Loans is an Australian owned & operated company. We are a fully licensed lending company and are regulated by ASIC. We were founded in 2009 to provide finance to customers whose circumstances are outside the bank’s normal lending criteria. The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) was the catalyst for the birth of our company. As the credit markets tightened and finance companies stopped lending, many good borrowers were left without the ability to obtain a loan. Ume Loans now fills this gap in the lending market.
Our Group Founding Director Dan Fox has had over 10 years experience managing loan portfolios. His industry experience through GE Finance and Avco Finance & Insurance has contributed towards developing a proven credit scoring model. This model ensures we help as many clients as possible with minimal losses. Our computer scoring system is second to none, and gives us fast and accurate documents at the push of a button.
When you’re pre-approved, the loan amount, duration and interest rate are all confirmed
When you know what you’ll be able to borrow, you can rest assured we have the right loan for you
Apply online in minutes and benefit from our fast & efficient loan approval process
At the heart of our business is our people. Our team are from all walks of life, just like our customers- at Ume Loans, we celebrate good people. Our loan specialists know their stuff, they have many years experience helping customers just like you!
Our team members are friendly, open-minded people who are fully accredited and are trained professionals in their field. We take our obligations to our customers very seriously, and will work hard to ensure that the loan products on offer meet your requirements and objectives.
The team at Ume loans have gone above and beyond for myself and my family. We had an original car loan through them and unfortunately we were in an accident where our car was a write off. I contacted Phil, and immediately he asked about our well-being and before I could ask he said that he would easily help us with getting a new car. Between Phil, Brittany and Dan, the team have been able to quickly get me into our new car so I could continue to get to work. I am overwhelmed by the support and kindness shown by everyone there. Thank you so so much again.

This is the second time I’ve used Ume. The first time I dealt with Ford and Dan and couldn’t speak high enough of them and the assistance they gave me. My latest communication was with Emma, and once again the service, efficiency and professionalism she went about her work was second to none. We had to jump through a lot of hoops through no fault of our own but to her credit did it with no fuss or complaints. I highly recommend Ume and there team of experts, They are genuine humans who care about you not what they are getting out of it. Definitely 100 stars out 5.

This lending firm I have been with for the past 7 yrs approx. Although the interest on the loans provided are reasonably high, the reason for this is that for you to find lending generally is difficult for you. Yes the lending criteria is based on your ability to pay the loan back but if approved they do look after their customers well as long as you keep in touch with them. I personally have had a great experience with UME and continue my journey with this institution. Thank you UME for all you've done in the last 7yrs and look forward to another 7yrs. HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY!

Confidential After countless attempts at obtaining a personal loan with other lenders, I came across UME loans and I guess what really stood out for me was the “giving a 2nd chance” which is extremely difficult to Obtain when you have made prior mistakes with finances, causing a not so attractive credit score. But I have to say hand on heart dealing with Georgia, she was an absolute blessing! She took the time To explain everything to me, and didn’t make me feel any less entitled to a loan, just because I didn’t have assets, and credit score didn’t meet the criteria of other lenders/banks. She made the whole Process seamless, informative, and with the amount that I needed, the turnaround time was so quick and efficient, no hidden fees etc. I wish there was a 10 star review because that is the type of service You will receive if you are in a position where other lenders/banks only judge you on your credit rating/assets. I highly recommend UME and Georgia, she is the best lending specialist I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

These guys are amazing.

I want to give a huge thank you to Georgia from Ume Loans for her outstanding support throughout the entire car loan process. From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, which really helped take the stress out of what can often be a daunting experience. Georgia was always available to answer any questions I had, and her communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring every step of the way. She kept me updated throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. Thanks to her, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, and I felt confident and well-informed the whole time. It’s rare to come across service this good, and Georgia truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Ume Loans to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused lending service. I honestly can’t wait to be in my new car!! Thank you again, Georgia—your help made all the difference!

SEVEN STAR REVIEW- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would like to express my heartiest thank you to Ford Taylor at Ume Loans. He made the whole process so easy and simple and it was a delightful experience dealing with him. He is a real Ume Loans Champion and should be AWARDED the BEST LENDING SPECIALIST of the MONTH. He took my personal circumstances into consideration and kept me informed all the way through and tried his utmost best to get the loan approved and giving me a SECOND CHANCE. Ford is the “Go To Man” moving forward for any loan services and it was so amazing, after the loan approval , I received a Welcome Call and went through the contract together and gave an opportunity to raise any questions or concerns I may have along the way. No such company provides this type of personal touch . Once again “WELL DONE” !!!! Thank you.

The team at Ume Loans are absolutely amazing!! After struggling with debt due to health issues, a lot of bills had racked up. With bad credit and only just gaining new employment, no bank would help us at all. But, Ume Loans were unlike any bank, they listened to our story and understood the need for consolidation, the application was easy and process was fast! MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO EMMA! ❤️ Emma at Ume Loans delt with our entire application and made everything less stressful, she's so great to talk to and really made us feel less worried about everything. Definitely recommend having a chat to Emma and the whole team at Ume Loans if your struggling to get approval!!

Anyone with bad credit knows how hard it is to rebuild after some reckless younger years, it can take years even decades to get credit back to a place to be able to successfully apply for a loan, Ume gave me that second chance! Front start to finish the staff were friendly, clear, professional and empathetic. The process was thorough yet reassuring and positive. I cried when I was accepted and the staff shared that joy with me. They’re real people helping real people, would highly recommend and can’t speak highly enough of the team.

Working with the team at Ume loans during some very uncertain and difficult times for our family financially has been an incredibly positive and heart-warming experience for us. Sadly it seems though that often those that are struggling can be met with further stresses and shame when having to resolve problems on top of problems and how easily we can all become isolated as our access to community and opportunities to overcome adversity tends to shrink leaving many without hope. We have been blessed to instead find ourselves in the most welcoming of arms and amongst the coolest of heads in the game when it comes to the business of not just doing business but rather building relationships with their clients that felt to us founded in a philosophy that people do actually matter regardless of the dollars and cents and has left an enduring mark on us as we reflect on the support, caring and kindness we've received from our friends at Ume not to mention the realistic guidance and patient approach they have constantly applied to our own financial situation. Thank you Ume loans.

Where do I start, I came to Ume Loans 2ish years ago now with a serious story. I needed a consolidation of my life. So many small things owing and an extremely low credit score. Felt at that time that nothing and no one could help me. You see a year or two prior to this I had lost a very dear friend to suicide and I’m not going to lie bad decision or not I gave up and stopped paying everything in my life to deal with that situation. Ume Loans gave me my life back financially when they heard me out and gave me a shot, when no one else would—the team actually considered me as a person and “why” I was where I was coming to them. They said YES! Changing my life. I just bought my new car in December 2024 (through UME Loans sister company FOX finance.) It wouldn’t have been possible without UME Loans. My life has been on an upward trajectory ever since. I cannot recommend UME Loans enough. Well played guys.

Absolutely no one would help me with a car loan and I had resigned myself to never getting one. Ume Loans was my absolute last chance and guess what? That's right they approved me and now I'm getting my dream car. This is the only company people should use and they truly give you a second chance. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for helping me, thank you for getting it through before the end of Financial year and thank you for being the absolute best loan company I have ever come across. I'm extremely happy and I appreciate all your staff for all the work they have done to make this happen. Fantastic company and very highly recommended.

My experience with Ume Loans was spectacular, my lending specialist Kirra was so efficient in everything we were able to have everything settled in 4 days, I picked up my new vehicle on the Saturday morning and I had applied for the loan on Tuesday. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is in need of a second chance, very happy with the outcome :)

I have been a customer with a car loan for over a year. I applied with poor credit history but was able to make the payments and was grateful for the help from the team to get my new car. About a month ago I got into some financial trouble and having received a call asking if I needed anything having been a good customer reached out for help. Emma was amazing in getting me a top on my car. I cannot thank UME loans enough for the second chance!
