Proudly supporting A21

Making a difference.
A story from our founder.
In 2012, when I was living in London, I attended a leadership conference at the Royal Albert Hall and a female speaker from the Western suburbs of Sydney spoke about the issue of human trafficking and how there were 21 million people in slavery. The highest it’s ever been in the history of the world.
As she was describing the horrific nature of the crime, an anger rose up inside of me at the injustice and I prayed to God saying ‘you should do something about this’ and then I heard a still, small voice say to me ‘you do something about it’ so I made a vow that when I started my business, I would do something about it.
That time came in 2015 when I started Loan Lounge and made a commitment to give 10% of our trail income monthly to our charity partners. What started out as $2 per month is now over $3,500 per month and continues to grow until we reach our mission of sustainably giving $1M per annum to end human trafficking.
I know that I will never be able to physically reach those that need it but our money can. Our money can go to places that are beyond us so at Loan Lounge, we have chosen to think beyond our present circumstances and build a business that focuses on people, planet and profit.
As you partner with us, whether it’s purchasing your 1st home, refinancing, investing – you go on a journey whereby your loan (at no additional cost to you) is helping fight this terrible crime.
Practically, we are paid commissions from the lender when we introduce you to them and paid an upfront commission and a trail commission. This means its in our best interest to provide you with the most competitive product and at the same time, 10% of the trail income is given to our charity partners for the life of the loan.
So in essence by working with the Loan Lounge, we put your interest first and by doing that, funds are released to fight injustice and you can know that your loan is releasing a women that has been trapped in slavery, bringing justice to a corrupt legal system, raising awareness and bringing education about this crime and lifting children out of poverty.
