Home Loan Finance Online is part of the Financial Services Online network, owned and operated by Clark Family Pty Ltd (A.C.N. 010 281 008). We are dedicated to helping Australians understand home mortgage loan finance through general information, tools and resources online.
Home Loan Finance Online operates as an informational publishing website. We do not provide personalised financial, credit or insurance advice or credit assistance, nor do we select, recommend or arrange specific products or providers for readers. We do not accept applications, quote requests, eligibility assessments or borrowing enquiries for referral, or match visitors with brokers or lenders.
Home Loan Information and Its Scope
The articles and resources on Home Loan Finance Online explain home loan comparison concepts, rates, fees, fixed and variable loans, pre-approval, low deposit loans, refinancing and investment property loans. These are educational topics, not comparisons performed for individual readers or assessments of personal eligibility.
A broker or provider may be able to discuss or compare a range of options available through the lenders, insurers or other providers with whom they deal. The number and range of products considered will depend on that broker’s or provider’s own accreditations, panel, licensing arrangements and business relationships.
You may wish to consider any options presented to you alongside your existing arrangements and other alternatives available from different brokers, lenders, insurers or providers. You can also make your own independent enquiries or obtain additional comparisons before deciding whether a particular product or service is appropriate for you.
We do not determine which financial, credit or insurance product you should choose. Our calculators provide estimates based on assumptions, not quotes, offers, approval, eligibility assessments or personalised recommendations.
Home Loan Finance Online also invites readers to subscribe to MoneyTips for informational content. A subscription is not a finance enquiry or referral request.
All information, articles, tools, and calculators published on this website are provided for general information purposes only and do not take into account your objectives, financial situation, or needs. You should not rely on this information as a substitute for independent advice from a suitably qualified and licensed professional.
Before acting on any information published by Home Loan Finance Online, you should consider whether it is appropriate for your circumstances and, if necessary, seek personal advice from a qualified adviser, broker, or intermediary.
Our role is to publish educational information and resources to help Australians better understand home loans and related financial concepts.

Company Background
Clark Family Pty Ltd is the organisation responsible for the Financial Services Online network of websites, which includes Home Loan Finance Online. The network consists of a number of Australian-based online platforms covering information about financial services for consumers and businesses.
The business was founded by Andrew Clark, who began his career in the Australian financial services industry as an insurance broker. Through this work he gained firsthand experience with the challenges consumers and businesses face when trying to understand financial products, compare options, and connect with advisers.
Recognising the growing role of the internet as a research and communication tool, Andrew Clark established Financial Services Online to make it easier for individuals and businesses to research financial products. General information and practical tools remain central to this website’s informational publishing role.
Over time, the network has expanded to include a range of specialised websites covering various lending and insurance categories. As the platform developed, the company also grew from a founder-led initiative into a small team supporting the ongoing development, maintenance, and administration of the network.
Clark Family Pty Ltd maintains the technology and operational framework that supports these platforms. On this website, that framework supports the publication of general information, tools and resources rather than the matching of enquiries with providers.

The Reserve Bank of Australia’s 3 November decision to lift the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.85 per cent has quickly shifted from monetary policy headline to household and business budgeting issue.
