FAQs - About Athena

We’re not a bank and act nothing like a bank. We specialise in home loans, and only home loans.

Being a ‘nonbank’ lender we have access to funding at wholesale rates across a range of major financial institutions.

Of course we’re gonna say yes, but there are some good reasons why you should.

One, we’re funded by the might of AirTree Ventures, Apex Capital, AustralianSuper, Hostplus, Macquarie Bank, RESIMAC Group, Rice Warner, Square Peg and Sunsuper.

Two, we’re led by a trusted leadership team with a track record of delivering successful and innovative customer solutions.

And three, we use bank level security and encryption across our digital platform, so you get all the online benefits without the dangers. Our Australian Credit Licence (502611 if you need to know) means we’re governed by ASIC and legally bound to follow their compliance rules.

But don’t just take our word for it. Our customers have given us the highest rating of Excellent on Trustpilot.

If you're unhappy with any aspect of your experience with us, please get in touch. We take all feedback seriously as it only helps us to improve.

See our Complaints Policy for more details.

We, and our investors, think this is extremely unlikely, but it’s a fair question.

In the unlikely event that we must shut down, your loan would be serviced by another provider on the same terms as we have provided it to you.

No need to worry, we use bank level security and encryption across our digital platform, so you get all the online benefits without the dangers. For more information, see our Privacy Policy and Security at Athena.

We’re always on the hunt for great talent right across the business. We’re creating a home lending experience that’s different, built around the customer.

If that excites you, we’d love to hear more. Check our open roles here.
