Understanding the Car Loans Application Process for FIFO Workers

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a conversation about your vehicle goals – whether you're buying a new or used car, upgrading your current vehicle, or looking to refinance an existing car loan. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers understand the unique circumstances of FIFO work and explain the car loan process, assess your financial position, and begin identifying suitable options from a wide panel of banks and lenders across Australia who are familiar with FIFO income structures.

Financial Assessment

Your broker conducts a detailed review of your finances, including your FIFO income patterns, swing schedules, expenses, assets, liabilities and savings. They assess your borrowing capacity based on your roster earnings and explain key terms such as secured vs unsecured car loans, balloon payments, and how your credit history may affect your loan options.

Loan Comparison & Selection

With a clear understanding of your financial position and FIFO work arrangements, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers research and compare a range of car loan products suitable for FIFO workers. These may include loans with fixed or variable interest rates, flexible repayment terms that align with your roster schedule, or features like no early exit fees. Our brokers help you compare the pros and cons of each option so you can confidently choose a loan that suits your swing patterns and goals.

Loan Pre-Approval

Securing a loan pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and helps you shop for your next car with confidence. Your broker prepares and submits the required documents – such as FIFO employment contracts, recent payslips, bank statements and ID – to lenders who understand FIFO employment structures. Pre-approval also puts you in a stronger position when negotiating with dealerships or private sellers.

Formal Loan Application

Once you've found the right car and chosen your preferred loan, your broker submits the formal application to the lender. They manage all necessary paperwork, respond to any lender queries about your FIFO employment, and keep you informed every step of the way to ensure a smooth and efficient process that works around your roster schedule.

Loan Approval & Settlement Preparation

When your car loan is approved, your broker reviews the loan agreement with you and ensures you understand all the key details – including interest rate, fees, repayment schedule that suits your roster pattern and any conditions attached to the loan. They also arrange for the funds to be released, either to you or directly to the seller or dealership.

Settlement & Ongoing Support

At settlement, your lender disburses the funds and you're ready to drive away in your new car. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers work with all parties involved to make sure everything is finalised correctly and on time. After settlement, we remain available to support you with managing your repayments around your FIFO schedule, refinancing, or future finance needs.

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help FIFO workers with refinancing existing mortgages?

Absolutely! We specialise in helping FIFO workers refinance their home loans and investment properties. Our brokers understand the complexities of FIFO income and can find you better interest rates from our network of 2,000 loan products. We'll review your current loan and find refinancing options that could save you thousands over the life of your loan.

Do you understand FIFO income patterns and work schedules?

Yes, we formed specifically to serve FIFO workers who were being overlooked by big banks and brokerages. Our Licensed Mortgage Brokers are experts in FIFO income structures, including roster patterns, site allowances, and variable income streams. We know how to present your application in the best light to lenders who understand the FIFO lifestyle.

FIFO workers often face challenges with traditional lenders who don't understand their income patterns. We have exclusive technology and relationships with lenders who specialise in FIFO lending. We do all the legwork, can give you a good idea of what you'll qualify for before applying (protecting your credit score), and work with you completely online to fit your roster schedule.

Do lenders accept FIFO allowances and overtime as part of my income?

Yes, but it requires the right broker who understands how to present FIFO income correctly.

Many FIFO workers are surprised to learn they can borrow more than they thought when their full income package is properly presented to the right lenders.

What if I'm between contracts or looking to change FIFO companies?

We work with FIFO workers in all employment situations.

Do you only help with home loans or can you assist with other FIFO lending needs?

Whether you're buying a ute for work, building your dream home, or expanding your investment portfolio, if you need to borrow money, we can probably help find the right solution.
