Pepper Money enhances broker support with strategic team expansion in Victoria

Mr Croucher’s leadership has already led to the addition of four new business development managers (BDMs) to the Victorian team. These appointments are part of his broader vision to provide brokers with the tools, expertise, and support they need to navigate complex scenarios and meet the diverse needs of their clients.

The new Pepper Money BDM appointments include:

"Education and training will be a key focus for me and the team this year. The lending environment is constantly changing, and it’s crucial that we help our brokers navigate our systems and processes efficiently. We cannot assume that brokers have the time to stay on top of every change, so we must play our part in keeping them informed and supported."

“Looking ahead, Mr. Croucher views diversification as a key opportunity for brokers in Victoria, aiming to unlock further potential growth.

"Whether it's commercial, SMSF, asset finance, or personal loans, being able to offer a wide range of products and options will be essential for brokers to maintain strong and lasting relationships with their clients.”

"At Pepper Money, we offer a depth of products and policies coupled with our dedicated BDMs and support teams to ensure the needs of our brokers and their clients are met."

As Mr Croucher looks to the future, his priorities remain clear, "Our key priorities are to deliver what our brokers expect - expertise, timely responses, and a clear strategy. Growing the team in Victoria organically and being clear on our strategy will be critical to our success. I’m excited by the diverse experience in my team, which I see as a serious competitive advantage in providing exceptional service to our brokers."

This announcement follows Pepper Money’s recent partnership with Treasury Corporation Victoria (TCV) to administer the Commercial and Industrial Property Tax (CIPT) Transition Loan Program and various broker events across the state. Pepper Money was also recently named the MFAA’s Specialty Lender of the Year for the ninth consecutive year.

"We are committed to growing our presence in Victoria and providing unparalleled support to brokers,” Mr Croucher said.

“Our new appointments and strategic initiatives reflect our dedication to maintaining our status as the leading specialty lender, ensuring we continue to meet the diverse needs of our brokers and their clients.”
