The non-bank lender’s new partnership with outsource Financial is set to bring low‑deposit solutions to borrowers stuck renting and saving on the sidelines.
Non‑bank lender Skip, formerly known as Sucasa, has joined the lender panel of national aggregator outsource Financial – opening the door for outsource‑accredited brokers to write Skip loans as demand for low‑deposit solutions gathers pace.
Skip specialises in high‑LVR, low‑deposit home loans for borrowers who can meet repayments, yet struggle to save a traditional 20 per cent deposit.
The lender positions itself squarely at “forgotten Australians” locked out by standard bank settings.
Skip co‑founder and CEO Mario Emmanuel said the partnership with outsource was a key plank in the lender’s bid to reach more underserved customers and marked a major milestone in its broader aggregator expansion plans.
“The Skip team is thrilled to be expanding our aggregator network this year,” Emmanuel said.
He said outsource’s “curated” panel and broker community provided a powerful channel for scale.
“We believe we have a valuable offering that will benefit millions of forgotten Australians,” he said.
“It’s our job to meet them when and where they need us. Joining Outsource’s curated panel of lenders is an important step in this journey.”
Emmanuel added that Skip was actively involved in the integration process, with its head of origination currently travelling around Australia to connect with brokers at outsource’s Energiser Expos.
Low‑deposit demand driving the move
Emmanuel said the appointment was about more than distribution and framed each funded deal as a win against the “deposit gap” that kept long‑term renters out of the market.
“We’re keen to serve Outsource’s great community of brokers and their customers,” he said.
“Every time we enable home ownership for forgotten Australians, stuck on the hamster wheel of endless renting and saving, is a moment worth celebrating.”
Outsource Financial CEO Tanya Sale said Skip’s products landed in a segment where the group was seeing rising inquiries.
“Partnering with Skip is a logical step,” Sale said.
“We see strong and growing demand for low‑deposit lending, and Skip’s offering is simple, yet incredibly competitive.”
Sale said giving brokers more flexibility at higher LVRs should translate into workable solutions for clients who would otherwise fall short under mainstream policies.
“It’s exactly the type of solution our Brokers want to be able to offer as their unique approach will significantly add value to our brokers being able to say ‘yes’ more often to their customers,” she said.
