Russel and Lachlan were great, super supportive and really helped turn what could have been a very stressful process into a calm and care free journey.

Russell and his staff were fantastic, they got it done when others couldn’t, honest, clear and as painless as it could be. I wouldn’t hesitate using them again and advising others to use them, which we already have.

Can’t say enough good things about Russel and the team at acceptance finance. Helped my wife and I purchase our first home and we couldn’t be happier. Excellent service all round!

Russel, Minji and Lachlan were a great team to navigate the complex waters of a first home loan but did everything in their power to get pre-approval and ultimate approval. They were regularly responsive and were able to be flexible around our shifting requirements.

Russel Shaw has been helping me out for 9 years now, and his knowledge and brilliant customer relations have passed the test of time. This year he helped us buy a home, which wouldn’t have been possible without his realistic guidance and willingness to get the work done over the holiday season. I doubt we’ll ever use anyone else, I highly recommend him.

I have worked with Russel and his team for over ten years now and I can always count on them to secure me the best finance available for my circumstances. Russel is always available when I need him and will go that extra mile to ensure the finance is secured and the purchase happens on time. I recommend him to everyone looking for a loan.

Running our own business, applying for a new home loan or refinancing can be complicated. Russel and Michael at Acceptance Finance did all the work for us and were able to find us a lender that suited our needs and with an interest rate nearly half of what we were previously paying. Do yourself a favour and reach out to the team at Acceptance Finance!

Phew, I'm now refinanced at a much better rate. Thanks Russel and Michael for the work you did to make this happen.

Kathryn J.

To say my application for a loan was challenging would not only be a big understatement but an insult to the talented Acceptance finance team of Russel Shaw and Minji. Watching Russel consistently jump through hoops demonstrated not only his ability to negotiate the intricate twists and turns of my loan requirements but highlighted his skill in handling a somewhat "nervous & impatient" client .Minji was the perfect partner in this scenario always remaining cool, calm and collected. Both true professionals and I am eternally grateful for their patience and professionalism.I now have great peace of mind and highly recommend them both. Thanks guys.
