New Brighten Super Star loans help brokers grow SMSF business<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighten, a 2025 5-Star Mortgage Innovator<\/a>, has launched a new range of residential and commercial SMSF<\/a> loans, giving brokers more opportunities to diversify their client portfolios and meet growing demand in the $1 trillion self-managed super fund (SMSF<\/a>) market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Brighten Super Star range features competitive Full Doc and Alt Doc options with LVRs up to 80%, loan sizes up to $3 million, and loan terms of up to 30 years, including up to five years interest-only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighten CEO Jason Azzopardi (pictured left) said SMSF property investors are seeking more flexibility and less red tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSMSF lending<\/a> can involve a lot of red tape. So, we\u2019ve made the process as easy as possible by removing the barriers for brokers and borrowers,\u201d Azzopardi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible solutions for SMSF property investors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Azzopardi said Brighten\u2019s new suite was designed to stand out in a competitive non-bank lending market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnlike some competitors, we accept individual as well as corporate Trustees, with no minimum asset test or liquidity requirements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brighten Super Star loans include fully assessed pre-approvals from Brighten\u2019s onshore credit team in Sydney, supported by advanced technology designed to simplify broker processes and strengthen client outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adapting to a changing SMSF landscape<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s 1.2 million SMSF members represent a growing and increasingly diverse segment of the lending market. While SMSFs were once dominated by older investors, younger Australians are now driving growth \u2013 with those aged 35 to 44 accounting for 37% of new entrants in the June 2025 quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighten\u2019s head of sales and distribution, Chris Meaker (pictured right), said the new range reflects these evolving trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSMSF investors are increasingly growing their interest in commercial property, as they seek stability and yield as part of their SMSF investment mix,\u201d Meaker said. \u201cBrighten Super Star provides flexible SMSF lending solutions for customers and brokers with seamless online applications and approval processes via NextGen<\/a>\u2019s ApplyOnline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighten\u2019s broader broker proposition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Positioning itself as a one-stop shop for brokers, Brighten continues to expand its residential and commercial product suite.<\/a> The non-bank lender recently increased loan sizes by up to $15 million to meet the growing demand from high-income earners and property investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its new SMSF Super Star range, Brighten aims to help brokers tap into the nation\u2019s evolving superannuation market while offering clients accessible, technology-driven lending solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
