While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Written by the company

The Finance Depot Pty Ltd specializes in lending used equipment of any age at competitive rates that businesses didn't get when financing used older equipment. Our financing options include trucks & trailers, forestry and industrial equipment with a VIN or serial number. In contrast to banks, we call you back, and we have several non-traditional lenders on our panel who are willing to help people. If you'd like to talk about buying a piece of equipment or a "sale buyback" [raising funds by mortgaging your equipment], give us a call at 1300 404 225 or via e-mail at info@thefinancedepot.com.au. On our panel, we have a variety of lenders.

Hidden Fees

Quotes were provided for vehicle finance that included hidden fees. These fees were not disclosed until I realised that the monthly repayments and interest rate quoted did not match. In the quotes provided the company quotes an "Asset Price" not a "Loan Amount" . In one quote the Loan Amount was calculated by me to be greater than $5K more than the asset price. On further questioning the company admitted to charging an establishment fee ($499) and an "Origination" fee that are added to the asset price prior to calculating monthly payments.
