Homeloans Ltd Home Loans - Mortgage Lender
The Company was originally founded by Tim Holmes and Rob Salmon in 1985. Both are still active directors and major stakeholders today. Previously named International Financing and Investment (IF&I), the company originated mortgages for RESI Building Society, which later was to become The Bank of Melbourne.
In late 1993, after the Bank of Melbourne had established its own presence in WA, IF&I formed a similar alliance with Adelaide Bank. From here, IF&I developed a new brand and WA Home Loans was born.
WA Home Loans experienced great success and led to the company expanding Australia wide with the development of five similar state-based brands; Homeloans VIC, Homeloans NSW, Homeloans QLD, Homeloans SA and Homeloans Canberra Pty Ltd.
In March 2001 the company became publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
