Lending in app

Put your money to work one loan at a time.

Brolly lets verified lenders fund short-term borrower demand through a clear app-based lending loop. Add funds, turn Auto-Deploy on or off, and track what is available, on hold, active, returned and earned.

The target return is 12% p.a. You see the lending structure before funds are matched, and you stay in control of whether your available balance can be used for new loans.

The upside is a clear one-loan-at-a-time model. The trade-off is that repayment can be late, recovery can take time, and funds already active in a loan are not instantly withdrawable.

The 12% p.a. return is a target, not a promise. Outcomes depend on borrower repayment, timing and product terms.

How lending works

Verify, fund, match, track, repeat.

Brolly keeps the lender flow simple. The app shows where your money is before it is matched, while it is active, and after it comes back.

01

Verify in the app

Download Brolly, create your lender profile, complete identity checks and review the lender terms.

02

Fund your wallet

Top up from A$100. Available funds sit in your Brolly wallet until they are matched, withdrawn or left idle.

03

Control Auto-Deploy

Auto-Deploy decides whether available funds can be matched to eligible borrower requests. Turn it on to participate. Pause it when you want available funds to stay out of new matches.

04

Get matched

When a borrower request is eligible and funds are available, Brolly can match one lender to one borrower loan. The app shows the deployed amount, target return and current status.

05

Track the cycle

Your wallet can move through available, on hold, active, returned and earned states. When the borrower repays, funds can return to the wallet for withdrawal or redeployment.

Why Brolly

A clearer way to participate in short-term lending.

Brolly is built for lenders who want visibility and control, not a pooled black box.

12% p.a. target return

Brolly targets 12% p.a. for lenders, with the target shown before deployment.

Verified borrower demand

Borrower requests go through identity, bank-data, affordability and product checks before they can be matched.

One-loan-at-a-time matching

Your funds are matched to borrower demand one loan at a time, so the status is easier to understand.

Clear wallet states

Available funds, on-hold funds, active loan principal, returned principal and earned return are separated in the lender wallet.

App-level control

Fund from A$100, pause Auto-Deploy, track active loans and manage available funds from the app.

A$0 lender platform fee

Brolly does not charge a lender platform fee in the standard lender flow.

Before deployment

More signal before funds go active.

Before a match is made, Brolly checks the borrower request and keeps the lender flow visible.

Borrower checks

Brolly uses identity and fraud checks, consented bank-data signals, affordability indicators, repayment context and product rules.

Product limits

Borrowers only see amounts available to them. Eligibility, current borrowing position and product availability decide what can be offered.

Matched lending

Brolly matches available lender funds to borrower requests loan by loan. It is not a savings account and not a pooled deposit-style balance.

Payment rails

Money movement is handled through Brolly and payment partners such as PayTo, Monoova and NPP-supported flows where applicable. It is not a direct lender-bank-to-borrower-bank transfer.

Status updates

If a repayment is late, the wallet makes the updated state clear: active, due, late, recovering, returned.

Product preview, not a promise. Target return only. Not guaranteed. Final amounts depend on the product terms shown in the app and borrower repayment.

Wallet states

Know where your money is.

A good lender experience makes the wallet obvious: available, on hold, active, returned and earned.

Available to lend Funds in your wallet that are not currently active in a loan. These funds can be matched, kept idle or managed through the app.
On hold Funds reserved for a match while the payment flow is processing.
Active in loans Funds currently matched to borrower loans. Active funds remain tied to the borrower cycle until repayment or recovery.
Returned Principal that has come back after repayment. Returned funds can become available again for withdrawal or redeployment.
Earned The lender return credited according to product terms after the relevant cycle or event.

Return mechanics

12% p.a. target return, shown before deployment.

Brolly connects the target return to a matched loan cycle. When funds are matched, the app shows the amount deployed, the expected borrower cycle, the target return and the repayment status.

When your funds are matched, Brolly shows the deployed amount, 12% p.a. target return, expected borrower cycle and repayment status. If the borrower repays, principal returns to your wallet. If repayment is late, the loan moves into the relevant status so you can keep track.

Matched amount Shown in app
Target return 12% p.a.
Example cycle 30 days
Loan status Active / late / recovery / returned

The 12% p.a. return is a target only. It is not bank interest, not a deposit rate and not guaranteed income.

Controls & limits

Control the tap.

Brolly gives lenders a simple operating model: fund from A$100, control Auto-Deploy, track active loans, and manage available funds from the app.

Start from A$100

Top up from A$100, with A$100 increments under the standard app limits.

Auto-Deploy control

Switch Auto-Deploy on when you want available funds to be matchable. Pause it when you want available funds to stay idle.

Available vs active

Available wallet funds can be managed in the app. Active loan funds are tied to the borrower cycle until repayment or recovery.

Withdraw available funds

Funds not active in a loan can be managed through the wallet. Funds already active come back when the loan closes or recovery completes.

Larger lender pathway

If you are considering a larger allocation than the standard app flow, use the larger lender pathway for a separate conversation about fit, limits, staged deployment and reporting.

Plain lender disclosure

A good lender page can sell the upside and still be honest.

Brolly is lending, not a savings account. The upside is a 12% p.a. target return and a clear one-loan-at-a-time model. The trade-off is that repayment can be late, recovery can take time, and funds already active in a loan are not instantly withdrawable.

Target returns are not guaranteed

A borrower may repay late or not repay in full, and deployed funds may be delayed or lost.

Not a bank account

Brolly is lending, not a savings account, deposit account or government-backed savings product.

Active funds are not instantly withdrawable

Funds already active in a loan remain tied to that borrower cycle until repayment or recovery.

No Financial Claims Scheme cover

Lender funds are not covered by the Australian Government Financial Claims Scheme.

Important. Target returns are not guaranteed. A borrower may repay late or not repay in full, and deployed funds may be delayed or lost. Brolly is not a bank, deposit account or government-backed savings product. Funds are not covered by the Australian Government Financial Claims Scheme.
