The Thinktank broker portal brings together forms and serviceability tools for commercial, residential, SMSF and private lending files. Use Thinktank's broker resources to prepare your scenario, then take any policy exception to your relationship manager before quoting.
Start at Thinktank's forms and tools library. If you write through Thinktank by LMG, use the Thinktank resource link supplied by LMG for that lending arrangement.
What Sits Inside the Portal
Thinktank's broker materials include application forms, serviceability tools, policy documents, product sheets and market insights. The resource library separates forms by lending category and documentation type, so choose the pack for the actual file.
The published tools include digital serviceability calculators and Excel calculators for commercial, residential and SMSF loans. Run the relevant calculator early, using the income and commitments you can support with documents. Treat the result as indicative: it does not approve the loan or resolve an exception to policy.
Downloading the right form does not make a file compliant. Complete the required checks under your obligations and your aggregator's process, and keep the supporting evidence with the application.
Thinktank's Product Range
Thinktank has four lending categories for brokers: commercial, residential, SMSF and private lending. Read the broker version of the relevant product page before quoting, alongside its policy and rate information.
A self-managed super fund (SMSF) property purchase needs the SMSF material even when the security is a residential property. Our guide to SMSF loans explains the borrowing structure before you model the scenario. Private lending has its own forms and terms, so start with that category when preparing a private file.
Thinktank by LMG and Go Beyond Commercial
Go Beyond Commercial, a specialist lending offer for LMG (Loan Market Group) brokers, now operates as Thinktank by LMG. There is no separate Go Beyond portal to find. LMG's Thinktank by LMG page identifies the offer as exclusive to LMG brokers and sends its broker resource link to Thinktank's library. Use that link for the LMG arrangement. The LMG aggregator profile explains the aggregator behind it.
Support Behind the Login
Thinktank supports brokers through dedicated relationship managers. For a complex trust structure or unusual income, send the scenario question before you prepare the full application. Describe the borrower structure and proposed security, then identify the policy point you need resolved.
Lodge a complete file using the current forms. A saved pack can leave you working from an earlier requirement, so download the relevant documents again when starting a new deal. Keep the relationship manager's response with the file so the application reflects the scenario discussed.
A Fifteen-Minute Thinktank Routine
Use this five-step routine before your next Thinktank file. You need access to the broker resources for the lending arrangement you use.
- Read announcements first. Note any policy or form change that affects the client's scenario.
- Run the relevant serviceability calculator early. Compare its result with the income evidence before discussing borrowing capacity with the client.
- Download fresh forms for the deal. Match the application pack to the lending category and documentation type.
- Take borderline files to your relationship manager before lodging. Record the answer to the specific policy question.
- Record turnaround times from your completed files. Use those notes when setting expectations for future clients.
Before lodging, confirm that your pack matches the product and that every required document is attached. If the calculator cannot capture the borrower structure, take that calculation question to your relationship manager with the inputs you used.
Where Broker Portals Are Heading
Treat announced automation features as plans until they appear in your own login. Keep using the available forms and submission process until the replacement is available to you. Our broker portal directory helps you find the resources for other lenders.
