Meet Athena, the Home Loan Wrecker 

Athena Home Loans burst into the industry in 2019 to shake things up and change home loans for good.

We're reimagining home loans and showing Australia there's a lender on their side. Home loans are all we do. We continue to rewrite the rules of home lending, creating tools, products and policy that put the power back in our customers' hands. Athena has been recognised amongst multiple consumer lending and industry awards including Canstar Outstanding Value and Innovation Excellence awards, RateCity and Mozo awards, and Fintech Lender of the year and made AFR Boss best places to work list.

  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of Athena's credit policies, procedures, and training frameworks.
  • Foster a culture of open risk discussion, continuous learning, and accountability.
