Commercial Settlement Officer

About Bennji

Bennji is a forward-thinking business within a well-established parent company, Solvar Limited. Our mission is to lead the way in customer engagement through innovative, responsive and flexible solutions.

We empower Australian businesses with reliable and straightforward finance options for vehicles, equipment, and more, taking the complexity and stress out of commercial finance. Our commitment is to deliver fast, flexible financing designed to fuel our customers' growth—whether it's upgrading a work vehicle, investing in essential equipment, or expanding a fleet.

At Bennji, we focus on efficiency, transparency, and building genuine partnerships. Our tailored loan solutions are crafted to streamline every step of the process, allowing our customers to concentrate on what matters most: running and expanding their business with confidence.

About the Role

As a Commercial Settlements Officer at Bennji, you'll be pivotal in delivering a seamless and efficient settlement experience for our commercial lending customers. This is a hands-on role requiring close collaboration with a diverse range of stakeholders, including brokers, customers and internal teams. You will take charge of coordinating the settlement process from initial loan approval right through to the successful release of funds, ensuring all steps are completed accurately, on time, and in line with regulatory and company standards. Day to day you will:

• Co-ordinate and manage the entire settlement process for commercial finance transactions, acting as the main point of contact for all parties involved. Proactively monitor progress, identify potential roadblocks, and facilitate smooth communication to keep settlements on track.
• Engage regularly with external brokers and internal teams to gather required documentation, clarify settlement requirements, and provide timely updates.
• Check all settlement documentation including loan contracts, identification, and compliance checklists—to ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to both internal policies and regulatory obligations.
• Confirm that every pre-settlement condition such as signed contracts, insurance, and security documentation, has been satisfied before funds are released.
• Assist with the accreditation of new Brokers, working alongside the sales team to gather required information, submit for approval and create the relationship in both the loan application portal and loans management system.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means delivering timely and accurate settlements, upholding the highest standards of compliance, and maintaining strong, professional relationships with all stakeholders. Your dedication to process improvement will help Bennji continue to offer industry-leading service, empowering Australian businesses to grow with confidence.
