Pepper Flexi Advantage is designed for customers who, due to restrictive credit criteria, are unable to meet the lending criteria of banks and mortgage insurers.

This home loan makes it easier for borrowers to purchase or refinance their home or investment property, consolidate their debts, or raise working capital for business purposes.

Pepper Flexi Advantage also offers solutions for customers who have had minor credit problems or who lack the minimum 5% genuine savings required by banks and mortgage insurers*.
