Who we are
FINDATSER PTY LTD (ABN 40 692 476 716) is a privately-owned Australian finance brokerage, led by Patrick Doherty. We are authorised credit representatives of Purple Circle Financial Services Pty Ltd, an Australian Credit Licence holder, which gives us access to a panel of 55 accredited lenders across home, commercial, investment, asset finance, and reverse mortgage lending.
We work across a panel of 55 lenders, not for any one of them — our job is to compare, structure, and recommend, with you at the centre of every decision.
Why we exist
Most Australians interact with the finance system a handful of times in their life — buying a first home, refinancing, releasing equity in retirement. The industry is set up for people who do this every day. We're here to tip that back.
We built FINDATSER around three ideas:
- Clarity — plain English, no jargon, every number explained.
- Breadth — 55 lenders instead of 4, so the recommendation reflects the market, not a short list.
- Time — we take the time to explain the options, especially for clients who are new to it or coming back to it after many years.
What we stand for
Best interests, every file
The Best Interests Duty isn't a tick-box. We document why each recommendation is right for you and share that reasoning before you sign anything.
No cost to you
Our fee is paid by the lender we place your loan with. There's no obligation and no fee for the comparison itself.
Here for the long run
Loans aren't one-off transactions. We stay in touch for annual reviews so your loan keeps pace with the market and your life.
Accessible by design
The site is built with older Australians in mind — large text, high contrast, clear structure, phone support for anyone who prefers to talk.
Local, Australia-wide
Based in Sydney, licensed to work with clients anywhere in Australia — in person, by phone, or video.
Technology that helps
We use secure, modern tools to make it easier for you to see your options, track your application, and keep your documents in one place.
How we work
Every file follows the same nine-step process, from first conversation through to settlement. There's no cost until the loan is approved, and no obligation at any stage.
See the full step-by-step process on the home page.
Our team
FINDATSER is led by Patrick Doherty, Credit Representative Number 574670. Patrick has worked across lending, data, and client services, and set up FINDATSER to combine those three threads into something simpler for the client.
We work with a wider network of referrers — accountants, financial planners, real estate agents, and settlement professionals — whose client introductions are governed by a signed Referrer Agreement and clear commission disclosure.
