Since 2011, Metro has been working with trusted brokers to deliver reliable and competitive vehicle and equipment loans to hard working Australians.  In that time, we’ve financed over $4bn in loans and helped over 50,000 customers.

Starting with loans to business we’ve built on our commercial experience to now offer consumer vehicle loans and novated leases.  Metro is wholly Australian owned and independent, backed by shareholder equity and Australian institutional funding, giving brokers and their clients an alternative to traditional bank funding.

Balmain holds a 50% stake in Metro.
