One Payslip, One Approval: How Lenders Are Making Finance Easier for Full-Time Employees

If you're a full-time worker looking to upgrade your vehicle or invest in new equipment, there's good news - some lenders are now approving finance with just one payslip.

Navigating finance shouldn't feel like jumping through hoops, especially when you're already working full-time and need quick access to a vehicle or essential equipment.

At Motorlend, we’re always looking for ways to make finance easier, faster, and more accessible. That’s why we’re excited to share that two of our lender partners - Branded Financial and The Asset Financier - are approving eligible applicants using just one payslip.

Yes, only one. No bank statements, no employer letters, no unnecessary back-and-forth.

What’s Changed?

Traditionally, lenders would ask for:

  • Two or three recent payslips
  • An employment contract or offer letter
  • Up to three months of bank statements

But these newer policies recognise that full-time, permanent employees typically earn stable and predictable incomes. By reducing paperwork, these lenders are creating a faster and more client-friendly experience without compromising responsible lending.

This update is particularly helpful for:

  • Employees who recently started a new role
  • People needing quick finance for a car, ute, or tools
  • Borrowers who want a low-doc option without inflated rates

Who Are the Lenders?

Branded Financial

Branded has been stepping up as a go-to lender for consumer car loans, offering fast and flexible finance for prime and near-prime applicants. Their one-payslip policy applies to full-time PAYG workers with:

  • At least three months in their current role (or less if they have strong history)
  • Clean credit history
  • Proof of stable income

They’re a great fit for car loans up to around $80,000, and their rates often beat traditional dealer finance. Approvals typically come through in 24 to 48 hours.

The Asset Financier

We also partner with a national lender who applies this simplified policy to both vehicle and equipment finance for PAYG employees and sole traders who draw a wage.

They’re ideal for:

  • Full-time employees in trades, logistics, health, and construction
  • Borrowers looking to finance tools, machinery, or tech
  • Applicants with strong profiles but limited documents on hand

They offer rates on par with the major banks, without all the usual admin.

Real Example: Fast Finance for a Full-Time Tradie

One of our recent clients, a full-time plumber, needed a new ute urgently after his vehicle broke down. With only one payslip available, he assumed the process would be difficult.

Instead, we matched him with one of these flexible lenders. His loan was approved and settled within three business days. No paperwork dramas. Just a straightforward deal and a new vehicle on the road.

Why This Matters

Finance should fit into your life, not slow it down. By working with lenders who understand modern employment, we help clients:

  • Get approved faster
  • Avoid unnecessary paperwork
  • Secure competitive rates with less hassle

If you're a full-time employee and only have your most recent payslip available, there’s a good chance that’s all you need to move forward.
