Phil Verheijen’s path from banking to mortgage brokering showcases a dedication to providing personalised service and crafting financial solutions to meet individual needs. With notable experience in banks like NAB, ANZ, and Lloyds TSB Bank in the UK, Phil has honed his skills in both personal and commercial finance over 12 years, complemented by a Bachelor of Business (Finance) and an MBA in International Business.
Driven by the goal to offer more customised lending options, Phil launched Professional Lending Solutions in 2014. His transition into mortgage brokering was inspired by a commitment to put customer needs first. This philosophy means every client receives focused attention and tailored financial strategies, setting the foundation of his business approach.
Phil’s extensive background in banking provides him with a vast knowledge of lending options, ranging from straightforward home loans to more complex commercial lending scenarios involving borrowings upwards of $30 million. Phil thrives on solving challenging financial problems, often finding solutions when others see none, thanks to his innovative thinking and commercial banking insights. His approach has attracted a diverse client base, 65% of whom are self-employed.
Phil values building strong relationships with his clients, treating them as partners in their financial journeys rather than mere numbers on a page. His dedication is reflected in numerous positive reviews and a collection of industry awards, including being named ‘All Round Broker of the Year’ at the 2023 Connective Excellence Awards and ‘Best Finance Broker in QLD’ at the 2023 Better Business Awards.
Outside of work, Phil devotes as much time as possible to his family, coaching his son’s rugby team, and supporting his daughter’s netball team. He’s actively involved in his community, holding board positions in various non-profit and sporting organisations and sponsoring local sports clubs.
