The so-called “Bank Of Mum And Dad” has emerged as the 5th largest lender in Australia. It’s parents lending to their children, and also extends to friends and other family members.
50% of first time home purchases have support from the “Bank Of Mum And Dad”, 33% of start-up, and 25% of SMEs are similarly reliant on financial support from Friends and Family.
In reality it’s always been there, its just got a name. Communities around the world use the “Bank Of Mum And Dad” as a starting point in their financial journey, and in the US it’s the second largest source of finance outside of credit cards.
In truth, financial support from those that know and care for us touches us all, and underpins much of our financial life.
The COVID19 pandemic that is sweeping the world and outside of its impact on people directly health wise, is collapsing financial markets, putting millions of people out of work and causing untold financial hardship.
In this world where people and nations come together, there is even more need for “Bank Of Mum And Dad” to step in, support, help rebuild and invest, in our families, friends, communities and their futures.

A message from BOMAD & Credi founder, Tim Dean
About four years ago I opened my own branch of the ” bank of Mum and Dad ” – helping my kids out financially. I found out very quickly that what started off with wanting to be helpful, could end up with an entirely different outcome. Even loans of a few dollars could end up with the dreaded ” money chat “, and a Sunday lunch ruined.
We set out to build a solution for this, and a simple yet effective piece of technology that makes the process easier, safer, and less liable to end in tears. The tips below are what we’ve learned from thousands of Australians behaviour.
My own experience of lending to my kids ( 27 yr old kids mind you ), is that using a toolkit to help the process gives a structure that makes sense to the borrower and lender. We’ve learned that itsd sometimes right to say no, some time to say yes – but not a good idea to be unclear about help needed, and what both parties are prepared to agree and then stick to.
If I can end with the single most important piece of advice when lending to friends and family – its communicate – when setting up a loan ( or not ) , during the loan if there are any problems meeting repayments, and of course at the end.
The bank of Mum and Dad, generally is the best deal in town, lets work to make it a smooth journey.
