Fintech drives personal loan demand

Recent data from Equifax has shown a surge in personal loan applications compared to credit cards. Senior GM of consumer products at Equifax Angus Luffman believes the uptake is due to innovations in personal lending products, such as peer-to-peer loans.

The startup sector has criticised the Federal Government's decision to eliminate the 457 visa scheme, which allows businesses to employ skilled workers in specific occupations.
