Mortgage and Finance Professional
About Philip Jenkins
Philip Jenkins is a highly experienced mortgage and finance professional based in Brisbane, Queensland, with nearly two decades of expertise helping Australians access smarter lending solutions.
As the founder of A Loan For You, Philip’s mission is to provide every client — from first-home buyers to seasoned investors — with ethical, flexible, and results-driven loan options tailored to their goals.
With over 42 lenders on his panel and 30 active lender relationships, Philip is known for finding solutions where others can’t. His approach blends deep financial knowledge with genuine care for client success.
Professional Journey
Philip’s career began in hospitality, both in Australia and the UK, before transitioning to finance in 2005. His early years in wealth creation and mortgage broking shaped his belief that lending should empower people — not limit them.
After 15 years with Loan Market, Philip founded A Loan For You during the COVID-19 pandemic. Disenchanted by the lack of personal support from large corporate lenders, he launched his own brand to offer more flexibility, better communication, and a client-first experience.
Today, Philip Jenkins provides a full range of loans — from residential mortgages and investment loans to business and commercial lending, car loans in Brisbane, and personal lending in Brisbane.

Financial Insights
Philip Jenkins believes financial literacy and preparation are key to wealth creation. He regularly educates clients on topics like:
- Preparing your credit file for your first loan
- Avoiding common borrowing mistakes
- Understanding digital lending and fast-track approvals
- Structuring loans for long-term wealth
His advice is simple: “Start planning early and speak with a broker before you’re ready — preparation creates options.”
“There is always a problem in life, but the problem is just an event without a solution yet. The right answer comes with time, patience, and research.”
Outside the office, Philip enjoys NRL, family time on Moreton Bay, and boating or jetskiing with his children. His approachable, down-to-earth nature is reflected in how he works with clients — building long-term relationships based on trust, honesty, and results.
