Dan grew up on the Sunshine Coast and he and his 3 boys now enjoy everything the Coast has to offer. Ume Loans started in 2009 and operates from their Head office in Maroochydore.

Dan says, “Like me, my staff possess a real passion for achieving loan approvals for our customers. This is what separates us from other finance companies.”

After graduating year 12, Dan began his banking and finance career at Westpac Banking Corporation in Brisbane in 1988. He worked for the bank for seven years, excelling in his career and working his way up to management. While working for Westpac, Dan also began (and later completed) his Bachelor’s in Business, with a major in Banking and Finance.

After leaving Westpac, he began his 10-year role with Avco Finance and Insurance (now known as Latitude Financial Services). Dan held a few positions within his company, including branch manager of several finance branches, and area manager of the retail/interest free division.

At this point, Dan wanted to expand his finance experience and personal and professional achievements, and accepted a role as a finance broker with Capitalcorp Finance and Leasing in 2005.

In 2006, Dan established Fox Finance Group and then in 2009, Ume Loans was introduced to the finance industry with Dan explaining, “After over 20 years” experience with several finance companies, I decided to establish Ume Loans to offer good customers the second chance they deserve.”

Ume Loans is wholly Australian owned and operated.
