Why We Founded Skip

Our journey began when we realised our friends were being divided into the homeownership ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’. Not because of how hard they worked, the jobs they had, or even whether they were good borrowers or great savers, but primarily based on whether they had access to the Bank of Mum & Dad.



As first and second-generation Australians, 'the lucky country' is more than just a phrase. It's our lived experience. We're beneficiaries of the Australian 'Fair Go' in every sense. We've had access to opportunity, independently of who we are, where we came from, and perhaps most importantly, who our parents are. We think the 'Fair Go' has gone missing from homeownership, and we're determined to help more Australians unlock the dream of owning their home.



We started Skip to help you (hard-working, talented Australians) get onto the property ladder and move further up it. We’ve focused on removing fees, reducing upfront costs (your deposit) and optimising loans for young Australian families. We’re thrilled you’re here and would love to be part of your homeownership story.
