The Biz Core vs. EasyLodge Comparison
Both loan management software platforms boast a wealth of features. Only one gives you the complete picture from the outset, without making you choose a package tier first. Discover why lenders across Australia are making the switch from EasyLodge to Biz Core.
A Complete End-to-End System Integration
EasyLodge structures its lending management and payment processing platforms across three separate tiers.
The entry-level Servicer™ package covers loan management only. When your lending company needs to unlock origination, a borrower portal, credit decisioning, and broker management functions, EasyLodge requires you to step up to the Originator™ + Servicer™ package, which starts at $2,750 per month. Then, for dedicated support and advanced configuration, you’ll need to upgrade further to the Enterprise tier.
Why Biz Core Is Different
Biz Core includes all aspects that you expect in a traditional LOAMS Platform (Loans – Origination, Assessment, Management, Services, i.e. CRM, Customer Portal, Reporting and Transactional Services). But there is one vital point of difference; Biz Core is also a licensed Direct Debit Initiator, which enables us to offer a fully integrated, end-to-end Platform. For our clients, this means one point of contact, with greater control and confidence. With Biz Core, every vital process is fully integrated and reacts in real-time. The result is complete operational awareness, all within a single platform.
For established Australian lenders considering their loan management system options, the question isn’t just which platform has the features you need. The better question to ask is which one gives you all of them, when you need them, without the added expense and work required to get there.

5 Reasons Established Lenders Choose Biz Core
Very rarely, if ever, does the choice to switch loan management platforms come down to the inclusion or exclusion of a single feature or function. Confidence is ultimately what matters; you want and expect assurance that your loan management software will improve your operations, that the team behind it actually stays behind it when you need them, and that the price you agreed to is the price you’ll pay. These five areas reflect where Biz Core consistently delivers.
1. Go Live in Weeks, Not Months
Biz Core’s average onboarding runs 4–6 weeks for standard implementations. We can complete some straightforward setups in as little as 2-3 weeks, and can set up new clients with access to their Staging Environment usually within days. This is to provide our team with important UI and Operational Configuration feedback, as well as give lenders valuable training time before go-live. EasyLodge leaves you in the dark by keeping its implementation timelines off its website, and its multi-tier, modular platform means scoping, configuration, and go-live timeframes will vary significantly based on the package and integrations involved.
For lenders moving off a legacy system or Excel-managed loan book, every extra week of delay is a week of operational risk and revenue you’re not capturing.
Biz Core: 4–6 weeks average. Potentially as fast as 2–3 weeks.
EasyLodge: Not disclosed.
2. Everything Included. No Tiers. No Upgrades.
Biz Core is a single loan management software platform at a single price. From day one, you have access to included loan origination and servicing, payments, collections, reporting and accounting functions, as well as a borrower portal. Unlike EasyLodge, Biz Core won’t require you to upgrade to a second package at nearly three times the price to access loan origination and credit decisioning functions. And we certainly won’t make you sign up for an Enterprise tier to get dedicated support.
With EasyLodge, the capabilities most established lenders need from day one – origination, credit decisioning, borrower portal, broker management, and e-signatures – are included in the Originator + Servicer package, starting at a minimum of $2,750 per month. Dedicated Customer Success Manager support is only available at the Enterprise tier, from $4,950/month.
One system. One invoice. One support team. No upgrade required.
3. No Lock-in Contract
EasyLodge’s standard contract term is 24 months, as stated on their pricing page. Biz Core does not require a lock-in contract. For lenders who are switching providers – or who are assessing multiple platforms before committing – contract flexibility is a meaningful part of the decision.
You should stay on a platform because it performs. Not because an agreement requires it.
Stay because the platform earns it. Not because a contract locks you in.
4. Australian Team. Unlimited Support. From Day One.
Biz Core boasts a local support team that understands the regulatory environment in which non-bank lenders operate. Once you go live, we can provide you with unlimited support; there are no caps on hours, and no ticket queues. The two-week hypercare period after go-live means you receive dedicated, hands-on support during the most critical phase of your implementation.
EasyLodge provides training and technical support across all packages, but for access to a Dedicated Customer Success Manager and priority configuration turnaround, you’ll need to sign up for the Enterprise tier.
Unlimited support + 2-week hypercare at go-live. No tiers. No rationed access.
5. Built End-to-End, Not Module by Module
Biz Core was built as a complete end-to-end loan management system from the ground up. Each stage of the lending lifecycle runs natively within one environment. You don’t need to connect additional modules or manage separate systems.
EasyLodge publishes three packages: Servicer™, Originator™ + Servicer™, and Enterprise. For lenders needing both origination and servicing, the combined package starts from $2,750/month + GST.
From first application to final payout. One system. No gaps.

This gives them time and opportunity to offer configuration feedback or revisions as they learn to navigate the UI and build user confidence before go-live.

Biz Core also provides a dedicated two-week hypercare period after go-live.
Does Biz Core require a lock-in contract?
