Empowering growing Australian and New Zealand businesses with flexible, tailored debt solutions.

Experience, expertise and results.

Arrowpoint Capital is an Australian-based lender dedicated to providing flexible, purpose-driven debt and hybrid debt solutions to mid-market companies in Australia and New Zealand. Our strength is understanding more complex borrower requirements and responding in a timely and bespoke manner.

Arrowpoint was founded as a result of the large funding gap that exists between what the major banks can provide and growing demand from corporate borrowers.

We are backed by significant and reputable shareholders including the Victor Smorgon Group (VSG), Sandbar Investments and our Chairman, Stephen Koseff.
