Credit that moves with your portfolio.
Volans lets wealth platforms and advisers offer portfolio-secured lending to their wholesale clients — a new revenue line and a reason for assets to stay, without building a lending business. We carry the licence, the funding and the risk. You keep the client.
Built like a credit business, because it is one.
Figures reflect the Volans team's continuous track record across prior platforms and the current infrastructure.
Offer lending, without building a lender.
A margin lending capability from scratch means a licence, committed funding, a credit team and a margining desk. Volans is all of that, behind your brand.
A better platform, measured in revenue and retention.
A lending margin on assets already sitting on your platform. No balance-sheet risk — Volans is the lender of record, funded by committed banks and financial institutions.
Clients who can borrow don't need to withdraw. A cash need gets funded against the portfolio instead of out of it — and credit gives advisers a reason to consolidate holdings with you.
Licence, funding, credit assessment, margining and monitoring are ours to run. Your build is an integration, not a lending operation.
Your clients never leave your platform. Facilities appear as a feature of your product, in your interface, on your client relationship.
Liquidity for clients, without unwinding the strategy.
Fund the property settlement, the investment, the business need — while the portfolio you've built stays fully invested and compounding.
Selling to raise cash can crystallise gains at the wrong time. Borrowing against the portfolio keeps positions, and timing, intact.
Draw in AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, HKD, NZD, SGD, CHF or CAD today — from a supported universe of 25+ lending currencies, matched to where the money is needed.
Portfolios stay exactly where they are. Access runs through the platform your clients already use — no re-papering, no new accounts to explain.
The risk is handled — so you don't carry it.
Portfolios are lodged, facilities are drawn, and everything in between runs on our own risk engine. Machine-learning models trained on instrument-level behaviour across 27,000+ securities and 60 markets set eligibility and advance rates, and recalibrate continuously as markets move — not overnight, not in batches.
Every instrument is scored individually — not bucketed by asset class.
Set dynamically from liquidity, volatility and concentration, and revisited continuously.
Deterioration is flagged early, prompting engagement before positions become margin events.
Backed by banks and financial institutions.
Committed capacity from a panel of banks and financial institutions sits behind every facility. Volans is the lender of record; the panel provides the depth.
Committed facilities, not best-efforts. Capacity is contracted before a facility is written, so a drawdown never waits on funding.
Volans is the lender of record and carries the credit risk. The platform earns the relationship — and none of the exposure.
Bank and financial institution lines sit side by side, so the book never depends on a single provider's appetite.
Panel composition, provider counts and individual commitments are disclosed to counterparties under NDA. Bar lengths are illustrative only.
One lending layer. Three ways in.
Volans plugs into the channels wholesale clients already use — it doesn't compete with them.

The questions worth asking.
The short answers, before a briefing. Anything deeper — funding composition, integration detail, references — is a conversation.
Yes. Volans is a brand of Glide Digital Pty Ltd, holder of Australian Financial Services Licence No. 537864, operating as a licensed Australian margin lender. Facilities are available exclusively to wholesale clients within the meaning of sections 761G and 761GA of the Corporations Act 2001.
A panel of banks and financial institutions with committed capacity sits behind every facility. Volans is the lender of record; the panel provides the depth. Composition and individual commitments are disclosed to counterparties under NDA.
We work with several of Australia's major platforms. Individual partnerships are confidential — standard practice in this space — so ask us on a call and we'll get specific.
Broadly, yes. Borrowing against an investment portfolio is known as Lombard lending in European and Asian private banking, and margin lending in Australia. We use the term portfolio-secured lending because it describes the product plainly — a credit facility secured against a portfolio of listed securities and funds, delivered through the platforms where those portfolios already sit.
Listed equities, ETFs, managed funds and fixed income across 60 markets — 27,000+ eligible securities in total. Eligibility and advance rates are set instrument by instrument by our risk engine, not bucketed by asset class.
AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, HKD, NZD, SGD, CHF and CAD are active today, from a supported universe of 25+ lending currencies. Additional currencies are available on request.
The integration surface is deliberately small — your platform connects to our risk engine for eligibility, facility and margining data, and the lending operation stays on our side of the line. The path is scope, integrate, pilot, scale. A briefing covers the specifics.
Wholesale clients — including family offices — are welcome to contact us directly. In most cases we'll connect you with a platform or adviser partner so the facility sits inside infrastructure you already use. Volans products are not available to retail investors.
Put the portfolio to work.
Access is available to wholesale clients through advisers, platforms and institutional partners. Tell us which channel you're in and we'll take it from there.
