Welcome

ASTL’s function is to protect and promote the interests of its members and to give confidence to all of the parties who transact business with the members. As the name implies the members are financial companies who provide loans and mortgages for short terms, usually no longer than one year.

ASTL’s offices are open 5 days a week. Personal visits are strictly by appointment.
