  • What's happened that brokers are now offering added cashback from their own commission?

    • It's been a thing for a long time with some, though I guess higher interest rates give the banks room to pay out a bit more commission to brokers also maybe.

    • Traditionally, brokers are paid an upfront commission by the lender after a loan settles. In recent years, competition between brokers has increased significantly, so some brokers choose to share part of their commission with clients as a form of cashback incentive.

      For me, it’s simply a way of providing additional value to clients while still helping them secure a competitive loan structure and interest rate. The cashback is funded from my own commission — not by increasing the client’s interest rate or fees.

    • This always existed, brokers just didn't self advertise on OzB

  • What about fixed rates?
    Also if i buy an rundown place can i use the homeloan to help fix it up to live in?

    • Yes, in some cases if you purchase a rundown property, there may be options to include renovation or improvement costs as part of the home loan, depending on the lender and the extent of the works required. This can sometimes be done through a renovation loan, construction loan, or by using available equity after settlement. I’d be happy to explore what options may suit your situation.
      pls email me so we can discuss further

      • total loan amount should be single property or combined can be more than 1.5m to receive max cashback.

        • it can be combined!

          feel free to email me so we can discuss your scenarios and options.

          thanks

  • Most certainly a deal, though the mortgage broker is taking home less.

    • We share commissions with our customers which is beneficial to customers and our business

  • Not bad and interesting way for broker to increase business. I wonder how banks feel to lose customers through brokers as 80% loans are now done through them.

    Fun fact: Royal commission into banking recommended customers pay for mortgage broker services, not banks.

    • brokers offer more options to customers and make the application process smoother.

      with brokers, customers dont need to shop around between different banks themselves.

    • Fun fact: Royal commission into banking recommended customers pay for mortgage broker services, not banks.

      this would actually be more beneficial for the customer as the broker can then do a comparison across all lenders (not just ones that pay brokers) including online only ones which actually often have the lowest rates.

  • But of a bummer having to wait 25mths to be paid out.

    • it is to secure that customers are staying with us for at least 24 months, otherwise bank will claw back our commissions.

  • Why is bank of china rate so high? I refinanced to them less than a year ago and got my $2,888 cashback and my variable rate is 5.83% with comparison rate of 5.88%

    Do you have any other banks I can refinance to or is bank of china the only option you offer? People first bank are doing some great rates at the moment. @AussieMortgageBroker

    • it is higher now because RBA raised the rate 3 times this year.

      we deal with most banks/lenders in Australia as long as they operates in broker channel.

      bank of china is one of the most competitive banks in the market because of its good rate and cashback.

      happy to discuss further regarding your options.

      would you please email me if you are interested?

      thanks

      • Yes I will email you. RBA raising rates has nothing to do with it though because it’s all relative. My rate has been raising at the same rate as the RBA rate increases

  • My loan only has 120k remaining… 6.89%

    • you can choose to cash out to borrow more if needed

      • What if my goal is to pay off my loan? If I borrow more, wouldn't that defeat that purpose? Sorry for dumb questions

  • Sent through an email

  • How much comission do you earn on a $500,000 loan? In other words, if I approach the bank directly, how much are they pocketing vs. paying out your comission?

    • we get roughly 3000+gst which varies a bit between banks/lenders.

      banks pay us commissions to get customers and 75% of new residential homeloans are arranged through brokers

      it is the agreement between us and banks.

      • Thanks for answering. To be honest, I've never understood the economics of mortgage broking. I wish banks didn't automatically bake your commission into their costs, and borrowers who would like to pay extra for your services could choose do so out of their own pockets.

        • Brokers also get a trail commission which is about 0.15-0.25% of the balance of the loan value paid monthly until the loan expires.
          Simply put its like a sub contracting the work so that bank does not have to employ more people. I don’t think bank will impose that commission expense into broker channel. Rather broker tends to get 0.05% lower interest rate than banks advertised rate from my experience.

          • @Just Invest: I am sure you meant to the same thing but to clarify.
            Trailing comisions are 0.15% - 0.25% per annum, paid monthly.

      • Does broker send all docs from customer to bank ? Or Broker summarise information and get banks to approve home loans ?

    • It's easy to google the commission rates banks pay to brokers. The initial payment is 0.5-0.6% of the net loan amount (ie loan amount - amount in offset account) then a trailing 0.15%-0.2% pa of the net loan amount calculated and paid monthly then you still have the loan.

      Banks "clawback" the initial payment if you discharge the loan within 2 years (100% if you leave within a year, 50% if you leave within 2 years). Hence brokers will never encourage you to leave within 2 years even if a better product or rate comes out within that period. Also, some brokers will tell you they got a "better than advertised" rate but are actually just deducting a portion or whole of their trailing commission.

      • Also, some brokers will tell you they got a "better than advertised" rate but are actually just deducting a portion or whole of their trailing commission. - this is NOT TRUE. Please don’t spread rumors.

        • Show me a broker that gives a better than 0.2% off advertised rate

          • @star-ggg: Mate, there is nothing to prove. You can either learn or argue.

            • @GuyfromMelbourne: Let's assume what you say is true- brokers can get better than advertised rates. What is the business case of this for the bank? That they want to increase sales through the broker channel? Then this discount should be offered to all brokers and all brokers would be advertising this to grab sales. Never seen this.
              Maybe your broker is "really good". They know how to "work the system". But the banking profit model is very simple- they borrow on market and lend it to you at a higher rate, with that that rate being set by the group level profit margin which is set by the business strategy and shareholder expected return on investment. Would they set individual profit margins for each loan? Possibly there is some small variation but then again why would this particular broker be given the loans with the lowest profit margins?
              Or maybe your broker "knows someone". So they know someone who can bypass the group risk models? That's either outright fraud or APRA is going to come down on the bank with a ton of fines for having a risk system that writes high probability insolvent loans.

              • @star-ggg: I never said my broker or any broker can get better rates. Banks normally avoid channel conflicts, so neither staff nor broker has an advantage. In some cases staff might have a little edge. But the broker has access to more banks so they can compete because of that.

                I just wanted to point out that brokers let go of commission to get better rates. That’s not true.

                People fail to understand that someone has to do the work, either bank staff or broker. Bank either pays salary to staff or commission to broker. Either way it has no impact on your customer’s rate.

  • Why is the comparison rate so high?

    • Also interested to know why there is such a difference between rate and comp rate - high yearly/monthly fees?

      • for sure it's the fees

        • Most banks charge 395 annual package fee or just an offset fee on monthly basis.

          ASIC requires lenders to calculate it using a standard example loan:

          $150,000
          25-year term

          So if a loan has a low headline rate but high fees, the comparison rate will be noticeably higher.

          However, comparison rates also have limitations:

          They may not include all fees
          They are based on a standard loan scenario, not your actual loan size or term
          Offset accounts, redraw, and special features may affect real costs differently

          For larger loans in places like Sydney, the comparison rate can sometimes be less meaningful because the standard ASIC example loan is much smaller than typical mortgage sizes today.

  • Do those loans have fee-free offset accounts?

    • Suncorp offers free offset-accoun.

      As per their current promotion, $375 annual package fee will be charged and reimbursed while package is active. Savings based on 30-year loan term. Offer subject to change.

  • https://service.asic.gov.au/ states the credit representative number as 000556697 which does not match the number you have stated, why is this?

    • It does maches on me end. 558002

    • https://service.asic.gov.au/Search/

      Please search 558002 which is my Credit representative number.

      If you have any further question, please let me know.

      • When I search for My Approved Finance Group, it comes up with the 000556697 credit representative number.

        • My Approved Finance Group is my company name.

          I practice home loans under my own credit representative number which is 558002.

          Finsure is my aggregator.

          Thanks

  • so broker gets upfront
    12 months later, after broker gets trail, broker pays back a large chunk of the commission
    24 months later, broker gets more trail, broker pays more to customer

    Technically it works - but technically it fits the definition of pyramid scheme

    • we do it this way because usually banks claw back 100% if client leaves within 12 months and 50% if client leaves within 12-24 months.

      As long as customers stay within that period, we share our commission with customers.

      We aim to keep a long and healthy win-win relationship with customers.

      thanks

  • How soon should I wait after I refinanced with a bank directly (recieving bank cashback) to refinnace again through you? Obviously I will need to stay the full 25mths to realise the broker cashbacks.

    • you can refinance through us anytime after you last refinance. no minimum time limit

  • “ • Cashback calculations are based on the lender’s net settled loan amount calculation method, after deducting redraw and offset balances.”

    So there’s not much point if your loan is almost fully offset?

    • usually banks calculates the net balance in 1-2 weeks after settlement.

      which bank are you with and what is your current loan balance?

      Would you please email me Leon@approvedfinance.com.au?

      Thanks

  • How much cash back you offer for a loan of $400k?

  • Currently owing about 2.99M with ~250K in offset acccounts at 6.00% with Westpac. Loan started at 3M in Dec 2025.
    Makes sense to refinance?

  • Is it Owner occupied or an Investment property? what is the valuation of the house?

    happy to discuss in further details.

    Would you please email me Leon@approvedfinance.com.au ?

    Thanks

  • Thanks for sharing. How come there is such a big gap in rate and comparison rate? Do they have like $750 annual fees?

    Owner Occupied from 5.88% p.a(Comparison Rate 6.31%)

    Also 6.31% rate would be higher than most lender. Is that he best you have got owner occupied with that 500,000 scenario

    • I am also interested in knowing this

    • Most banks charge 395 annual package fee or just an offset fee. on monthly basis.

      ASIC requires lenders to calculate it using a standard example loan:

      $150,000
      25-year term

      So if a loan has a low headline rate but high fees, the comparison rate will be noticeably higher.

      However, comparison rates also have limitations:

      They may not include all fees

      For larger loans in places like Sydney, the comparison rate can sometimes be less meaningful because the standard ASIC example loan is much smaller than typical mortgage sizes today.

      • thanks i understand but you didn't answer the question. The scenario listed is for $500,000. So what are the exact fees to make this comparison rate so high. None of other backs on that same sceanrio have such a large gap that charge $395 annual fees.

        Also their true rate is 6.31% which again is very high currently in the market. It's even higher than big 4 lenders.
        Is that the best rate you can offer?

  • I am not able to send an email and send you a message, can you reach out to me with options to contact you? Thanks

  • Hi Aussie Broker - still waiting for your answer?

  • Thanks for your OZ b message!

    I am With Bank of China - Looking to find out what cashback options I have available from the bank on top of your 1K cashback?

    This is my email which is failing multiple time reaching to you, I have also messaged you on WhatsApp a few days ago for same, yet to hear back.

    • sorry for late response.

      I have just replied your whatsapp message.

      thanks

  • Does anyone have/had a home loan with BOC, what is the banking experience like (pros/cons)?
    Thanks in advance!

    • pros: good rate and cashback
      cons: slow application procedure, customers need to go to the branch to open offset bank account.

      • Have DM'ed you on whatsapp. No response received yet.

  • AussieMortgageBroker, "offering a broker cashback of between $2,200 and $6,600, depending on the settled loan amount.", where is $2200 coming from? It's not in your Broker Cashback Structure.

    • it is from my commission from the bank

      • I meant $2,200 is not in your stated cashback structure.

        Broker Cashback Structure:
        • $500k – $750k : $2,000 cashback
        • $750k – $1m: $3,000 cashback
        • $1m – $1.5m: $4,000 cashback
        • $1.5m and above: $6,600 cashback
