About us
About Your Mortgage Broker Menai
Your Mortgage Broker Menai exists to give Menai borrowers something a bank branch never could: one named, accountable person, a panel of lenders behind them, and a process you can check at every step.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Menai
Getting a home loan used to mean ringing one bank and taking whatever it offered, with nobody to check the answer against. Your Mortgage Broker Menai was started to put an accountable person and an auditable process between local borrowers and lenders.
Who You Actually Deal With
A brand with no history has to earn trust a different way, and the only substitute we accept is a named person with checkable credentials, so here is exactly who fronts this business:
The Broker on File
Every file sits directly with Your Mortgage Broker Menai, who signs off personally on each written recommendation that reaches you before anything is lodged with any lender on your behalf. The same accountable broker handles your file from first call to settlement.
Local Case Experience
Families here carry a median household mortgage repayment near $2,600 a month, and Your Mortgage Broker Menai has structured loans across exactly this kind of file: substantial homes on dual incomes in a suburb where almost half the dwellings remain mortgaged today.
No Handoffs, Ever
When you ring, you speak with the person who wrote your strategy, lodged your application and followed the file to settlement, and that same person stays your contact afterwards, so nothing is lost between departments or repeated to a stranger.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
Most broker sites bury this section, usually because the honest answer involves a conflict of interest. You deserve the numbers first, so here it is without hedging.

What you pay
When a fee applies
Now the uncomfortable part. Commission amounts vary a little between lenders, so a broker is paid slightly differently depending on where your loan lands. Denying that would be insulting; managing it is straightforward. Every recommendation comes with the reasoning written down: which policies were compared, the trade-offs, and what we earn in each scenario, so you can audit the advice.
Is it worth using a broker at all? Any panel, however wide, is still not every lender in the market, so a broker is a very wide filter rather than the whole market. Against that, you get someone who reads credit policy for a living, assembles the file properly and answers when you call, which for most time-poor households is a trade worth making.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Rather than vague claims about credibility, here is the paperwork, with the actual numbers, all of which you can independently verify before engaging us:
Australian Credit Licence
Your Mortgage Broker Menai operates as a credit representative authorised under Australian Credit Licence 389328, held by [LICENSEE NAME], which means the lending conduct behind every recommendation sits inside a licensed, regulated framework that you can independently verify before engaging anybody here.
Credit Representative Status
Our credit representative number is 370592, and that registration ties the individual broker on your file directly to the licensee's supervision, so accountability runs to a named person and a licensed entity rather than stopping at an anonymous brand.
External Accountability
The business is a credit representative with number 370592 and operates under the Australian Credit Licence 389328, published in the footer, which gives you an external body to hold the business accountable to, independent of the licence itself.
AFCA Dispute Resolution
The business is a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent external dispute resolution scheme, so if you disagree with our conduct you can take the matter there rather than relying on us to judge our own conduct.
How We Work With You
The same published process runs for every client: a conversation, a calculated borrowing capacity, a written shortlist across the panel, then lodgement and management through to settlement and review, whether you need refinance home loans or first home buyer loans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Menai?

How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
In almost every case the lender pays us commission when your loan settles, and a smaller amount while the loan runs, and neither comes out of your pocket or changes the rate the lender offers you.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Possibly, because commission varies slightly between lenders, and we name that conflict openly rather than deny it. Our answer is putting the reasoning behind every recommendation in writing, so you can see exactly why each lender was chosen.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will work to fix it quickly. If unresolved, you can escalate to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent dispute scheme that is free for you to use.
How many lenders can you actually access?
We work with a panel of lenders spanning major banks, smaller banks and non-bank lenders. The exact current count comes from our licensee, and we will tell you which lenders we can approach when we speak.
