Bendigo Bank Broker joins Mortgage Choice panel

Bendigo Bank said that more than 1,000 Mortgage Choice brokers are now able to offer clients the bank’s home loan products for the first time and have access to the bank’s digital lending platform.

Mortgage Choice previously had Adelaide Bank (now Bendigo Bank) on its panel, which will now come under the Bendigo Bank Broker banner.

The general manager of third-party banking at Bendigo Bank, Darren Kasehagen, commented on the partnership: “We’re thrilled to have onboarded another great Australian aggregator in Mortgage Choice, with a vast mortgage broker network who pride themselves on finding the right home loan for their customers to realise their property dreams.”

Phillip Horder, director and national panel partner solutions at Mortgage Choice, said that the aggregator was “excited” to partner with Bendigo Bank.

He said: “We’re excited to be partnering with Bendigo Bank, to bring a digital experience with fast turnaround times and full visibility of loan status to our brokers.

“This level of service is important to our brokers, who strive to make the borrowing process as seamless as possible for their customers.”

Bendigo Bank Broker launched at the end of 2023, with Finsure being the first aggregator to partner with the bank and use its new digital lending platform.

The bank also partnered with Specialist Finance Group (SFG) and outsource Financial in April of this year, increasing its reach to a further 1,000 brokers.

Bendigo Bank loans became available to all Adelaide Bank accredited SFG brokers on 26 March, whereas outsource Financial had three stages of progressive onboarding, starting on 2 April, for Adelaide Bank accredited brokers.
