Over the last two years, the sentiment survey has shown growing support among brokers towards the non-bank sector, as the financial landscape continues to improve post GFC.
In the Q3 survey, 81.8 per cent of brokers said they would recommend non-bank products to their clients over the coming quarter – up 6.5 per cent on this time last year.
Another independent survey commissioned by Homeloans Ltd has supported the survey’s latest findings, with 82 per cent of brokers indicating that non-bank lenders offer a competitive alternative to the majors.
Homeloans’ general manager of third party distribution Tony Carn said the results clearly reflect the industry’s confidence in the non-bank sector.
