Speaking about ANZ, Mr Symond said the bank had told the mortgage broker that “they couldn’t deliver the funding”.
"We've been out there trying to get as much funding as we can – we are still part-funded by Commonwealth Bank, but we're looking for billions more."

Aussie formed a strategic alliance with Origin, ANZ's wholesale mortgage funding business, back in 1999.
