What's the one thing I need when I borrow?

An MFAA member.

When most people look for a Mortgage, Home Loan or Business Finance, they're pre-occupied with numbers - who's offering the lowest interest rate? But in choosing the right Mortgage Broker, Finance Broker or Lender, there's something else you should be looking for. The right letters: MFAA.

Raising the bar for Mortgage Brokers, Finance Brokers & Lenders

MFAA stands for the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia.

MFAA was formed to raise standards among Mortgage Brokers, Finance Brokers, Mortgage Managers and Lenders. It is now the peak industry body, representing over 12,500 Mortgage, Home Loan and Finance Professionals across the country.

Accredited Mortgage Brokers, Finance Brokers and Lenders

To be accredited by MFAA, Mortgage Brokers, Finance Brokers, Mortgage Managers and Lenders must satisfy rigorous criteria on education, experience and ethics. To remain a member, they must demonstrate they have maintained those standards and kept up-to-date with the latest Mortgage and Finance Industry developments.

So when you choose an MFAA-accredited Mortgage Broker, Finance Broker or Lender, you can be sure you're dealing with someone who has demonstrated knowledge, experience and integrity.
