The aggregation company has welcomed a non-bank lender to its lender panel.

AFG’s head of sales and distribution, Chris Slater, welcomed Firstmac’s addition to the AFG lender panel, commenting: “As a leading Australian non-bank lender, Firstmac provides a competitive lending alternative to the major banks.

“AFG’s brokers are focused every day on helping their customers navigate their lending options, and Firstmac has an excellent customer-first culture that resonates well with our brokers.  

 
 

“We look forward to working with the Firstmac team.”

The mortgage lender currently manages approximately $13 billion in mortgages and has reportedly provided 130,000 loans to customers over its 40-year history.

Managing director Kim Cannon said the non-bank was “very proud” to join AFG’s panel, saying it was a “vote of confidence from such a prominent and respected broking network”.

He added: “We have seen significant growth and support from the broker market in recent times and are very pleased to be able to extend our market-leading products and service to AFG brokers.”
