Fintech goes head-to-head with traditional non-banks

In partnership with The Adviser, the Momentum Intelligence survey is open to all mortgage professionals including aggregator state managers, BDMs and support staff.

The survey will see non-banks rated on product and pricing, range of product, turnaround times, BDMs, credit assessment staff, client support, training and education, commission structures and how likely respondents are to recommend a lender to another broker.

In addition, brokers will have the chance to rank their favourite specialist lender, mortgage manager, equipment finance lender, cash flow and debtor finance provider and short-term lender.

“The non-bank lending landscape has changed significantly with the emergence of new online players, particularly in niche lending segments such as SME and short-term funding,” The Adviser editor James Mitchell said.

“There is now a growing sub-group of alternative funders competing with non-bank incumbents for a greater share of broker-originated loans,” Mr Mitchell said.

“They’re leveraging technology to deliver solutions to broker clients, which has created a fresh competitive dynamic within the non-bank sector,” he said.

“Meanwhile, as the banks continue to tighten credit and pull out of certain segments of the mortgage market, the non-banks have stepped up to fill the gap. Anecdotal evidence tells us that more and more brokers are using non-bank lenders in today’s market.”
