AFG
AFG was established in 1994 to help create a fairer financial future for Australians.
Today, we’re one of Australia’s leading mortgage aggregators, supporting more than 4,300 brokers nationwide and processing one in nine Australian mortgages. Together, our brokers settle over $75 billion in residential finance each year and help more than 600,000 customers with their finance needs.
With a panel of over 80 lenders and more than 10,000 finance products, we give Australian’s real choice. We also provide our own lending solutions, creating more options to meet customers’ individual needs. Backed by a team of more than 300+ people behind them, our brokers get the support, tools and expertise they need to grow. It's a big part of why we've been named Aggregator of the Year multiple times.
Brokers are at the heart of everything we do. When they grow, we grow with them.
