Scott Baldwin, Money3 managing director commented: “We continue to experience strong organic new loan originations through the second half of the financial year and expect this trend to continue into FY22.”

Net profit after tax (NPAT) has also grown, by a quarter (25.4 per cent) to $28.6 million.
The company reported that its loan book had increased by 28.3 per cent since June last year, to $556.7 million (including $70 million in loans gained from acquired businesses).
Direct lending was observed as its fastest-growing channel, with around 45 per cent of new loans origination for the year to date, in contrast to around 35 per cent in FY20.
