ME today announced it has joined the uno home loans lender panel.
The partnership is the first of its kind for ME, as uno represents the first online mortgage broker affiliation for the bank.
Breaking into the fast-growing digital brokerage channel enables ME to further expand its distribution nationally.
ME’s CEO, Jamie McPhee said, “The broker channel is fundamental for ME to deliver on our core purpose of helping all Australians get ahead, as a big part of that involves getting people into home ownership.”
“ME entered the broking channel in 2011 and this partnership with uno is an important step in the bank broadening reach of our home loans to new customers.
“uno might be small today but it has big plans, and ME is excited to be part of their plan to deliver a home loan experience that truly puts the interests of customers first,” said Mr McPhee.
uno’s CEO Anthony Justice said, “We are excited to be working with ME as they have a great purpose-led brand set on helping everyday Australians.”
"ME has created a unique set of products and policy which seek to offer home loan customers genuine savings and flexibility - a great alignment with our offer,” said Mr Justice.
ME has recently added 12 new BDMs and support staff to increase the capabilities of its broker service, as it continues to experience ‘above system’ growth, and to support the accreditation of the uno brokers.
“Mortgage brokers contribute in excess of 70% of ME’s new home loan sales, and we’re fully committed to supporting the channel,” said Mr McPhee.
“This partnership with uno is another avenue to provide customers with simple, transparent and competitively priced banking products which suit their needs.”
