Why Australian Mortgage Brokers Are Getting ‘Robbed’ Compared to Other Countries

In this episode, we have Peter White, the managing director of the Finance Brokers Association of Australasia (FBAA), who was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his outstanding contributions to the finance sector and community.

Peter talks about why Australian mortgage brokers face the harshest clawback conditions globally, how recent changes in bank attitudes affect broker remuneration, and the concerning trend of back-book pricing in the lending industry.

He also discusses the strategic role of the FBAA in influencing regulatory decisions, the impact of cash-back incentives on the mortgage industry, and why excessive industry self-promotion might create future challenges for mortgage brokers.
