Aussie Home Loans has announced the addition of customer-owned bank Heritage Bank to its lender panel.
This is the third lender the franchise has included on its panel over the past 12 months, bringing the total number up to 22.
Being regionally-based yet operating throughout the country, Heritage is a welcome addition that provides greater choice for brokers and their clients, said Aussie CEO James Symond.
“Heritage understands regional areas and is well placed to support our many rural stores and their customers.”
Strong growth in the customer-owned banking sector suggests that customers are looking for alternative options to the traditional lenders, he said.
“We’re thrilled to be able to respond to this demand and add a quality player like Heritage to our hand-selected panel.”
Peter Lock, CEO of Heritage Bank, expressed his delight at joining the Aussie panel.
“We have been investing heavily in expanding our broker distribution and support model over the past 12 months and we are well positioned to provide Aussie’s brokers with the outstanding service and support they deserve.”
