Unti the merger, Carde was RESIMAC’s director of Product, Marketing and Strategic Partnerships. “This merger has brought together two highly successful and complementary businesses,” Carde said.
“The opportunities this presents are tremendous, and I am looking forward to working with our experienced BDMs and broker partners to deliver one of Australia’s most comprehensive and competitively priced home loan offerings.”
Ray Hair, Homeloans’ current general manger of Sales, will step into the new role of general manager, Branded Partnerships.

“We are very excited about what the future holds,” Hair said, adding that it will be ‘business as usual’ for brokers now that the merger has completed.

Carde told Australian Broker: “The marriage with RESIMAC will provide Homeloans’ broker network with an even stronger proposition. The merger effectively gives Homeloans an in-house product manufacturing capability, further enhancing product flexibility and pricing.”
