Descriptiontext

Resimac Group Ltd is an ASX-listed (ASX: RMC) Australian non-bank lender founded in 1985 and headquartered in Sydney, operating as one of Australia's original non-bank lenders. The company originates residential mortgages, car loans, asset finance, and secured business loans, with a deliberate focus on near-prime borrowers, self-employed professionals, contractors, and SMSF trustees who fall outside the credit scorecards of major banks. Its loan product set spans Prime, Prime Flex, Prime Alt Doc, Specialist, Specialist Alt Doc, and SMSF variants, distributed through a network of more than 18,000 mortgage brokers and complemented by direct-to-consumer digital channels.

The platform architecture is built around dedicated channel portals: BrokerZone and the RAF Portal serve mortgage and asset-finance brokers respectively, while CustomerZone, ClientZone, and LoanAccess serve home loan, auto finance, and partner-funded loan customers (the latter consolidating legacy portfolios from Homeloans, Barnes, iMortgage, and Volt acquisitions). Mobile applications on iOS and Android extend the self-service surface. Origination is underpinned by a streamlined credit assessment process and the company's multi-decade Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) program, which has issued close to $50 billion in mortgage-backed securities across domestic and global markets since 1987 and underpins the company's wholesale funding cost advantage. Supporting infrastructure includes mobile apps, a Visa Debit Card product, a Rewards Hub loyalty program, and the RMC Enhanced Income Fund wholesale investment vehicle.

Resimac serves over 50,000 customers across Australia and generates revenue primarily through net interest income on its lending portfolio, with the RMBS program functioning as both a funding source and a revenue-generating channel. The group operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Resimac Limited, Resimac Asset Finance, FAI First Mortgage, Homeloans.com.au, Evergreen Finance Company, Resimac Financial Services, and The Servicing Company. Non-financial differentiators include the Carbon Conscious environmental program (over 40,000 trees planted) and principal-partner sponsorship of the Broker Innovation Awards 2025. Notable risk factors include ASIC civil penalty proceedings commenced in May 2025 against subsidiary Resimac Limited regarding hardship-notice compliance under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.

Investing.comEarnings call transcript: Resimac H2 2026 profit jumps as shares rise 10% By Investing.comResimac Group reported full-year profit to June 2026 rose sharply, with normalized net profit after tax up 26% to AUD 49.9 million and statutory NPAT up 42% to AUD 49.2 million, as operating income grew 17% and cost-to-income fell to 53.0%. Shares rose 10.06% to $0.93, and the full-year dividend increased 53% to AUD 0.10 per share. Management said FY27 will focus on home loans, AI automation, broker relationships and asset finance refinement.Australian FinTechBiza prepares for acceleration after securing over 50% of initial non-bank lendersBiza.io, an Australian Consumer Data Right (CDR) solutions provider, has signed on four of seven initial non-bank lending providers, including Columbus Capital, Resimac Group, and Firstmac, to comply with CDR regulations taking effect July 13, 2026. The company now supports more than 10 companies and over 100 brands in the non-bank lending sector, enabling millions of consumers to compare products through the CDR. To support continued growth, Biza has made three new senior executive appointments—Max Diamond as Director of Growth, Anthony Spark as Director of Infrastructure and Security, and David Nixon as Director of Product and Engineering—with plans to expand open data across energy and banking.Mortgage ProfessionalCommercial lending 2026: Asset and equipment finance on a bumpy roadThe asset and equipment (A&E) finance sector in Australia, which showed early signs of recovery in early 2026 following a difficult 2025, is now facing renewed market caution due to the US-Iran conflict disrupting the anticipated rebound. Resimac, a prominent A&E lender, has responded by maintaining settlement volumes at prior-year levels while deliberately prioritizing higher-quality deals and applications from resilient sectors over volume growth. The article notes that deal speed has become a non-negotiable for customers, driving lender investments in automation and credit decisioning, while brokers' share of new A&E volumes is estimated at approximately 70% and continuing to rise as their role becomes more advisory-led.Mortgage ProfessionalSpecialist lending: A lifeline in choppy watersHeightened regulatory scrutiny from APRA and tightening risk appetites among major banks are pushing creditworthy Australian borrowers toward specialist and non-bank lenders, which are now expanding their borrower base to include self-employed professionals, contractors, developers, and business owners who do not fit traditional bank scorecards. The article profiles five specialist lenders—Thinktank, Resimac, Millbrook, Bluestone Home Loans, and Pepper Money—that are innovating with products, broker education, and flexible assessment approaches to capture market share. These lenders view stricter regulation as an opportunity to demonstrate the maturity of the non-bank sector while offering pathways for borrowers to rebuild financial stability.BrokerdailyFinalists revealed for Broker Innovation Awards 2025Broker Daily has announced 137 finalists for the third annual Broker Innovation Awards 2025, selected from 265 submissions across 20 categories covering brokers, broker tech, brokerage and aggregators, and lenders.
