What Mkm does

MA Money Financial Services Pty Ltd, trading as MA Money, is an Australian non-bank lender established in 2004 and headquartered in Sydney. The company originates residential and commercial mortgage loans for borrowers who fall outside mainstream bank criteria, including self-employed individuals, borrowers with past credit issues, expats, non-residents purchasing Australian property with FIRB approval, and SMSF trustees investing in residential or commercial property. The core product suite spans residential loans, vacant land loans, bridging loans, expat loans, non-resident loans, SMSF loans, commercial loans, and commercial SMSF loans, with refinancing and debt consolidation also offered.

The company's operating stack is centred on a broker-distributed origination model, supported by accreditation workflows, submission forms, calculators, rate and product information tools, and a dedicated BDM team accessible to brokers across Australia. Prospect-facing technology includes a proprietary 60-second Loan Finder eligibility tool that returns instant loan options based on submitted borrower and property details, alongside a customer banking portal (banking.mamoney.com.au) for existing borrowers to service their loans. The company holds Australian Credit Licence 522267 under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.

MA Money earns revenue primarily through interest income on originated loan portfolios, with pricing determined by individual borrower circumstances, loan type, and risk profile rather than publicly disclosed rate cards. The company is a subsidiary of MA Financial, which provides financial backing, operational stability, and scale. Distribution is concentrated through accredited mortgage brokers as the primary origination channel, supplemented by direct phone and email customer service and the self-service Loan Finder tool. The company has been operating since 2004 and has been voted by Australian mortgage brokers as the #1 small non-bank lender in the 2026 Third-Party Lending Report.
