- Dedicated Mortgage Broker
- Best Interest Duty (BID)
A new advantage that Mortgage Brokers must comply of as of 1st July 2020 is ‘best interest duty’ requirements. This is unique to mortgage brokers as the big banks can’t be bound by it. Therefore, going to a bank means you won’t get the loan that is necessarily in your best interests.
By using a mortgage broker, the new requirements will mean that the broker must act in the client’s best interests
At Illuminate Finance, we are bound to act in your best interests (as detailed below):
It is a lawful requirement that mortgage brokers act in the best interests of consumers in relation to credit assistance, credit contracts (incl. assistance for credit cards, personal loans including those in a mortgage package and unsecured home renovation credit).
If a conflict of interest exists, mortgage brokers are responsible to give priority to consumers with credit contracts by providing credit assistance.
Mortgage brokers and mortgage intermediaries are not to accept conflicting remuneration to determine, influence or change the outcome of the credit assistance available, or inappropriately alter how the representative carries out their duty as an intermediary.
Mortgage brokers or intermediaries are not permitted to receive conflicting remuneration from employers, credit providers or other mortgage intermediaries.
This ultimately means, that mortgage brokers are held to higher legislative standards than any bank. Illuminate Finance will provide only the best to our clients, as set out in law, going above and beyond to provide you with the best outcome.
