We’re on a mission to change the way Australians experience property lending - for good.
We are one of Australia’s fastest growing fintechs, building market leading technology to transform the home loan industry through our powerhouse property brands and networks - Aussie and Lendi.
Lendi Group exists to transform the stressful, disjointed and sometimes overwhelming journey of financing a property into a friction-free experience for everyone involved.
Our cross-functional team of super smart experts and brokers power our brands, products, services, relationships and platforms to help more Australians secure their property dreams, seamlessly.
Our brands
With a shared history of challenging the status quo, our brands provide different experiences for customers but the endgame is always to help more Australians achieve their home ownership dreams.
Lendi is Australia’s number one online home loan platform. Lendi brings together smart technology to streamline the application process, and smart people offering unlimited expert advice, so savvy customers can get as much or as little help as they need. With over 25 lenders and more than 200 Home Loan Specialists, Lendi helps Australians compare, and apply for the most suitable home loan to meet their needs.
Aussie was founded in 1992 and was widely credited for bringing competition to the Australian home mortgage broking industry. For 30 years, Aussie Brokers have put home ownership within reach of more Australians, helping over 1 million customers with their home loan journey. With more than 230 stores nationwide, Aussie has the largest retail brokerage footprint across Australia.
Why do we exist?
Lendi Group is home to Australia's number one home loan platform, a network of over 1,300 brokers, a head office team of 600 experts, a loan book in excess of $80 billion and a retail footprint of more than 230 stores across the country - and we’re on an impressive growth trajectory.
Our home loan products and services are brought to market by our iconic Aussie brand and our digital disruptor Lendi brand.
Our story
Lendi Group was formed from two brands who were both born challengers, driven by a desire to see things done differently for customers, brokers and team members alike.
David Hyman and his fellow co-founders, Sebastian Watkins, Martin Lam and Mark Kalajzich, started the Lendi business in 2013 to empower borrowers with more transparency and choice while Aussie was founded by John Symond in 1992 to bring competition to the Australian mortgage broking industry.
Bringing together complementary models, assets and capabilities, Lendi and Aussie merged in May 2021 to create the powerhouse Lendi Group and usher in a new era of seamless connection between customers, brokers, lenders, and data.
Today, Lendi Group is led by our CEO and Co-Founder David Hyman, together with our COO & Co-Founder, Sebastian Watkins.
What we do
We’re on a mission to change the way Australians experience property lending - for good.
At Lendi Group, we believe we can change how people experience the world of home loans and everything we do is driven by our vision of seamless connectivity.
By creating seamless connections between customers, brokers, lenders, teams and data, we can simplify processes, empower people and free ourselves from routine tasks.
That means easier access to more information, smarter tools and better systems so our customers, brokers and partners spend less time on admin and more time on high value, high reward pursuits. It’s win-win.
We operate a multi-brand strategy, investing in the distinctive Aussie and Lendi brands to unlock growth for our brokers, partners and the Group while providing more options for Australian borrowers in their quest to secure their property dreams.
How we do it
At Lendi Group, we often talk about ‘closing the gap’.
Whether it’s closing the gap between borrowers and information, application and approval, brokers and customers or even between our internal teams, ‘closing the gap’ is how we are transforming a formerly cumbersome and confusing process in an outdated and fragmented industry. It’s how we are changing the way Australians experience home lending.
We strive to continually cut through complexity, break down barriers and change the way we experience property - for good.
This comes to life through our Aussie and Lendi brands which help Australians find the right information, customer experience and home loan solutions to achieve their home ownership dreams.
