It’s been a few days now since the recommendations have been publicised from the Royal Commission and no matter what you think about it, Commissioner Hayne has clearly taken his review of the Bank’s Misconducts, wrongly labelled the Broking industry as the source of the Bank’s wrongs, and sentenced the Brokers to pay for the Banks Sins. A Scapegoat if you will.
If what Commissioner Hayne said was true and my job is complete when a loan settles, why do I spend hours every week and year answering client’s questions in relation to their banking, helping them understand & manage and make changes to their Banking & lending over the life of their loan, reviewing their loans and making changes for them where they have a need, all for what Hayne believes should be $0 income?
And of all the people I have seen supporting Hayne’s recommendations, not one of them have I seen volunteer to continue to do their job without pay.
As a Broker, I am not influenced by the marginal differences that lenders pay in commission, but the needs and objectives of my clients, and that’s what I put first when recommending a loan.
Whether I have had the pleasure of providing you with my Service, or you have had a great experience with another Broker, or you have not been looked after at some stage by your bank, PLEASE sign the petition, support our industry providing a service to you, preserving the industry and preserving competition in Australia. If these recommendations are made law, it will return us to the old systems, where the Banks had the power and you and I were, and will be under the merciless control of the Major banks and the banking industry.
Keep the Banks Honest!
Save the Mortgage Broking Industry!
