Mortgage Broker Commissions

Your Mates Rates mortgage broker is a salaried professional and does not receive commission, however Mates Rates as a business does. The table below lists the commission Mates Rates expects to receive when we arrange your mortgage.

Remember, 100%** of trail commissions is paid back to you each month as mortgage rebates (excluding GST).

Your dedicated Mates Rates broker is a full time professional and does not work on a commission basis.
