Why bankers choose to make the move

Unlimited earning potential

In banking, there’s often a ceiling, no matter how much you bring in. Broking changes that. As your business grows, so does your income. With our Maximiser plan, you keep 100% of your upfront and trail.

Offer a range of solutions with access to 70+ lenders

You’re no longer limited to one set of products. With access to over 70 lenders, you can look at the full picture and find something that genuinely works for each client, not just what sits within one bank.

The freedom and control over career

You’re not tied to a set structure or someone else’s targets. You decide how you run your day, who you work with, and how you build your business. For many bankers, that shift is what makes the biggest difference.

What the move really looks like

The transition doesn’t have to feel uncertain. We guide you through accreditation, help you get set up properly, and stay close as you get established.

Once you’re up and running, you’ve got everything in one place. Our Mercury Nexus CRM helps you manage clients, research lenders, and submit applications without jumping between systems.

And it’s not just the tech. We’re there for compliance, marketing, and even building your website if you need it, so you’re not figuring it all out on your own.

If you’re thinking about making the move, these are the four steps most bankers take to get started.

Step 1

Build a financial buffer

Before you make the move, it’s worth having a buffer in place so you’re covered while your pipeline builds. It gives you space to focus on getting established without the pressure of immediate income.

Step 2

Get the right qualifications

To get started, you’ll need your Certificate IV or Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking.

Step 3

Join an industry body

Being part of an industry association like MFAA or FBAA, along with AFCA, is part of getting set up properly and building trust with your clients from day one.

Step 4

Set up with Connective

This is where everything comes together. We help you get set up with the right structure, give you access to our CRM and lender panel, and support you across compliance, marketing, and day-to-day operations.
