Officially Australia’s #1 Aggregator

Brokers do more than arrange finance. They help their clients achieve their personal and business goals, support their path to success. Behind the brokers, Connective is driven to help our members build their business, their way, so they can do exactly that, while achieving their own success. It’s a win-win for all. That's why we’re proud to share that we've been named Major Aggregator of the Year at the 2026 Australian Broking Awards. Our win means a win for our members, which means a win for their clients.

A benchmark set by the whole industry

Australian Broking Awards is the industry's foremost measure of excellence. The awards recognise the brokers, brokerages and aggregators delivering outstanding outcomes for Australian borrowers.  

Being awarded the top aggregator in the industry helps us strengthen the way we deliver value to our members and drives us to keep delivering and innovating the technology, lender access, expertise and support to the people who matter most, our members.

Built to be a growth partner

Connective supports brokers with their personal and professional goals. That goes much further than writing more loans. For some members it means a stronger team, a diversified income, more time back for family, or a clear plan for succession. For others it's scaling into commercial or asset finance, and for some it is simply building a business that helps others.

Whatever success looks like for our members, this award reflects the role Connective plays in helping them get there. Not by telling them how to run their business, but by giving them the tools, confidence, capability and freedom to build it their way.

"Major Aggregator of the Year is an honour we're proud to receive. Every singular award has an entire team that carries its merit and a story that made it happen. Ours is one of partnership, a shared commitment to helping our members grow their business and importantly, the trust our community places in us to support them. This drives us to keep innovating, listening and delivering more to help them succeed."

Brent Starrenburg, Head of Connective Commercial & Asset Finance

This award belongs to our community, our partnerships and our members, who trust us to support them. Their success is a measure that matters more than our own.

Helping brokers build stronger businesses

Being named Major Aggregator of the Year is recognition we're proud to receive, but what matters most is the success of the members we support every day.

Whether you're looking to grow your business, diversify your income, build a stronger team or create more time for what matters outside of work, we're here to help. We work alongside members to help them build a business that supports their goals, on their terms.
