​Non-bank lender eyes up mortgage distribution channels

A major non-bank lender has revealed it plans to expand its involvement in the broker space by purchasing distribution channels.

Resimac has revealed it plans to expand its involvement in the broker space by purchasing distribution channels.

According to the non-bank lender’s 2013 financial report, Resimac wants to “own distribution channels” to gain better control of its “destiny”.

The statement follows a spate of lender investments in the broker channel, including Macquarie Bank’s recent acquisition of a 25% stake in Connective.

Resmiac’s loan book is currently valued at $3.2 billion. This is a drop of $1 million from last year, despite the lender’s recent expansions into the mortgage industry.

Last month Resimac finalised a scheme of arrangement to acquire RHG’s mortgage portfolio, with an estimated size of $2 billion.
