Moneytech, a non-bank lender which offers brokers commercial property, equipment, trade, and debtor finance solutions for SME clients, has appointed Paul Garvey (pictured) as chief financial officer, bolstering its finance leadership as the business looks to scale its lending platform and strengthen its funding position.
Garvey joined the business last month, bringing more than 25 years of senior financial management experience across the Australian banking and corporate sectors. He most recently served as director of treasury and capital markets at Metrics Credit Partners, a role he took on following Metrics' acquisition of Taurus Motor Finance in July 2025. Before that, he was CFO at Taurus, where he led finance, accounting, treasury, tax, audit and payroll functions and worked closely with the board through a period of significant structural and financial transition.
Earlier career roles included senior finance and treasury leadership positions at McMillan Shakespeare Group, Eclipx Group/FleetPartners, and ME Bank — giving him a broad foundation across consumer finance, fleet and motor lending, and retail banking.
Moneytech CEO Nick McGrath said the appointment was directly aligned with the company's growth priorities.
"His career has been built at the intersection of financial leadership and capital markets, exactly the disciplines that matter most to a growing non-bank lender," McGrath said. "Paul's depth across treasury, securitisation and funding strategy, combined with his experience leading financial teams through periods of growth and change, will be invaluable as we continue to scale our lending platform and strengthen our position in the market."
Garvey said he was attracted by the business's trajectory, expressing his intention to strengthen Moneytech's funding platform and deliver long-term value for customers, partners, and investors.
For brokers who work with Moneytech on commercial lending and asset finance solutions, the appointment signals continued investment in the lender's balance sheet and funding infrastructure.
Banjo Loans research found more than 40% of experienced brokers now prioritise non-bank lenders in their business lending mix, citing speed and frictionless workflows as the main reasons they favour non-banks over traditional banks for SME deals — a shift that makes funding strength and operational scale increasingly important for lenders competing in the broker channel.
