About us
About Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds
This page explains who stands behind Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds, how the business is licensed, how it earns its income and who you will actually deal with, so you can judge us on verifiable facts rather than marketing claims.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Waurn Ponds
Too many borrowers here take whatever their branch offers, hear one answer and never learn that a different lender holds a policy shaped for their situation. That gap between one shelf and the whole market is why this business exists.
Who You Actually Deal With
How a finance business handles trust questions is best answered by pointing at a person rather than a logo. The sections below name the individual who fronts this credit representative, describe the kind of files that come through the door here, and explain what happens when you pick up the phone:
The Broker on File
The broker on file is Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds, who handles your file from first call to settlement. As a credit representative, 370592 under Australian Credit Licence 389328, details appear in the footer, supporting Waurn Ponds borrowers and their families.
Local Files, Local Experience
Local files look particular here: construction lending shaped by the 921 dwelling approvals across the suburb in recent years, first homes near the growth edge, and households balancing a median mortgage repayment of about $1,755 each month against living costs.
Direct Access, No Handoff
Direct access defines the arrangement: when you ring (03) 9122 8521, the person answering is the same credit representative who assesses your file, lodges your application and follows settlement through, with no call centre, no handoff and no repeating of your story.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
The honest answer to how a no fee service sustains itself fits in a few lines, and it is worth reading every one before deciding whether to work with any broker, this one included:
Upfront commission
Trail commission
Client payable fees
Neither commission changes the rate you are offered and neither comes out of your deposit, so the advice is free to you because the lender funds it.
Here is the part most brokers avoid saying: commission size varies a little between lenders, which creates a genuine financial conflict, because the recommendation carrying the higher payment might also be the one offered. The answer here is not denial but process. Every recommendation is put in writing with the reasoning attached, including which options were considered and why the suggested one fits your position, so you can interrogate the logic or take it elsewhere. Is it worth using a broker at all? For most borrowers, yes: one application built properly and assessed against a panel of lenders beats walking a single shelf blind. The honest trade-off is that any panel, however wide, is still not every lender in the market.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Rather than describing credentials in vague terms, this page states them with numbers you can check against public registers today:
Credit Licence Status
Credit assistance on this site is authorised through an Australian Credit Licence, number 389328, held by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd, which carries the legal obligations for lending conduct, responsible lending and the credit activities performed on your behalf under that licence.
Credit Representative Status
As a credit representative, Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds operates under credit representative number 370592, recorded against the licensee named above, and that authorisation can be verified independently through the public registers maintained by the regulator before you commit to working with us.
Accountability You Can Check
The business operates as a credit representative, with 370592 and 389328 published in the footer. It follows a published process, discloses fees in writing, and the same accountable broker handles your file from the first call to settlement.
AFCA Membership
Complaints resolution runs through the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, and this business holds the AFCA membership required of every credit representative, which means an unresolved dispute can be taken to an independent external body at no financial cost to you.
How We Work With You
It begins with a conversation about your position and goals, moves to assessment across a panel of lenders, then to a written recommendation you interrogate at your own pace, and continues after settlement with periodic reviews as policies and circumstances move.

Questions answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds?
Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds is a representative of Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, a credit representative authorised under Australian Credit Licence 389328 held by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd. The person you deal with is Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds, named throughout this page.
Are you licensed to arrange home loans?
Yes. Authorisation comes through credit representative number 370592 under the Australian Credit Licence 389328 held by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd, which permits arranging loans for clients. You can verify both numbers on the public registers.
How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
The lender pays commission at settlement and, in most cases, a smaller trail while the loan runs. Neither comes from you. A complex file outside standard lending may carry a fee, and it would be quoted in writing first.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Sometimes, because commission levels vary a little between lenders. That is a genuine conflict, and it is managed by putting the reasoning behind every recommendation in writing, including which alternatives were considered, so you can question or reject the logic.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds first and it will be handled seriously and quickly. If it stays unresolved, you can take it to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent body whose service costs you nothing.
How many lenders can you actually access?
Your Mortgage Broker Waurn Ponds works across a panel of lenders confirmed through the licensee, spanning major banks, smaller banks and non bank lenders. The honest caveat is that any panel, however wide, is still not every lender in the market.
