About us
About Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill
Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill is a mortgage broking business serving Swan Hill and the surrounding district, built on a simple proposition: you should know exactly who handles your home loan, exactly how that person is paid, and exactly what happens at every stage.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Swan Hill
Borrowers in regional towns cop the worst of both worlds: shrinking bank branches that know less every year, and online lenders that have never heard of Pental Island. Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill exists to close that gap with proper local credit assistance.
Who You Actually Deal With
Plenty of websites make claims about themselves, so this section points instead at things you can independently check, starting with the named individual who is personally accountable for your file.
Your file sits with Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill, a credit representative whose number 370592 and Australian Credit Licence 389328 are published in the footer, who personally manages every stage of every application from the very first conversation to settlement day.
Local lending experience here covers the situations this district actually produces: self-employed farm businesses, casual and seasonal income, guarantor family purchases and construction on larger rural blocks, all of it handled by someone who understands how regional properties are assessed.
When you ring, you speak to the same person who assessed your figures and lodged your file, with no call centre queue and no handoff to a junior, which matters most when a valuation or policy change needs answering quickly.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
This is the question most broking websites bury, and we would rather answer it first than have you find it on a forum. Here is exactly where the money comes from:
Upfront commission
Trail commission
What it costs you
Client fees
Now the uncomfortable part, because it deserves naming rather than denying. Commission levels vary slightly between lenders, which means there is a theoretical incentive to prefer one over another. We manage that conflict the only honest way we can: the reasoning behind every recommendation is put in writing, comparing the shortlisted loans on fees, features and structure, so you can see the logic and challenge it.
And is a broker actually worth using? The honest trade-off is this: a panel of lenders, however carefully chosen, is still not every lender in the Australian market, and a bank branch is not every lender either. What a broker adds is breadth, someone who chases the paperwork, and advice held to responsible lending obligations.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Rather than describing our credentials in vague terms, this section states them, including the numbers you can verify yourself with the regulator, the association and AFCA.
Credit licensing in Australia means your broker operates under a licensee that holds an Australian Credit Licence numbered 389328, issued and supervised by the corporate regulator, with legal obligations covering responsible lending, disclosure and how credit advice is given.
As a credit representative, Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill operates under Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd and carries credit representative number 370592, which you can verify independently, and every home loan arranged through this business is authorised through that licence, not a licence of our own.
The business follows a published code of practice covering professional development, ethical conduct and dispute handling, and gives you a clear path should anything about our conduct ever concern you. Fees are disclosed in writing, and the process is published.
Membership of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority means a dispute you cannot resolve directly with us can go to an independent external body at no cost to you, which is a stronger safeguard than any promise printed on a website.
How We Work With You
It starts with a relaxed conversation about your goals, income and deposit, moves through comparing options and lodging the application, and continues past settlement with periodic loan reviews. Each stage is explained before it begins, and nothing proceeds without your say so.

From Swan Hill itself, our service area reaches across the district, taking in Tyntynder South, Murrawee, Murraydale, Pental Island, Castle Donnington and Goschen.
Questions answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill?
Your Mortgage Broker Swan Hill fronts this business as a credit representative under Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd, and is the person who assesses, lodges and manages every Swan Hill file personally, from the first conversation through to settlement and beyond.
Are you licensed to arrange home loans?
Yes. We operate under Australian Credit Licence 389328, held by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd, as credit representative 370592, and our work is regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.
How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
The lender you settle with pays us a commission when your loan settles, plus a smaller trailing commission while it runs. Neither comes from your pocket or changes the rate you are offered.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Commission varies a little between lenders, which is a genuine conflict we name openly. We manage it by putting the reasoning behind every recommendation in writing, so you can see exactly why a loan was suggested.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will work to fix it. If it stays unresolved, you can take it to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent external body, at no cost to you.
How many lenders can you actually access?
We write loans across a panel of lenders covering the major banks, regional lenders and non-bank specialists. No panel covers every lender in Australia, and we will tell you when a situation sits outside ours.
