About us
About Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate
Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate is a mortgage broking business serving Aldgate and the Adelaide Hills, run by a named credit representative under a licensed Australian Credit Licence holder. This page explains who we are, how we are paid and how we are regulated.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Aldgate
Anyone who has sat through a bank appointment, uploaded the same payslips three times and been quoted a product that fit nobody knows the feeling. We started this business so Aldgate borrowers would not repeat it.
Who You Actually Deal With
Trust cannot be borrowed from invented history, so this page names the person who will actually handle your file and lists the credentials, licence references and memberships you can independently verify before engaging us:
The Broker on the File
Your file is handled by Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate, the same accountable broker from your first phone call through to settlement, so every recommendation, every phone call and every document on your behalf is checked carefully and explained plainly before you sign.
Local Experience That Counts
Aldgate sits in the top decile for relative advantage, with about 3,471 residents and a median household mortgage repayment near $2,200 a month, and the files here tend to involve established homes, refinances and equity rather than simple first purchases.
One Contact, Start to Finish
From the first conversation to the final settlement figure you deal with that one person directly, because the file is never handed to a junior team, an offshore processing centre or a call queue with a different voice every time.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
Most people never ask how a broker is paid, and the honest answer is usually hidden. Here is the whole arrangement written down:
Upfront commission
Trail commission
A fee, only in narrow cases
Now the part most brokers leave out: commission amounts vary between lenders, so a genuine financial conflict sits under any recommendation. We do not pretend otherwise. The reasoning behind every shortlist goes in writing, covering the policy, structure and cost factors, and you can push back before anything is lodged.
Is it worth using one, then? A panel, however wide, is still not every lender, so a direct-to-bank application will occasionally win. Set against that is policy mapped across the panel, the file assembled once and one accountable person if the process stalls.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Numbers beat descriptions, so rather than telling you we are properly accredited, here is each licence, membership and dispute resolution arrangement stated with its reference, so you can check every one of them independently:
Credit Licence Status
Credit assistance in Australia is regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, and Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate operates as a credit representative under the licence of [LICENSEE NAME], whose Australian Credit Licence number is 389328, stated here plainly rather than described.
Credit Representative Status
The representative number attached to this business is 370592, recorded against [LICENSEE NAME]'s licence, which means every credit activity we perform is done on behalf of a licensed entity and is accountable to ASIC like any lender's own staff.
How We Work
Working with Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate means one accountable broker handles your file from the first call through to settlement, fees are disclosed in writing before you commit, and every step of our process is published so you know what happens next.
AFCA Membership
Disputes that cannot be resolved directly are handled through the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent and free external dispute resolution body of which this business is a member, so you always have somewhere formal to take an unresolved complaint.
How We Work With You
Everything runs through a published process with real timelines, from the first strategy call to the review after settlement. You always know which stage your file is at, who is handling it and what happens next.
Where we work

Questions answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate?
Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate is a representative of Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, operated by Your Mortgage Broker Aldgate as a credit representative under [LICENSEE NAME]. The disclosure block near the end of this page carries the full licence detail.
Are you licensed to arrange home loans?
Yes. We are credit representative number 370592, authorised under Australian Credit Licence 389328 held by [LICENSEE NAME], which permits us to arrange home loans and other credit products.
How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
The lender settling your loan pays an upfront commission, plus a smaller trail amount while it runs. Neither comes from your pocket or alters your rate. Complex files might attract a fee, disclosed in writing first.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Commission amounts do vary slightly between lenders, a genuine conflict we name openly rather than deny. Every recommendation comes with its reasoning in writing, so you can see why each lender was shortlisted.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will respond promptly. If unresolved, take it to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, a free, independent body, and our AFCA membership means its determination binds us.
How many lenders can you actually access?
We work with a panel of lenders covering major banks, smaller banks and non-bank lenders. We do not publish a count, because an accurate claim matters more than a big one, so judge us on the shortlist instead.
