Loan Market Group has broadened its white label lending offering with a set of new strategic partnerships as it looks to bolster access to specialist lending options.
The aggregator has said that Skip by LMG, Thinktank by LMG, and Brighten by LMG will join its LMG Lending portfolio from July, expanding its white label offering across low-deposit lending, commercial finance, SMSF lending, and specialist residential scenarios.
From 1 July, Skip by LMG will target the low-deposit lending market, with loans of up to 98 per cent loan-to-value ratio (LVR) without lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).
Meanwhile, Brighten by LMG, which is expected to launch later in July, will focus on specialist lending scenarios including expat and non-resident borrowers, construction lending, and reverse mortgages.
Also launching on 1 July, Thinktank by LMG will replace the existing Go Beyond partnership, bringing the lender’s commercial, complex residential, SMSF, and private lending offering under the LMG Lending brand.
The new partnerships follow the launch of Apollo and Zeus by LMG, which the aggregator said have settled $2.2 billion in lending in less than two years. LMG also said it had doubled its white label market share over the past 12 months.
LMG CEO Ewen Stafford said the expansion reflected the group’s continued investment in specialist lending.
“Cumulatively, our brokers write almost one in five home loans in this country. It’s numbers like this that drive our continued investment in the solutions that help them grow their business and better support their customers,” Stafford said.
“LMG Lending is one of those solutions. Co-created with our brokers, we’ve taken new brands to market that are built around a shared belief in what broker-focused lending should look like.
“We’re continuing to invest – with larger service teams so brokers can get to an outcome faster, and by deepening relationships with strategic lender partners known for leadership in specific product and policy niches.”
Stafford said the new partnerships were intended to ensure brokers could access a lender suited to a wider range of client needs.
“The three new partnerships are a meaningful step in the continued evolution of LMG Lending and the intent is simple – brokers across the network should be able to look at the LMG Lending portfolio and find a lender that fits, no matter how the deal is shaped,” Stafford said.
The three lenders also said the partnerships would build on existing relationships with LMG while expanding brokers’ access to specialist lending solutions.
Skip co-founder and CEO Mario Emmanuel said the partnership recognised the lender’s position in the low-deposit lending market.
“LMG was our first aggregator partner, and it’s a relationship we value deeply. The businesses share common values and a focus on innovating and delivering for customers,” he said.
Thinktank general manager of sales, Belinda Wright, said: “Bringing the Thinktank brand to the forefront reflects the strength of our partnership with LMG and makes it easier for brokers to identify where they can turn for support with specialist lending scenarios.”
Brighten CEO Jason Azzopardi said: “We’re thrilled to partner with LMG Lending to launch Brighten by LMG. This collaboration brings together LMG’s strong broker network and customer reach with Brighten’s lending expertise and product suite.”
