Who We are

About Mortage House

For 39 years we have provided a true alternative to the big banks through our tailored products, services and customer first focus.

Our Story

Decades of Innovation and Integrity

In 1986, Ken Sayer founded Mortgage House with a simple idea:

“Australians deserved better home-loan choices than the big banks were offering”

While others focused on volume, we focused on values — transparency, personal service, and genuine financial education. Starting with a single office in Sydney, we grew through a period of financial deregulation that reshaped the country’s lending landscape.

From those early days of hand-written applications to today’s AI-powered loan-origination platform, Mortgage House has stayed true to one principle:

“Trust Must Be Earned Through Discipline, Not Promises”

We now serve Australians nationwide through our multi-tenant Bidirectional SaaS ecosystem — the engine behind brands like Mortgage Street, Well Nigh, and Moneyer — while retaining the same independent spirit that started in a small office in 1986.

Our Mission

To Empower Australians To Own Property

Our mission is to empower Australians to own property with clarity, confidence, and control.
We believe that a responsible lender’s duty extends beyond interest rates — it includes education, transparency, and innovation. Our mission is to build long-term financial resilience for our customers and communities.

Our Values

What We Stand For

Integrity

Every decision is guided by ethics and full disclosure. We say what we mean and we document what we say.

Empathy

Lending is personal. We listen first, advise second, and tailor solutions to real lives.

Performance

We combine smart data with human judgment to deliver timely, accurate outcomes.

Innovation

From our AI loan assistant to Microsoft-integrated analytics, we invest heavily in technology that enhances human decision-making.
