Working with a broker vs working with a bank

What is a Mortgage Broker? Mortgage brokers are professional lending people who are independent from any one bank. They have qualifications with many banks in the Australian lending landscape, including major banks such as CBA, Westpac, St George, ANZ, and NAB. Brokers also have access to many non-bank institutions that lend money at a competitive rate (these include Pepper Money, Liberty, and Bluestone, to name a few).
