A total of 109 finalists have been selected to compete for the prestigious awards across 19 individual, group, innovation, and technology categories.
Among those, 67 finalists are from lending, aggregation, broking and service provider companies.
Contenders include major and non-major banks, mutual banks, and non-banks, as well as franchise and wholesale aggregators, technology platforms, and individual brokerages.
In December last year, Mortgage Business revealed that 42 individual finalists for the broker and loan administrator awards were chosen across five individual categories after judges reviewed and scored their video submissions.

With mortgage brokers facilitating almost 72 per cent of all new residential home loans between July and September 2022 (according to Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia data), there has never been a better time to recognise the hard work of brokers and their dedication to serving in the best interests of their clients.
About the Mortgage Business Awards
The Mortgage Business Awards program recognises the top performers supporting Australia’s booming residential third-party distribution channel.
The inaugural awards highlight excellence, innovation, resilience, and the remarkable achievements of the top professionals and businesses within the third-party residential mortgages industry.
The comprehensive awards program offers recognition on a national stage and enables finalists and winners to strengthen their roles and distinguish themselves from others in the industry.
As part of their submission, entrants were asked to answer four questions by recording themselves and submitting a three-minute video.
The submissions from each of the finalists were delivered to a panel of judges, who assessed and scored each video submission.
For individual awards, the video submission makes up 100 per cent of the weighting.
For lender, aggregator, and technology finalists, the video makes up 30 per cent of the weighting. The remainder will be determined by their positioning in industry research and rankings, metrics from past broker award programs run by Mortgage Business’ parent company Momentum Media as well as the largest brokerage/aggregator and mortgage broker associations, the results of the Third-Party Lending Report, Broker Pulse surveys, Momentum Intelligence’s Aggregator of Choice Survey, and the Mortgage Technology survey.
The combined judging scores for each submission across each category are then tabulated, with the highest-scoring submission deemed the winner.
