        MRMB was banned in 2016 because there was an OB request to add more details and the request was missed being received due to over whelming enquiries coming out of the Barefoot Investor Book and Mortgage Month interviews. The information was recently sought, and posts are now compliant.

        There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first; be smarter; or cheat.
        Now, I don't cheat. And although I like to think we have some pretty smart people in this building, it sure is a hell of a lot easier to just be first.

    PSA: This broker charges $10/month "processing fee" for the monthly cashback

    • sketchy as , what processing would be required once the refinance went through

      • I've done my research into these broker cashback models. The broker won't get a trailing commission until you've stayed for a year so this broker paying out to you every month from their initial 0.6% commission for the first year (but that 0.6% gets clawed back if you stay less than one year). After that first year the $10/month becomes pure profit for them.

        So really it just depends on how long you plan to stay on the new loan. If less than a year then it's direct profit for you and a loss for them (but then you probably get blacklisted from using them again).

          You are referring to imitators, that is not the Mates Rates model. Our cash-back commences the 2nd Friday of the 3rd month after settlement and
          have now paid more than $13million in cash-back to our client's loans helping them to pay their homes of faster.

      • Unlike ordinary brokers that retain the entirety of the trail commission, Mates Rates has now credited more than $13million in trail commissions to our clients home loans to help them to pay their homes off faster. Administering and processing the cash-back does not happen automatically there is staff and systems that require to be paid for to administer the cash-back. Legitimate enough to be the broker chosen to use and written about since 2013 by the Barefoot Investor.

        'They're called 'cash-back mortgage brokers'. I used them when I bought my farm, and, ‘when the cash-back was kicked-back to my loan each month’, you too can get ‘the same buzz I assume a pokie-punter gets when they score 'five free spins' on the pokies’'

        • +2

          just be honest that customers wont receive 100% of the trailing commissions, whats so hard about that?

          • @douevenozbargain: not sure what your issue is here douevenozbargain since you have an axe to grind, maybe a borrower that doesn't receive trail commissions credited to your home loan.

            If you want to be specific, our clients are entitled to receive 100% of the ongoing lender paid trail commission now more than $13million which we charge $10p/mth per month to administrate. However, we also provide the option to nominate that the $10p/mth can be deducted from their cash-back before it is credited. So technically you are correct there are some clients that don't receive 100% credited due to the fee deduction however, that is not a deception that 100% is not paid by Mates Rates!

            Honesty is an issue for me nor my staff, colleagues and clients.

    • Oh wow. Negged. This should be in the post

      • +2

        It's carefully hidden and obscurely written on their website as well.

        What fees do you charge?
        Instead of charging you for our services, our “fee” is taken from the upfront commission we receive from the lender – not from your pocket!

        The small $10 monthly administration fee we charge for administering the cash-back can be deducted from your cash-back so there’s no need to pay upfront.

        • Haha given $10 is so small, ill send them my bank details

        • our “fee” is taken from the upfront commission we receive from the lender – not from your pocket!

          We take what's coming your way, by stealth, even before it hits your pocket.

          • @fantombloo: Hahahaha, its like saying i redirected my pay to be deposited directly to apple so my new iphone didnt cost a thing

        • And they don’t pay the cashback until they recover the gap if the bank they recommended pays them less commission. Check the commission leveller.

          What is a Lender Commission Leveller (LCL)?

          Our Mates Rates Mortgage Brokers Lender Commission Leveller provides a level playing field that ensures no home loan lender is left out of consideration, regardless of the amount of commission they pay us. And it’s a model that guarantees we will find the best loan for you, regardless of the percentage of commissions the lender pays us.

          If the upfront commission is lower than 0.65%, you can nominate for the difference to be deducted from the lender paid trial commissions, as soon as the LCL is recovered the cash-back will commence.

          This Lender Commission Leveller ensures that our recommendations are fair-dinkum because we are not affected by the commissions the lenders pay to us. No matter which lender you choose, we are always paid the same.

      As below, yes we do.

      There is a cost for the staff and systems to process the thousands of monthly cash-back credits and our client's are happy to pay it to reap the rewards of the monthly cash-back which ordinary brokers choose to spend on themselves, we choose to share with our clients.

        Nothing wrong with your business model. Just be upfront about the fees.

          Your first comment attacks my business with a false claim. Now I know you understand more I would appreciate your amending your comment, as it does not relate to Mates Rates Mortgage Brokers. In fact you have not done your research on Mates Rates and the comment is false. I think you would prefer rather amending your research comment than be banned for false commentary. would you not?

          The admin fee is discussed with clients and included in the quotes and lender comparisons and calculations. It is fully disclosed, you can't be more upfront than that.

          • @youwintoo:

            ** cash-back is 100% of the lender paid monthly trail commission paid to you every month

            fully disclosed

            100% - $10 is not 100%…..how are you customizing home loan recommendations if you can't do simple maths

          • @youwintoo: Oh wow, youve started a war now. No need to threaten us for exposing your lies.

            • @douevenozbargain: no war here, and no lies to expose.

              Simply a request to correct an incorrect statement which could be considered a lie by your measure. The administration fee is fully disclosed to enquirers, notate in the recommended lender quotes and included in the life of loan calculations provided.

      • +1

        Surely you could just offer a lower cashback and not charge an admin fee.

        • +1

          its much easier to rope people in and drop the $10 fee on them after their credit check

        • Hi broski, we pretty much do in our offer.

          Cash-back is 100% of the ongoing lender paid trail commission and there is a resource required to deliver that for which we charge a $10p/mth administration fee which provide the option for the client to have it deducted from their cash-back rather than pay it out of their pocket. Most clients choose this option others particularly those with an investment property loan, choose the option to pay a $100pa+gst annual fee by credit card with a 1.5% processing fee as the fee could be a tax deductible expense.

        Sometimes the hoops to get thru mean it is a full time job hooping.

      • care to share which bank you went with and what interest rate?

        • My first refi was westpac for $4k, rate was around 6.54%
          Second refi ANZ 6.51% $2k cashback

          Have a look at newcastle permanent, good rate and $3k cashback - I couldn't refi with them as their crap system didn't recognise 2 of my properties:

          https://www.newcastlepermanent.com.au/personal/home-loans/re…

          • @Bdawg: Those interest rates seem a bit high. Is that Investment loans?

            • @Tiggrrrrr: Yes investments loans with basically nothing owing, so the rate doesn't matter to me, only the cashback.

          • @Bdawg: I refinanced direct with newcastle. Highly recommend. Was all done in 2 weeks

          • @Bdawg: I refinanced direct with newcastle. Highly recommend. Was all done in 2 weeks

    • so they also dont pay cashback?

      • unrelated to Mates Rates

  • For an example loan of $400,000. The cashback promised here is $50/month($600/year). Out of that these guys will take away $10/month in processing fee. So customer left with $40/month. Better than a traditional broker that doesn’t share commission at all. But this is OB, we have brokers offering better than this.

    • Oh? Where can I find these brokers please?

      • There was one recently for me bank deal.

      • Hi plain_biscuit Mates Rates Mortgage Brokers are the brokers Guy is refering to and used and written about by the Barefoot Investor since 2013.

        They're called 'cash-back mortgage brokers'. I used them when I bought my farm, and, ‘when the cash-back was kicked-back to my loan each month’, you too can get ‘the same buzz I assume a pokie-punter gets when they score 'five free spins' on the pokies’

        ‘If you need a home loan … If you have multiple properties or a non-standard situation, call a cash-back mortgage broker like Mates Rates on 1300 558 161, who'll refund you the annual trailing commission the banks pay them. It can be as much as $1000 a year, every year, on a $500 000 mortgage.’ 2016-2018 editions

  • -1

    BoC, the worst bank ever. Period.

    • Can you share some example please?

      • Obviously he can't. He's just another China hater

  • Sorry, I must be missing something with all the negs. Although there was a misleading statement in regards to the 100% cashback of trailing commission vs $10/month fee, even with a $100k loan, at 0.15% cash back that's $150 back still $30 better off, no?

    Is it the misleading statement that was negged? Or there's no deal here negged?

    • +2

      Compare the market deal is better if 100K loan. But they don’t have bank of china.

    • yes you are missing something, the minimum loan amount for Mates Rates is $350,000 with average loan amounts now more than $750,000. The reference loan amount the Barefoot Investor wrote about is $500,000.

      in the early editions 2016-2018 ‘If you need a home loan … If you have multiple properties or a non-standard situation, call a cash-back mortgage broker like Mates Rates on 1300 558 161, who'll refund you the annual trailing commission the banks pay them. It can be as much as $1000 a year, every year, on a $500 000 mortgage.’
