We offer Residential, Commercial, SMSF and Construction loans and other specialised solutions, with fast decisions, deep credit insight and a streamlined digital experience. We are passionate about being disruptive and pushing hard to improve the experience and results for mortgage brokers. Our purpose "Built for Brokers" is clear and simple and defines our entire strategy (delivering better experiences, more value and opportunity, anticipating more needs and communicating more solutions, for brokers and their customers). ORDE also recently launched the ORDE Income Fund, a registered retail managed investment scheme investing in Australian mortgage assets. It is unlisted, open‐ended and currently offers a 12‐month pooled mortgage investment product. The Fund is intended to become a key pillar of ORDE as both a non‐bank lender and Australia's highest quality asset manager within its asset class. The Fund has exceeded $100m in funds under management and is scaling through early‐stage capital raising, with a full retail launch pending.
