Expansion follows record RMBS issue, substantial 2025 volume growth
MA Money has added six business development managers to its ranks and has created a new head of partnerships and marketing position in response to heightened broker demand.
It brings the non-bank lender’s national BDM headcount up to 24 nationally.
“Our focus has always been on responsiveness, consistency and strong credit knowledge,” said MA Money’s national sales manager Tim Lemon.
“Expanding our BDM team allows us to support more brokers with the speed and certainty they need, particularly when working through complex scenarios,” added Lemon. “Having access to scenario specialists means our team can workshop deals upfront and provide clear direction early, helping brokers move forward with confidence.”
New additions to the team include Katie McNamara, Van Vu (pictured top left), Brad Crawford (pictured, right) and Joshua Bittencourt in New South Wales, Kylie McCue (pictured, top centre) in South Australia, and Linda Leong (pictured, below) in Victoria.
Katie Bell (pictured, top right) has taken on the newly created head of partnerships and marketing role, having already led MA Money’s marketing function for more than two years.
“I’m excited to step into the new role of Head of Partnerships and Marketing and spend more time working closely with our valued partners,” said Bell.
“There’s a real opportunity to build on the strong momentum we’ve created and continue strengthening how we support brokers,” added Bell. “As we grow, it’s important that we continue to invest in both our partnerships and our brand, ensuring we’re delivering consistency and value across every touchpoint.”
MA Money, which is owned by ASX-listed MA Financial, enjoyed a strong 2025, with its loan book growing by 148% to close the year with $5.2 billion in assets under management as of 31 December 2025. Since then, its loan book has surged to $5.7 billion.
Last month, MA Money announced its largest ever residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transaction, pricing its first issuance for the year at $1.25 billion. It was upsized from an initial price of $1 billion.
Lemon said the calibre of new hires reflects MA Money’s long-term commitment to the broker channel. “We’ve built a team with genuine depth of experience across credit, structuring and distribution. That’s what allows us to deliver practical solutions and support brokers in a way that makes a real difference to their business.”
