Act now to nominate your stand-out advisers, brokerages, aggregators, lenders, BDMs and service providers
Submissions continue rolling in for the New Zealand Mortgage Awards 2026.
Don’t miss your chance to nominate the advisers, brokerages, aggregators, lenders, BDMs and service providers that have displayed unparalleled leadership over the past 12 months.
Nominations can be placed until 17 October, in anticipation for the cocktail event on Thursday, 12 March 2026. NZA is proudly hosting the 2026 NZMAs alongside event partner Liberty Financial, premium partner Success & Adviser, and a raft of award sponsors.
“We’ve always been proud supporters of awards ceremonies in the Australian broking industry, knowing just how much effort nominees and winners put in to earn that recognition,” Success & Adviser told NZA.
“This year, we’re thrilled to be backing the NZMA’s as part of our launch into New Zealand, where we’ll be supporting outstanding Mortgage Advice businesses on their journey to success. What we love most is that these awards shine a spotlight not only on established leaders but also on rising stars who are already making their mark.”
Success & Adviser views the evening as a unique opportunity for mortgage advisers nationwide to unite and remind each other they’re not alone in their shared pursuit of excellence.
“It can sometimes feel this way when you are tasked with solving complex problems for clients in often very stressful situations, so celebrating the wins, reflecting on the challenges, and sharing these stories with others is the real highlight,” said the group.
“Success & Adviser looks forward to playing a crucial role as business coaches to top-performing advisers and brokers across New Zealand and Australia, continuing to support those with big ambitions, in life and in business. We wish all the nominees for this year's NZMA's the very best of luck.”
