Twenty-three years into his career in finance, Homeloans and RESIMAC’s Daniel Carde says he wouldn’t change a thing
1994 - STARTS IN BANKING
Carde’s career started out at Bank of Queensland while he was a student. “After a number of years of full-time university study I converted to part-time study and started applying for full-time jobs in the banking industry.” He would spend the next eight years at BoQ rising from teller to branch manager by 25 years old to running the largest branch on Brisbane’s south side a year later.
2002 - BREAKS NEW GROUND
Seizing the opportunity to join a fairly young but rapidly expanding bank, Carde moved to Members Equity Bank (now ME). “The decision to make the change was driven by the desire to try something new, coupled with the opportunity to join a growing organisation.” Two years after the transition he moved into the third party side and hasn’t left it since.
2005 - EMBRACES THIRD PARTY.jpg)
As third party was then a small part of Members Equity Bank‘s business, Carde chose to move to “global financial powerhouse” Citibank. “After a short stay at Citibank I decided that I wanted to return to a smaller player in the third party space,” explains Carde, which saw him join RESIMAC in 2006.
2006 - FOCUSES ON MORTGAGES
Carde said the appeal in moving to RESIMAC as its senior BDM for Queensland was because it was solely immersed in mortgage management at that time. This offered him the chance to gain new experience and tackle fresh challenges. “RESIMAC gave me the opportunity to try something new again, while still remaining firmly in the third party sector.”
2010 - MAKES A MARK
After a few years with RESIMAC while its distribution footprint continued to grow, Carde was promoted a number of times: from state manager Queensland to sales manager wholesale and on to national sales manager third party. “This involved managing the sales function for both the mortgage manager and broker divisions, including managing the now expanded sales team.”
2015 - FACES CHALLENGES
As RESIMAC continued to evolve as a business, Carde moved into the role of director product, marketing and strategic partnerships. The change presented new challenges and spanned a number of different areas within the company. “The role did, however, give me oversight of a number of key areas within RESIMAC and helped further develop my skillset, particularly in the marketing area.”
2016 - MERGES AND GROWS
In 2016, Carde was promoted to general manager third party distribution of the Homeloans Group, after the merger between RESIMAC and Homeloans in October of that year.
“We merged the sales teams of both organisations, rationalised our distribution strategy and worked towards further growing our distribution within the third party sector.”
