AFG national manager asset finance and commercial David Drinkwater (pictured above) said the platform, built in partnership with Biz2Credit in 2016, had been an “integral tool” in helping brokers diversify their income through commercial lending.
It’s generally acknowledged that all good technology requires enhancements and upgrades, he said.
“We’ve been listening to our members’ feedback and have concentrated on the ease of experience, not only updating the look and feel, but also making navigation easier and more intuitive,” Drinkwater said.
Further enhancements are in an ongoing pipeline of design, production and implementation, he said.
“The technology is only going to get better, and we always welcome suggested feedback from our members.”

The aggregator said it’s lender panel would continue to expand, making its value proposition attractive to brokers looking for technology to help them succeed in the commercial lending sector.
AFG currently has more than 3,500 brokers and access to over 70 Australian lenders.
