Mortgage Choice adds Citibank
Major mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice, has expanded its lender panel to include Citibank.
The expansion of the lender panel was announced this week, with Mortgage Choice saying the decision had been based on Citibank's competitive pricing and comprehensive product offerings.
It said the Citibank move brought the number of lender panel members - which consists of major and second tier banks, building societies and credit unions - to 27.
Commenting on the move, Mortgage Choice chief executive Michael Russell said it was part of a host of initiatives designed to better satisfy the expanding financial needs of the company's diverse customer groups.
"Our customers are asking for more options, and with the help of Citibank's comprehensive product offerings and competitive pricing, we can deliver more to them," Mr Russell said.
Citibank commenced consumer banking operations in Australia in 1985, when it was one of the first foreign banks to be granted a licence.
