ABOUT
ORDE FINANCIAL

ORDE is a nonbank lender of 200+ employees built
exclusively for brokers, combining human and credit expertise with innovative
technology to help brokers build stronger futures for their clients. We reflect
the reality of today’s borrowers, from SMEs with complex needs to near-prime
clients seeking clearer paths forward.

Since 2020, ORDE has funded more than $10b in
loans and supported over 16,000 borrowers – all through brokers. We offer
Residential, Commercial, SMSF and Construction loans and other specialised
solutions, with fast decisions, deep credit insight and a streamlined digital
experience.

We are passionate (and a bit obsessed…) about
being disruptive and pushing hard to improve the experience and results for
mortgage brokers. Our purpose “Built for Brokers” is clear and simple and
define our entire strategy (delivering better experiences, more value and
opportunity, anticipating more needs and communicating more solutions, for
brokers and their customers).

ORDE also recently launched the ORDE Income Fund
(the Fund), a registered retail managed investment scheme investing in
Australian mortgage assets. It is unlisted, open-ended and currently offers a
12-month pooled mortgage investment product.

The Fund is intended to become a key pillar
of ORDE and the leading public expression of ORDE as both a non-bank lender and
Australia’s highest quality asset manager within its asset class.

The Fund has exceeded $100m in funds under
management and is scaling though early-stage capital raising, with a full
retail launch pending.
