Our History 

Established in 1972, the Stargate Group is one of the most respected names in the Australian mortgage and financial services industry. Having first pioneered the non-bank wholesale lending market, Stargate later helped change the Australian mortgage landscape forever by creating the first residential mortgage-backed securities in 1977, co-founding the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia in 1983, and establishing one of the nation’s largest non-bank lenders, in 1991.

Operating nationally, with its head office in Victoria, it employs more than 80 staff across its major business divisions, Professional Services, Mortgage Services and Business Process Outsourcing.
