Assets under management

Founded in 2006, Thinktank is an independent non-bank financial institution specialising in commercial and residential property finance. We provide lending solutions to PAYG and self-employed borrowers, SMEs and self-managed superannuation funds across Australia, exclusively through mortgage brokers.

Thinktank was established by a group of financial services professionals with extensive banking and property expertise. From the outset, our purpose has been clear: to make property finance straightforward and build strong, enduring industry partnerships.

Our exclusive distribution model continues to shape how we operate. We listen closely to our partners and respond with considered changes to our products and service as borrower needs and market conditions evolve.

Over time, Thinktank has expanded its lending capabilities in response to genuine market demand, adding SMSF, residential, private and strata lending to its established commercial property finance offering. Thinktank Asset Management extends our capabilities into property-backed income solutions for sophisticated and wholesale investors, supported by the same disciplined approach to credit and risk that underpins our lending business.

Our culture

People first

People first, always.

We believe in the power of building positive relationships, living by our tagline "into people, not just transactions"

Work as one

Work as one.

Collaboration is at the heart of our
success. We tackle challenges and
celebrate achievements together as on

Do what's right

Do what’s right.

Integrity is non-negotiable for us. We
commit to acting with honesty and
transparency in everything that we do.

Our three values guide how we work together, make decisions and support our people.

That framework influences how decisions are made, how teams collaborate and how the company supports its people. Integrity, accountability and care are part of daily operations.

This approach earned Thinktank a place on MPA's Top Mortgage Employers list for three consecutive years. It reflects strong performance and recognises how the company has grown by investing in its people and building the kind of culture that employees thrive in.

Working with us

Our people are fundamental to Thinktank's success and growth. As the business has evolved, we have worked hard to retain the strong relationships, shared knowledge and sense of connection that have shaped our culture from the beginning.

People are trusted to contribute, encouraged to share their ideas and supported by experienced colleagues who genuinely want them to succeed. We offer flexible working arrangements, practical health and wellbeing support, paid parental leave and opportunities to contribute to causes that matter to our team.

Charitable impacts

Giving back has always been part of how Thinktank operates. It's embedded in the way we work everyday and is shaped by the causes that matter to our people. For every settled deal, Thinktank donates $75 to charities nominated by members of our team, helping ensure our giving reflects the causes and communities they care about.

We also contribute an additional $25 from every settlement to our Special Situations Fund, allowing us to respond when urgent needs arise, including communities impacted by emergencies and natural disasters.

Together, that means $100 from every settled deal goes towards making a difference - turning the growth of our business into meaningful support for the wider community.

Environmental, social and governance

We believe in equity, fairness, and transparency.

Good governance and ethical conduct are core principles that have consistently guided our business and our people from the outset.

These are attributes that can never be taken for granted, and they lie at the heart of everything we do.

We are committed to playing a positive role in the community in which we operate. We do this by actively implementing practices that reduce our impact on the environment.
