Become authorised

Becoming authorised with ALI Group means you are committing to educating your clients about the risks of borrowing and offering a potential solution in the form of My Protection Plan.

Our mission and journey

Our mission is to protect Australian home and property buyers from financial hardship. We work towards this by partnering with over 3,000 mortgage brokers nationwide, providing them with training, marketing, supervision and monitoring, so they can confidently offer protection to their clients. Together, to date, we have protected over 236,000 clients and paid over $168 million in claims.

An authorisation with ALI Group is a commitment to educate your clients about the risks of borrowing and offer them My Protection Plan as a potential solution. Read our reasons as to why we think mortgage brokers should offer protection to their clients here.

What is My Protection Plan?

We believe a broker’s responsibility goes beyond helping your clients find the right loan. It’s also about making sure your clients understand the risks associated with having a large debt, so they can decide how to best protect against them. Put simply, My Protection Plan is an optional life insurance policy which provides some protection for clients and is unlike Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) which protects the lender. You can read more about My Protection Plan here.

Is becoming authorised right for you and your business?

As an ALI authorised representative you will be authorised under our Australian Financial Services Licence. This is different to an accreditation from a lender and carries more responsibilities for you and obligations for us. We also provide you cover under ALI’s Professional Indemnity Insurance (PI) which means that your existing PI insurance held by you to cover your credit activities does not need to be amended to offer insurance under authorisation of ALI Group. To understand the terms and conditions of authorisation further, click below.
