Proudly helping West Aussies since ‘00

Locals looking out for locals

At North West Finance, we’ve been helping West Australians live the dream for over 20 years. As your trusted local mortgage broker with offices right across the state, we’re as reliable as a Bintang singlet on Cable Beach, here to do all the hard work to get the loan that makes the dream happen, for free. It’s not rocket surgery. It’s as simple as blue and white.

Spirit of the West

We’re a whole different kettle of barramundi. After spending 25 years with a major bank, our legendary founder Bill Knighton drew a line in the pindan and decided that if the banks wouldn’t come to the North, he’d bring the North to the banks. In 2000 North West Finance was born, finally leading the region out of the loan wilderness by delivering a mortgage broker run by locals, for locals. Soon finance stalwart Ian Poulter would jump on board as we set our sights on helping more families and businesses across the state. Now with offices in Kununurra, Karratha, Broome, and Perth, we’re here to stay.

This is how we roll

  • Looking after people

    Our mantra since day dot. We know this is not about rates and contracts and fees. This is about your life. It’s why we take the time to get to know you and your plans, so we can find the right solution.

  • Easy does it

    Our passion is simplifying the complex to ensure buyers and businesses in our local community can make life decisions with confidence that help them realise their hopes, dreams and ambitions.

  • Love local

    We may be small, but with offices in Perth, Broome, Karratha and Kununurra, and a team of legends that live locally, available any day and time, we understand how you like to live and work.

  • Stay loyal

    At North West Finance, our loyal workers actually love their jobs. Most of us have stayed here for 20 years, bringing true local knowledge of how the banks work, and a familiar face you know and trust.

  • Give back

    We’re genuinely invested in the communities we live and work in. It’s why you’ll see us out and about, sponsoring local events or chasing golf, netball or cricket balls.

  • No bias

    We’re proud to be an independent finance broker.. It’s how we offer 100% unbiased third-party advice to ensure customers make smart financial decisions. And besides, we’re just good people.

So hold up – who pays for all this?

Our service is 100% free for you. That’s not a typo, by the way. When we say free, we mean free free. Complimentary. Gratis. On the house. No strings attached. But don’t worry, we get to dip our beaks too. The lender you go with pays us a sweet little commish to say thanks for taking care of your loan application (and taking extra good care of you).

Winner winner,
chicken dinner.
