From the Founder

Pioneering a new way
forward for brokers.

The broker channel has spent decades accepting a model that quietly takes more as you grow. We believe the brokers who build this industry should own what they build — their income, their clients, their future.

ExBanqi is that conviction made real: independent economics, institutional strength, and a community of brokers building businesses without a ceiling. This is the start of a better era — and we're just getting started.

Both Sides of the Industry

Twenty years, seen from every angle.

PRE-GFC
Started as a broker

Bill began in the broker channel before the GFC — learning the business from the front line, deal by deal.

INSIDE THE BANKS
Lending & BDM roles

Lending Manager and BDM positions with the Westpac Group — watching credit decisions get made in real time.

BACK TO BROKING
Senior BDM, Suncorp & AMP

Senior BDM roles in the broker channel — depth across both sides that shaped how ExBanqi was built.

“We didn't reinvent the wheel.
We removed the tax sitting on top of it.”
— Bill Amarantos, Founder & Director

ExBanqi is an independent mortgage aggregator for Australian finance and mortgage brokers. It charges a flat $990/month with 100% commission retention, includes the SFG Connect platform (powered by Salestrekker 2.0), and provides access to 70+ lenders — operating under ACL 387025 held by Specialist Finance Group.

Bill Amarantos, who spent 20+ years across the Australian finance industry — as a broker and in lending and BDM roles with the Westpac Group, Suncorp and AMP.

Traditional aggregators take a percentage split of broker commissions. ExBanqi charges a single flat monthly fee instead, so brokers keep 100% of upfront and trail — with no splits, no lock-in contracts and no volume tiers.
