Partner with Siare.
Certainty, speed, and flexibility for brokers, accountants, advisers and agents who demand more for their clients.
Two ways to earn.
- Market leading commissions
- Earn more by continuing to refer
- Submit and monitor referrals easily in the online portal
Client referrals
Paid once, on the 1st of the month after funding. No clawback. Current rates, published in the portal.
Partner referrals
Referring other partners who then refer clients that engage
Disclaimer: Siare Referral Program v4.0. Rates shown are current rates, published in the Rate Schedule in the partner portal, and can change on 30 days' notice; the portal also shows their change history and your signed agreement. Commission is paid as a single payment on the 1st of the month after a deal funds — deals funding on or after the 21st are paid in the following month's run. A broker fee of 0.06% of the facility currently applies to home loans and residential investment loans; you nominate at referral whether you or your client pays it, and where you pay it, 50% of the fee is returned as a loyalty bonus at twelve months and again at twenty-four months while the loan is on foot and your membership is active. Figures and examples are illustrative and exclude GST. Referrers must not provide credit assistance or financial product advice unless licensed. Commissions are paid by Siare or a related company. See the Referral Program Terms and Conditions for more information.

Refer a borrower, share the commission
Refer clients who need residential or commercial mortgage finance, or developers and investors who need property-secured credit — purchase, refinance, construction or bridging. You pass on the contact with your client's consent and disclose that a fee may be paid; we do the rest. Rates shown are current rates from the Rate Schedule in the partner portal.
Facility types this covers
Purchase, refinance, construction and bridging — for residential or commercial mortgage finance, and for developers or investors needing property-secured credit.
Of the facility
On referred private-credit deals funded by Siare, paid once the facility settles and is drawn. Minimum $2,000, no maximum.
Once paid, it stays paid
A paid referral fee is not clawed back. The only exception: it is repayable if your own business refinances the loan within 24 months.
Earned on funding
Your fee is earned when the facility settles and is drawn, not at lodgement, term sheet or credit approval.
One payment, on the 1st
Paid in full on the 1st of the month after the deal funds. Deals funding on or after the 21st are paid in the following month’s run.
No activity test
No instalments, no activity test and no monthly cap on referral fees. One payment, and it is yours.
Refer a mandate we take to market
Refer any residential or commercial mortgage as a broker, or refer companies, trusts and developers who need commercial debt or development finance advice. We are not always the lender — sometimes we scope the requirement, test the feasibility and arrange the facility across bank and non-bank lenders, and sometimes we fund it ourselves. Either way, broking and advisory referrals are paid under the same schedule: a share of the commission we receive. Rates shown are current rates from the Rate Schedule in the partner portal.
Of the upfront commission we receive, in one payment
Half of the upfront commission the lender pays us on the facility we arrange for your client. No cap, no instalments and no activity test.
Indicative fee confirmed upfront
Commission varies by lender and facility type, so we confirm the indicative fee in writing before the mandate starts — you never have to guess what a referral is worth.
On home and residential investment loans
At lodgement you choose who pays it: you, deducted from your payment, or your client, disclosed before application. Pay it yourself and stay Active, and it comes back in full as a loyalty bonus: 50% at 12 months, 50% at 24.
Hand over, or stay in the background — you choose
Hand over · 50%
Pass the client to us and step back. We take it from there — assessment, structuring, placement and settlement — and keep you updated on progress.
Stay in the background · 40%
A white-label arrangement: you stay the point of contact and we never contact your client. We do the assessment, structuring and placement behind the scenes.
Background referrals are paid at 40% of the commission we receive. If we end up engaging your client directly, the fee is 50%. Choose whichever suits how your business runs, deal by deal.
La Trobe Financial Preferred Partner
Siare is a La Trobe Financial Preferred Platinum Partner. That accreditation is why we can move on complex scenarios your client would otherwise wait weeks on:
- Priority processing — faster assessment turnaround and scenarios workshopped ahead of the queue.
- Dedicated support — direct access to senior Business Development Managers and specialised credit teams.
- Top-tier recognition — formal status as a leading producer, which carries weight when a deal needs an exception.
If we end up funding the facility ourselves, you are still paid. Where a referral is routed to our own lending arm rather than placed with an external lender, your referral is paid on the same basis as if you had referred the client straight to our lending arm. Which internal door your client ends up going through never changes what you earn.
Success means deployment
The fee triggers when the facility is actually drawn and the commission reaches us — not at lodgement, term sheet or credit approval.
One payment, on the 1st
Paid on the 1st of the month after the deal funds. Deals funding on or after the 21st are paid in the following month’s run.
No clawback of a paid fee
No activity test and no monthly cap. A paid fee is only repayable if your own business refinances the loan within 24 months.
A panel built for complex capital
Our expertise is getting complex capital structures approved — the deals a standard credit box declines. That is why we have built relationships with a specific subset of lenders rather than accrediting with everyone: a deliberate mix of bank, non-bank and private credit balance sheets, chosen so that we can land time-critical approvals for our clients.

Introduce another referrer, earn on everything they write
Bring another professional into the program and you become their partner referrer — earning a partner networking commission of 10% of the referral fees they earn, whatever their role in a deal, for 24 months from the introduction. It is funded by us, on top: it never reduces their fee, and it never comes out of the client's pocket. It accrues while your own membership is Active.
Direct referrer
You send the client straight to us. You earn the full schedule fee on the deal.
Indirect referrer
You send the client to another professional first and lodge it. When they refer the client to us, you take 20% of the fee and the direct referrer nets 80%, per deal.
Partner referrer
You introduced another referrer to the program. You earn 10% of what they earn, funded by us on top.
Of their referral fees
Calculated on the referral fees the person you introduced earns, across every schedule. It is not earned on their loyalty bonuses.
Months from introduction
Your partner referral fee runs for two years from the date you introduce them and lodge it in the portal.
House-funded
Paid by us on top of the headline fee, so the person you introduced is never worse off for having been introduced by you.
The conditions
- Your membership must be Active. Networking commission accrues only while you have at least one successful referral in the preceding 12 months: a direct or indirect client referral that settled, or a partner referral where the professional you introduced created and verified a portal account. One referral a year keeps every bonus open, not one per deal.
- One tier only. There is no networking commission earned on other networking commission. Because the direct and indirect referrers on a deal may each have their own partner referrer, at most two can attach to a single deal.
- Anti-stacking. If you would earn both an indirect referral fee and networking commission on the same deal, you receive the 20% indirect fee only.
- Paid with the underlying fee. Networking commission follows the fee it is calculated on: one payment on the 1st of the month after the deal funds, or monthly where the underlying Schedule C fee is paid monthly.
- No self-dealing, and a monthly limit. You cannot introduce your own business or related entities. Up to 50 partner referrals are accepted each month across the program.
- Registered in the portal. Introductions are lodged and time-stamped in the portal, the professional you introduce creates and verifies their own account, and the register decides attribution if two people claim the same introduction.

What this looks like in practice
Two illustrative partners, and what the program pays them. Figures are illustrative, exclude GST and use current rates — actual fees depend on the commission, facility or investment amount on each deal.
Elena
Mortgage broker · direct referrer
If her client pays the broker fee instead, Elena receives the full $2,600 up front and her client is charged $480, disclosed before application. Either way her share is 50%, and a paid fee is not clawed back.
Grace, and Marcus who introduced her
Grace: accountant · direct referrer — Marcus: financial planner · her partner referrer
The fund fee is $5,000 a year, paid monthly for 24 months. Marcus's $1,500 is funded by Siare on top, so Grace's fee is not reduced, and it accrues while Marcus's own membership is Active. *Fund referral schedule pending final approval.
All examples are illustrative, use current rates and are quoted excluding GST. Referral fees are paid from our own revenue and never from the trust; where a client pays the broker fee, it is disclosed to them before application. Referrers must not provide credit assistance, credit advice or financial product advice, and must disclose to the client that a referral fee may be paid. RCTIs are issued on every payment run and an ABN is required. Full program terms are set out in the Referral Agreement, and current rates are published in the Rate Schedule in the partner portal, which can change on 30 days' notice.
Track every referral you have lodged
Registered referral partners use the portal to lodge and track referrals, see the current Rate Schedule and its change history, read your signed agreement, choose your fee election, and download RCTIs and payment statements. Accreditation is required before access is granted.
