With an election just weeks away, the Federal Government backs away from the banking royal commission's recommendation that all commissions in the mortgage broking industry be abolished.

With an election just weeks away, the Federal Government has backed away from the banking royal commission's recommendation that all commissions in the mortgage broking industry be abolished.When Kenneth Hayne's final report was released, the Government pledged to ban trailing commissions from July 2020

That is despite overwhelming evidence that loans arranged by brokers tend to be larger, take longer to pay down and cost more than loans arranged directly with banks or other providers. And because the commission is a percentage of the size of the loan, there is also an incentive to encourage clients to borrow as much as possible.

Bank staff and third-party mortgage brokers are paid incentives and bonuses often based on the volume and size of the loans they write, rather than what's in the best interests of customers. The sales-driven culture was criticised by Kenneth Hayne in the final report of his royal commission.

Trailing commission's are wrong. IMO. Would a broker push a loan applicant to pay off a loan quickly, or a long term loan, where their commissions remain forward he period if the loan?

Disappointingly poor reporting. Blinkered and stubborn trend with this subject continues.

So much for reform.

Glass-Stegall because the banks and their regulators can never ever be trusted again !

What happens when parliament ignores what the professionals in the trade say?
