In March 2011 The Adviser, in conjunction with leading banking and finance research house RFi, will host the Australian Lending Awards – the first research-based industry awards that recognise the nation’s best lenders.

Your responses to the below survey questions will help determine which lenders are voted as Australia’s best across their products, service and overall third party operations.

In assessing Australia’s lenders a robust and transparent process will be engaged that not only measures broker perception towards lenders but also takes into account the views and opinions of over 6,000 consumers, plus a panel of respected judges in Australian finance.

This unique view of the operations of the nation’s lenders will clearly identify the leaders in their respective fields and give accolade to those that are best servicing the financing needs of borrowers – your clients.

As part of the judging process we would appreciate if you could take just ONE MINUTE to share your views below on lenders’ third party operations across a number of key areas.
