Bananas Inc promises to match top commission fees

It is challenging intermediaries to find a packager paying a higher procuration fee on a given sub-prime mortgage product and promise to match it.

Bananas Inc has checked its procuration rates against those of its competitors and is confident that it will not be beaten. The challenge runs until the end of March.

Bananas Inc uncovered large procuration differences between packagers when undertaking its research. One sub-prime mortgage product attracted a range of procuration rewards, depending on the packager, from 0.5 per cent to 1.25 per cent.

Sue Cox, Bananas Inc business development manager, said: “We are very aware the intermediaries’ time is precious. They do not have the time to check all the procuration rates on a mortgage product, so we have made sure that we have the best. However, if brokers do manage to find a higher procuration rate somewhere else for a given sub-prime product, we will match it.”
