Darren McCormack spent his career at Westpac, Barclays and NatWest before founding Mayfair Finance — so he knows exactly how lenders think, and uses it to get you the outcome, not just an approval.
Darren has been in the finance industry since 1989 — with senior roles at Westpac Banking Corporation in Australia, and at Barclays Bank and National Westminster Bank in London. That's three of the world's largest banks, and a rare vantage point on exactly what a credit committee is looking for before they say yes.
In 2013 he founded Mayfair Finance Australia to put that experience to work on the client's side of the desk — testing the market on your behalf across more than 50 lenders, rather than defaulting to the first approval that comes back.
Home loans, refinancing, bridging finance and debt consolidation — sourced across 50+ lenders, not just one bank's shelf.
Business loans, overdrafts, debtor finance and commercial property lending, structured around how your business actually operates.
Business vehicles approved within hours, equipment finance within 48 — built for owners who can't wait weeks on a bank queue.
SMSF property lending and development finance for investors building a long-term portfolio, not just a single purchase.
Recognised across multiple categories for service and client outcomes — the same standard Darren brings to every file, from a first home buyer to a $6.5m business refinance.
Our Debt Portfolio Review takes 15 minutes and typically uncovers $3,000–$15,000 a year in savings on home lending, and $10,000–$110,000 a year on business finance.
Our record result: a client who'd stayed loyal to one bank for over 20 years — we renegotiated their pricing and kept the relationship entirely intact.
