A one-stop, end-to-end commissions processing system
Accurate, efficient processing and distribution of commission payments. Seamless import and validation of data.
An aggregator’s business is built on relationships. And commission payment is one of the most important interactions between you and your brokers. It needs to be a smooth, efficient, error-free process.
But it can be difficult to keep track of multiple brokers and lenders on different commission structures. Manipulating and validating data from various lender files, processing and distributing commission payments to various recipients – all of this is time consuming, expensive and open to error.
You need a solution that handles it all automatically, keeps up with the changing needs of your business, and doesn’t involve a massive investment in labour.
But it has to be built on intimate knowledge of the aggregator business model – not only the mechanics of payment, but also detailed, up-to-date knowledge of the ever-changing compliance environment.

Customised automation using best-of-breed technology
Loanworks has been providing technology to the financial services sector since 1998. We’ve partnered with many brand names over the years, designing, implementing and perfecting technology specifically to suit our clients’ business models.

Data import, validation and exception reporting
Our software has the ability to import data files and fully integrate with your internal platforms. The validation function possesses a suite of data quality rules and provides seamless exception handling (e.g. lender data mismatch).
Commission payment models
The Loanworks system supports various out-of-the-box commission payment models, including upfront, trail, clawback, fees, non mortgages (insurance, personal loan payments), utilisation clawback, sundry and manual adjustments. We also support offset account balance and drawn-down balance rules.
Invoicing, accounting export
We automatically generate and distribute customised RCTI invoices and commission statements (per channel) via e-mail or your specific portal. We can also export standard ABA files and GL accounting files (Sun, Technology 1, MYOB, Oracle).
Reporting suite
Out-of-the-box reporting suites are used to validate bank payments against commission payments (receivable vs payable), batch exceptions, proposed payments, trail variance and paid commissions. Your reports can be tailored according to your needs using our SQL reporting engine.
