30 years in banking. 15 years in executive leadership. A wealth of experience now working directly for you.
Nathan Austin brings something rare to the Mankin Finance team: 30 years of deep banking experience, 15 of which were spent in executive leadership roles at some of Australia's most respected financial institutions.
His career has spanned residential, commercial and institutional finance, giving him a comprehensive understanding of how lenders think, how decisions are made, and how to structure deals that get across the line. That insider knowledge is now entirely in your corner.
Nathan's connection to Mankin Finance runs deeper than most. He and Michael Mankin worked together at Westpac Institutional Bank, where Nathan served as Michael's executive manager. It was in that environment that the foundation of trust and shared values was built. When Michael founded Mankin Finance, Nathan was the natural first call.
Today Nathan brings that executive perspective to every client interaction whether it's a first home buyer navigating their first application, an investor structuring a portfolio, or a business owner seeking commercial finance. His ability to read between the lines of a lender's assessment criteria and find the right solution is second to none.
"After 30 years on the other side of the desk, I know exactly what lenders are looking for. My job now is to make sure our clients present the strongest possible case every single time."
