This portrait bust of John Symond captures the warmth and determination of one of Australia’s most influential business leaders, with a smile that reflects his resilience and optimism. Widely recognized as the founder of Aussie Home Loans, John revolutionized the home loan industry, introducing competition and challenging the dominance of traditional banks.

John’s journey began in his family’s fruit shop, where he learned the value of hard work and adaptability. His bold strategies, including his now-famous “war against the banks,” set him apart as a visionary. More recently, he reinvented Aussie as a mortgage broker, further solidifying its position in the industry.

Honored with an induction into the Australian Banking and Finance Magazine’s Hall of Fame, John’s legacy extends beyond business. Through the John Symond Foundation, he has supported numerous charitable causes, leaving an enduring impact on both the corporate and philanthropic landscapes.
