Pepper Money named
Top Mortgage Employer for 2026

This marks the third time Pepper Money has received the recognition, reflecting its ongoing commitment to creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported and empowered to succeed.

The annual MPA Top Mortgage Employers awards recognise businesses that are setting the standard for employee experience across Australia's mortgage industry. This year, Pepper Money was among 22 organisations recognised, with winners determined through anonymous employee feedback and required to achieve an overall satisfaction rating of at least 75%.

Pepper Money CEO Mario Rehayem said the recognition reflected the strength of Pepper Money's people and the important role they play in the business's success.

"Our people are what make Pepper Money the business it is today. They bring passion, expertise and a genuine commitment to helping our customers and brokers to succeed every day.

Being recognised as one of Australia's top mortgage employers again is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the culture we've built together. We're incredibly proud of our team and the contribution they make to our business and the wider industry.

With a team of more than 800 people across three regions, Pepper Money continues to champion an inclusive and supportive workplace culture, where employees are encouraged to grow, share ideas and make a meaningful difference.

Pepper Money Chief Human Resources Officer Sue Kent said the recognition was particularly meaningful because it was informed by feedback from employees themselves.

"Creating a great place to work starts with listening to our people and understanding what matters most to them.

"We continue to invest in learning, career development, wellbeing, inclusion and workplace flexibility, while fostering a culture where our people feel connected to purpose, empowered to grow and encouraged to bring their own X Factor to work every day.

Our culture is built on a simple belief, championed by our CEO Mario, that people should feel respected, recognised and rewarded. Combined with our Employee X Factor philosophy, we’re proud of the workplace we’ve built; where individuality is celebrated, contributions are valued, and every person  can make a meaningful impact.

"Ultimately, it's our team members who bring our 'really helpful' promise to life, and we're committed to making Pepper Money a place where they can continue to thrive."
