New Quickli data reveals brokers are comparing more lenders and converting faster
13 March 2026, Sydney: New data from Quickli, Australia's leading technology platform for mortgage brokers, reveals that brokers are becoming significantly more efficient in their client recommendations, with the average number of scenarios exported per broker increasing 28% from February 2025 to February 2026, reaching a record high.
The data, part of Quickli's Broker Efficiency Report, shows that while brokers continue performing rigorous multi-lender analysis with over 2 million total scenarios created, they're converting a greater share of that work into high-intent lender submissions.
On Quickli, an "exported" scenario means a broker has completed their comparison across more than 45 lenders and is ready to proceed towards a formal application. Export conversion rates climbed from 27% in February 2025 to over 36% in February 2026, demonstrating growing broker confidence in presenting solutions to clients.
The most active brokers on Quickli each created 23+ scenarios per month on average.
Dr Amir Shareghi Najar, Head of Data at Quickli, said, “Each scenario on Quickli constitutes a comprehensive lending comparison undertaken by a broker, where they evaluate rates, features, fees, and borrowing capacity across more than 45 lenders for a specific client.”
“What we’re seeing is brokers becoming more decisive. They’re still doing thorough, multi-lender comparisons—that hasn’t changed. But they’re converting more of that comparison work into actual lender submissions. They’re getting to ‘yes, this is the right option’ faster and with more confidence.” said Dr Shareghi Najar.
The surge in broker activity mirrors broader market trends. The number of active brokers using Quickli grew 32% from February 2025 to February 2026, tracking closely with the RBA's rate-cutting cycle as refinancing enquiries and new lending demand surged. Across the platform, brokers created scenarios representing over $725 billion in total lending during the 12-month to February 2026.
Dr Shareghi Najar explained that created scenarios represent the comprehensive analytical processes undertaken by brokers, including the detailed comparison work performed in the background.
“Exported scenarios, on the other hand, indicate that a broker has identified strong options and is prepared to move towards submitting a formal application to a lender. An increase in the export rate suggests that brokers are more effectively converting their analytical efforts into client-ready solutions, resulting in greater efficiency and enabling faster, more confident client service. This data further indicates that as brokers adopt more sophisticated comparison tools, they are not only accelerating their workflow but also enhancing the precision and confidence behind their recommendations.”
Quickli’s Broker Efficiency Report is drawn from more than 13,000 broker subscribers using Quickli's home loan comparison engine.
