The Compelling Journey that Gave Birth to Pink France
The story behind Pink Finance dates back to 2001 when Nicole Cannon, the Director of Pink Finance embarked on her journey to purchase her first property. She was excited but nervous, not knowing much about the mortgage world she was about to enter. However, her initial enthusiasm soon turned into disappointment as the mortgage broker seemed disinterested in sharing knowledge or providing guidance. Frustrated and disheartened, Nicole took matters into her own hands, diligently managing her loan and tracking its progress. This personal struggle inspired her to help others facing similar challenges, leading her to become a qualified mortgage broker in 2002.
In those early years, Nicole recognized a prevailing issue within the industry. Mortgage brokers were often perceived as greedy solely focused on their own commissions. Determined to change this perception and make a positive impact, Nicole established Pink Finance in 2009. She envisioned a business that would prioritize ethics and customer satisfaction. As an expression of her values, she chose to affiliate with the McGrath Foundation, a charity close to her heart and originally pledged to donate 10% of her trailing commissions. Since its inception, Pink Finance has built a stellar reputation for its exceptional customer service, commitment to client education, and unwavering ethical standards. “Pink Finance is proud to have helped every client get closer to achieving their financial goal. We’re here to help anyone who needs finance structure advice and broking services throughout Australia,” asserts Nicole.
Today, Pink Finance offers a comprehensive range of services designed to cater to the diverse financial needs of its clients. With a team of highly experienced consultants, the company provides tailored advice and guidance on loan structures, ensuring that clients are well-informed before embarking on any application process. It encourages clients to ask questions and actively participate in their financial journey. Additionally, Pink Finance offers a Finance Health Check, which assesses clients’ loans, interest rates, repayments, and fees to tailor them better to their lifestyles or circumstances.

The company goes beyond the numbers to build a connection with its clients. It understands that each individual’s financial journey is unique and uses their experience as the backbone to guide clients towards their homeownership goals. “We will ask about your financial circumstances and objectives to find out what’s important to you in a home loan. For example, flexibility might be important because you plan to start a family, or you may want ready access to equity for a rental property or renovations. Whatever your plans, we will research the market and recommend the right home loan to suit your needs. We always look for the right loan for you, not the lender,” elucidates Nicole. Furthermore, opting for Pink Finance brings clients the undeniable advantage of gaining access to an extensive network comprising over 60 esteemed Australian lenders.
