About NZMAI
New Zealand's professional body for mortgage advisers — providing compliance resources, professional development, and a thriving industry community since 2010.
Our Mission
NZMAI exists to raise professional standards across New Zealand's mortgage advice sector. We support advisers with the resources, training, and community they need to deliver excellent outcomes for their clients.
New Zealand's regulatory environment for financial advice has evolved significantly under the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Act (FSLAB). We help advisers navigate these changes with clarity — translating complex compliance obligations into practical guidance.
Whether you're a new adviser working toward your first FAP licence, or an experienced professional maintaining your CPD — NZMAI is built to support you at every stage of your career.
What We Do
NZMAI provides four core pillars of support for New Zealand mortgage advisers.
We track and translate New Zealand financial regulation so advisers don't have to. Our compliance library covers CCCFA, FMA guidance, and FAP obligations — kept current as regulations evolve.
From initial qualification support to ongoing CPD, we provide structured pathways for advisers at every career stage. All courses are designed to meet FSLAB and FMA CPD requirements.
Access a curated library of templates, tools, calculators, and best-practice guides built specifically for New Zealand mortgage advisers. Save time and work with confidence.
Connect with peers through our professional forums, regional events, and national conferences. NZMAI brings New Zealand's mortgage adviser community together to share knowledge and grow.
Why NZMAI
We believe that well-supported advisers deliver better outcomes for New Zealand homebuyers. Our focus is entirely on the NZ market — our resources reflect local regulation, local lenders, and the real-world challenges of advising in Aotearoa.
NZMAI is built on three core principles: professional standards that protect consumers, practical support that makes advisers more effective, and a collaborative community that strengthens the whole industry.
We welcome advisers at every career stage — from those exploring whether mortgage advice is right for them, to seasoned professionals looking for a professional home that matches their commitment to excellence.
