Founded by two former NAB bankers, Athena is Australia’s dominant contender to disrupt the residential mortgage banking model held so tightly by the big four banks for so long. They compete on the basis of a delightfully quick and simple customer experience and transparently low pricing and are constantly being rated highly by their borrowers on both. They recently closed the biggest-ever Australian round led by local investors, and we sit alongside a high calibre investor base in the form of Square Peg, Airtree, Hostplus, AustralianSuper, Salesforce Ventures, NAB Ventures and Macquarie.
