Marketplace lender MoneyPlace is skipping along in loan originations, much of its funding flowing through its new controlling shareholder, Auswide Bank.Auswide now holds a 63.3 per cent stake in MoneyPlace, after picking up a 44 percentage point stake several months ago.Auswide's contribution to funding for MoneyPlace reached A$14 million at the end of June 2017, up from $1.4 million at June 2016, the bank disclosed in its results for the 2017 financial year."Loan fundings [for MoneyPlace] continue to increase" and range from $2 million to $2.5 million a month, Martin Barrett, managing director of Auswide said in an investor presentation.In February, Stuart Stoyan, CEO of MoneyPlace put the lender's overall loan book at around $10 million.The "average net margin" on MoneyPlace lending is 7.4 per cent, Barrett said.The momentum around a boutique financier (and an equity holding for Auswide of less than $3 million) is still small beer for the bank, which counts central Queensland as home. The bank has $3.3 billion in assets, with $2.8 billion in mortgage receivables, equal to a 0.21 per cent market share.The margin trends on the mortgage book aren't so favourable for the bank, with the net interest margin down by six basis points to 190 bps across the year to June 2017.Net profit for Auswide lifted 30 per cent to $15.1 million while underlying net profit rose 11 per cent to 15.6 per cent.The bank's return on equity increased to 6.9 per cent from 5.8 per cent while its return on tangible equity lifted to 8.9 per cent from 7.4 per cent.In a rare move for Australia's banking sector, the bank's dividend reinvestment plan will be fully underwritten by Baillieu Holst, to raise "at least $6.9 million in capital."
