01
The problem
You rely on referrals, and people searching for an adviser find someone else first.
The fix
Be found on Find a Mortgage Broker, turn website visitors into enquiries with CalcStudio, and pick up new client opportunities through ClientConnection.
02
The problem
You go quiet, the refix comes round, and another adviser – or the bank – gets the business.
The fix
Stay in touch by email and text with ClientConnection and see who read what. Base IQ finds the refixes and next deals already sitting in your database.
03
The problem
Subscriptions, compliance, CPD and running costs eat into what you take home.
The fix
Tools included in one fee, member offers from PB Tech, FSCL and Cotality plus introductions to other suppliers advisers use, courses with your PDP and CPD records, and today's rates and market news in one place.
How it all comes together
Every part feeds the next. People find you, your calculators start the conversation, you win the client, and you keep them for the next deal. Tap any part of the circle to see what it does.
Everything you need to keep up, free for New Zealand mortgage advisers.

$990 + GST a year, or $99 + GST a month
That's about $2.71 a day + GST on the yearly plan – less than half the price of a flat white.

Weekly market update – week ending 23 October 2026
“I'm already busy.”
Then you need tools that bring clients to you, not more cold calls.
“I already have a website.”
Good. Now make it work – calculators turn visitors into enquiries.
“I'm new to the industry.”
Get found, get trained and get support from day one.
“I'm with a FAP or aggregator.”
NZMAI works alongside them. It's yours, and it goes where you go.

Do you have an adviser, or want to find a local one? Find a Mortgage Broker (opens in a new tab)
General information only, not financial advice.
Mortgage advisers in New Zealand, including people new to the industry. You create your NZMAI account as you join, and it is ready as soon as you have confirmed your email address.
Your membership starts as soon as your payment goes through. Your welcome email explains how to use each part of it. Yearly members: We set up your CalcStudio Professional and Enhanced listing for you and email your access within one business day – please don't sign up on those sites yourself. Want us to put the calculators on your website as well? We can do that for $95 + GST – talk to us.
Monthly membership can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. Yearly membership is not refundable, but you can turn off automatic renewal in your account at any time so it ends at the end of the year you paid for.
Not ClientConnection itself: it is provided by Riverhorse Technologies Limited under its own terms, sets its own prices and has its own login. While the founding member offer is on, yearly members who join also get a $100 ClientConnection lead credit (use within 6 months, no cash value), added by NZMAI staff.
Prices are shown excluding GST. GST at 15% is added when you pay.
