Our Story

It began with a shock. When we compared the home loan options from our broker to what was truly available across the market, we realised we could save over $150,000, without changing a thing except who we spoke to.

As busy professionals, we valued the convenience of brokers. But the difference in cost was impossible to ignore. There was nothing else in our lives, no investment, no shortcut, that could have saved or earned us more than applying for the loan ourselves.

So, over a couple of days we did the paperwork, and got it done.
Then we asked: Why isn’t there a way to get both?
The maximum savings and the support you need?

That’s why we built Monetas: to search more broadly, calculate more accurately, and share the value back with the people who matter most - you.

Founder

Rahul Lele founded Monetas after a decade-long career in technology and financial services. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and spent nine years at Amazon Web Services, where he led a product team building solutions at scale.

As a Sydney homeowner, Rahul intimately understands the critical impact a mortgage has on a family's financial wellbeing. When he compared the home loan options from his own broker to what was truly available across the market, the gap was staggering, and he knew the traditional process was failing borrowers.

The problem wasn't a lack of good loans. It was that the process itself was confusing, overwhelming, and riddled with misaligned incentives. It wore customers down until they stopped scrutinising the very rates and fees that would affect their finances for decades.

Rahul created Monetas to fix that. He combined his product-building experience with a deep understanding of financial services to design a platform that searches more broadly, calculates more accurately, and shares value back with customers through a commission-sharing model. The result is a service that not only saves customers money but respects their intelligence and agency in one of life's most significant financial decisions.
