Dealify (AU) awards and nominations (2026)

If you’re looking for a broker to help you find the best deals on car finance, it pays to go with the best. At Dealify, we pride ourselves on getting the best rates for our customers and this is backed up by the awards that we’ve won and been named as finalist for.

As a boutique brokerage in Newcastle, we’re often the underdog in these categories but the fact that we’re going toe-to-toe with bigger brokerages who have hundreds of members of staff and even franchise opportunities means we’re clearly doing something right. And where they beat us on numbers, we beat them on the human touch, the customer care and the attention to each individual application.
