Written by the company

Crown Money helps Australian homeowners who feel stuck on the 30-year mortgage treadmill, paying too much interest and unsure how they’ll be set up for retirement own their home sooner and ultimately build more wealth. Every 23 days we call a client to say they are debt free! Founded by Scott Parry – a former practising financial adviser with decades of experience helping everyday Australians – Crown Money was created to give people a practical, numbers-driven and accountable alternative to the bank’s “set and forget” approach. The team of financial strategists, coaches and advisors focus on strategy, education and coaching so clients can make better decisions with confidence. For more than 23 years, our team has worked with thousands of families to take control of their home loan, cashflow and long-term wealth plan. Clients typically shorten their loan term from the bank’s 25–30 years to around 12 years on average, while building investments and buffers in the background so they’re not just debt-free, but financially set for life. We’re not a traditional lender or broker. We combine tailored loan structures, ongoing coaching, clear reporting and simple tools so clients can see how fast their debt is falling, how much interest they’re saving, and what steps to take next. Unlike a tradition broker that sets a loan up and forgets you, our coaches optimise and adjust your plan every 6 months at a minimum. Our Financially Set For Life programs help clients move beyond “just the mortgage” to building wealth: using equity more effectively, potentially planning future property purchases, reviewing super and protection settings with their advisers, and creating a realistic roadmap to the lifestyle they want in 10–20 years’ time. Crown Money partners with wholesale lenders to cut out greedy banks and also work with independent research providers, but we work only for our clients – never the banks. With 7,000+ clients helped, 23+ years of results, industry awards and thousands of positive reviews and case studies, our focus is simple: real numbers, real education and real progress toward being financially set for life.

Our 12-month performance promise

12 Month Guarantee

If, after 12 months on our program and following your agreed Crown Money strategy, your principal reduction hasn’t improved compared with your previous loan, we’ll refund your program fee and support you to switch to another loan you qualify for (full terms available on our website).

Best service at Crown with Scott and his team

Scott and his team at Crown are by your side every step when you decide to make the best decision financially to your mortgage debt. They provide quick response's via email, phone or even zoom. You don’t get that type of service with a typical bank. Every question is answered and you are treated with the most respect and valued client everytime. We built our house in 2013 and we have been with Crown since October 2023. To be honest, I feel we wasted those 10 years on the typical offset bank loan structure, we got no where. The first 6 months with Crown was way better than the previous 6 years with typical bank. We don’t worry about our mortgage or our financial position, we are on track to being debt free set in our plan. Our only regret is we didn’t do this sooner.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it really means a lot. We’re stoked to hear the first 6 months with Crown have felt better than years with the old bank, and that you’re now feeling confident and on track to be debt free. Scott and the team will be wrapped to read this. Your “only regret we didn’t do it sooner” line will definitely help others who are on the fence. Trying new things is scary, you should be proud of those results!!
Thanks again for trusting Crown Money and here to celebrate all those years shaved off your loan, go team!

Crown Money - you won’t regret it!

After seeing Crown Money pop up on my Instagram feed I convinced my husband to look into it further. We had a zoom meeting with Hayley Wilson who walked us through the process and made becoming mortgage free feel genuinely achievable. She is incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging. The team regularly checks in and keeps us updated with our progress, which we really appreciate. Even after just a few months, we’re already seeing great results. We couldn’t recommend Hayley and the Crown Money team highly enough.

We’re stoked that Hayley could make “mortgage-free” feel real and that the regular check-ins are hitting the mark. We’ll keep cheering you both on as the results keep rolling in. Keep smashing that principal!!

Thank you so much for this lovely review 🙏 We’re thrilled to hear your experience has been smooth from that first enquiry right through to now. Hayley will be especially proud to know her care and passion came through. We know doing something different to the what the "normal" is can feel like a big step, so it means a lot that you trusted Crown Money to look after you.

Best decision we made

Joining Crown Money has been a blessing for us.Since the set up we have no more stress of paying bills.We didn't need any extra income, just had to learn how to make the money we made work for us.In our first 3 months of being with Crown we have paid more off our principle then in 1 year with our last bank.Highly recommend Crown Money to anyone wanting to be debt free sooner then later.
To the Crown Money team thank you for all the guidance and support since joining, we appreciate it.A huge thank you to Hayley our Financial Strategist for your motivation,encouragement and support.We look forward to our monthly check ins and progress reports.
Pick up the phone and get on board,you won't regret it.

What an amazing review – thank you! 🙏 We’re so glad the stress around bills has lifted and that you’re smashing more off the mortgage in 3 months than a whole year with the old bank. Hayley and the team will be chuffed to bits to read this, and we can’t wait to help you smash towards that debt-free finish line together. Thanks again for trusting Crown Money and for the brilliant recommendation!

Hayley Wilson/Amazballs

We had the pleasure of changing our home loan across to Crown Money and dealt with Hayley Wilson.
Her explanation of the process and knowledge of how the Big 4 banks use their tricks to keep their customers for their own benefits was eye opening and her support through the change was very reassuring and personable.
Her follow ups after making the shift is comforting that we have made the right decision.
We have already seen the change in savings and it’s only been a few months.
Can’t wait to see our mortgage gone within a shorter timeframe than the Big 4 would’ve offered.

Thanks so much for the awesome review and for trusting Crown Money with your home loan and debt free goals. Hayley will be over the moon to read this – she loves pulling back the curtain on the Big 4’s tricks and giving people their power back. It’s brilliant that you’re already seeing savings after just a few months; we’ll be cheering you on all the way to that earlier mortgage-free date!

Experience with crown money has been amazing.

They have been delivering what they have been promised.

We never had seen such mortgage reduction or savings build up with any of our other mortgage before coming to crown.

Hayley from crown money is outstanding. She is professional. Send out monthly statements that's show exact mortgage reduction by month. She also knows how to encourage & keep us motivated.

SKEPTIC TURNED BELIEVER :-)

SKEPTIC TURNED BELIEVER :-)
When we first looked into Crown Money, I was skeptical, we had been burnt before and was worried that this all sounded too good to be true. HOWEVER, from our first meeting the Crown Team were highly professional, supportive and validating, providing honest and transparent information and they have continued to do so throughout our Crown Journey so far. We have just had our first 90day review and OMG YIIIIIIPPPPEEEE, what we have achieved in 90days with Crown, is better than we have achieved in the last 2-3years, not only paying off more 1+years of principle in 90days but also reflect on budget and make BIG positive change to our family financial mindset.
Working with Crown we set Goals that at the time I wasn't sure would happen, here we are 90 days into this journey, and we are on point to not only achieve our first-year goal but to exceed it :-)
This is real, I am real. I was a skeptic; I am now a believer and looking forward to seeing what's next for our financial future.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience Lisa! I remember our first meeting, you both did very well and should both be proud of yourselves. The trajectory you are on financially, is well on track for you goals, congrats!
It can be hard to trust new people after bad experiences, banks make money by people not understanding how the industry works. Your amazing review will help us help others go from being in dark to on a path of knowledge and strength like you have!

A Defining Moment 🙌🏼

Joining crown money has been truly life changing for us. Before this , managing money and paying off our mortgage felt like a never-ending slog, with no clear light at the end of the tunnel. Crown money has completely changed the way we look at money-helping us understand how our everyday spending and habits can actually work for us, not against .

A huge part of this positive experience has been Michael koole. He has guided us through the entire process with professionalism, clarity and genuine commitment. He made us feel important at every step- never just another number, a true one on one experience, the whole crown team makes you feel at home.

Just 5 months into our journey, and we have already surpassed goals that were originally set for 12months. For the first time we feel in control, and empowered about our financial freedom, and the thought of transitioning away from shift work sooner is even more motivating.

Can’t thank the crown team enough 🙏🏼

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your financial journey and we are excited to see your next progress update soon

Financial Security

Excellent team. They do what they can to help assist the whole way through getting onboarded.

Their unwaivering support, encouragement and care has made such a difference. My results are incredible, and never did I think I would be fast tracking my debt reduction as rapidly as I am and setting up for my future with such investment strategies. I now feel in control of my finances and I have a better understanding of how to navigate saving and investing to reap maximum benefits. It has been life changing!

No mistakes, no lost time. Having proper guidance has saved me thousands already and saved so much time and hassle. Planning for my future while still enjoying my present... There is no better feeling than knowing I am financially secure!

What a huge win, well done!
Living the dream right, to go from a standard position in Australia to actually being in control. No better feeling than going to be and knowing exactly when you'll own your home and how much you'll be worth. Unfortunately they don't teach you this stuff in school!

I have been with Crown Money - Melbourne since I bought my first home, and I could never consider going anywhere else for mortgage and financial guidance.
Chelsea has been nothing short of incredible throughout my time with Crown Money, expertly navigating the mortgage brokering process with ease, making the whole process completely stress free for me. Absolute 5 star service!

Crown Money are the Real Deal

Slightly slow start for us, but once things kicked off the team were ready to go to battle. For us, definitely the standout was the one-on-one service and the communication. Michael especially always responds quickly and is willing to help in any way possible. The whole team is extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process.
The system is amazing—and it actually works. We’ve taken $43k off our mortgage in just 3 months. I always knew there was something out there, and these guys were the ones who put it all together for us.
Brilliant company. Don’t be fooled by all the random Facebook ads—these guys are the real deal.

Niki, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, it means a lot.

It's a pleasure working with you both, and we’re so glad the one-on-one support and communication stood out. This was definitely not an easy one but you guys hung in there and now get to enjoy the rewards of that hard work. Pat yourselves on the back, you're paying off what the average aussie does in 3+yrs in 3 months, a true home run and something you should both be proud of.

We’re stoked the strategy is working and that you’re seeing real momentum early.

Thanks again for choosing Crown Money and for trusting us with such an important part of your financial journey. If you ever need anything at all, we’re here for you. Keep stacking that principal!!

Life Changing Program

Life Changing Program - Wish we joined sooner

We’ve been on the program for just over two years now, and we still pinch ourselves when we look at where we are financially compared to where we started. Our money is finally working for us now, instead of feeling like we were constantly stuck in a cycle where the big banks kept us in debt. Our financial life now feels organised, intentional, and genuinely stress-free - something we honestly didn’t think was possible before joining.

From that very first chat with Scott, we felt genuinely supported and understood. Fast forward two and a half years, and the experience has only gotten better. The entire team is warm, genuine, and incredibly supportive. They actually care, and it shows in every interaction.

This program has worked not only for us, but also for several of our friends who joined after seeing our results. We’re now excited about our future in a way we never were before, because we finally feel like we’re on the right track with the right guidance behind us. Our only regret is not signing up sooner! Thanks Scott and team!

It's been our pleasure Daniel! Not everyone can say they slashed their loan in half but you've done even better than that and the early phase is the slowest it will go. We appreciate you sharing your journey so we can help others overcome that difficult change out of the "standard" system designed to keep them in profit as long as possible and to maximise profit from them. Well done, see you at the next major review in 3 months!

Thank you Crown Money

We recently moved across to Crown Money. From the first meeting with Scott, their philosophy around money just made sense. So much sense it made me wonder how we had not done this sooner!
Everything was explained to us in simple terms and very easy to get your head around. There was such a relaxed vibe and no pressure whatsoever, which I felt showed how genuine they are about helping every day Aussies be financially free sooner.
After we signed up everything went super smooth and very quick with fantastic communication along the way.
It feels great to know that by the time we are ready to retire everything will be paid off AND we will have still afforded to live a good life along the way. Thanks Scott and team!
