Mortgage Adviser
His mortgage and finance experience goes way back from banking and broking, to running his own company. It all adds up to almost 30 years in the business.
Those decades of experience made Matthew into the expert broker and adviser he is today. Because he knows the products, lenders, and options out there so well, he can explain the ins and outs to almost anyone. He loves helping people into their first home, or helping them out of a sticky financial situation.
Matthew believes in plain English explanations and honest, straightforward advice. That’s why he’s such a great fit for Float.

Financial Adviser
When your clients seek you out to ask for advice years later, you know you’re doing something right. That’s what inspired Jason to start Float Mortgages and Insurance after decades in banking – he wanted to be able to help clients long term, in all stages of their financial lives.
Jason started work at BNZ at the tender age of 17, and stayed for 14 years, working in accounts, personal banking, lending, and eventually senior branch management. He ended up as Head of Distribution (Northern Region) for New Zealands Westpac’s Life Insurance division after a short stint in Australia. After all this experience, he wanted to broaden his horizons, offer clients a wider range of products, and use all his financial advisory skills in one place. And that’s exactly what he does at Float.
He’s an expert when it comes to the huge range of loans and lender options, but he’s also all about that personal touch. He gets to know his clients and their finances, and they trust him to find the best mortgage option and ‘Plan B’ insurance to make sure his client’s most important things are protected.

Financial Adviser
After spending over a decade in banking, Naylon realised that the impersonal, sales-focused approach wasn’t for him. He founded Float because he wanted to focus on building relationships and really looking after his clients.
Naylon’s banking experience started with a part-time teller job at BNZ that slotted in around his competitive swimming career. When the swimming ended, the job continued, and he spent 12 years building his skillset in business and commercial banking. He was shoulder-tapped to move to HSBC as a corporate manager, working with a range of commercial clients.
After that experience, he realised that commercial clients were seeking him out – they wanted his insight, not the bank’s – and he decided to start his own mortgage broking business.
At Float, Naylon is a Financial Adviser, working with clients in all areas and all financial situations. He loves the way working independently lets him take care of people on a personal level – he’s not forced to put people into categories or send them off to other experts like he was in banking. He’s proud of the way the Float team looks after people, builds strong relationships with clients, and keeps them coming back year after year.
