The start of a new year is one of the best times for mortgage brokers to step back, reset, and make sure their lender relationships are fully aligned with their business goals.

At Tembo Financial, we work with brokers across Ontario who are doing great business — but many don’t always take full advantage of the rewards already available to them. That’s where our Volume Bonus Program comes in.

If you’ve ever wondered how the program really works, how tiers are structured, or how to maximize rewards without changing your workflow, this breakdown is for you.

Why Volume Bonus Programs Matter (More Than You Think)

Volume bonus programs aren’t just about hitting big numbers — they’re about rewarding consistency, loyalty, and smart deal placement.

For brokers, a well-structured bonus program can:

• • Add meaningful rewards on top of broker commissions

• Reward the business you’re already doing
• Support long-term planning and growth
• Strengthen lender relationships without added complexity

The challenge? Many brokers only have a surface-level understanding of how these programs work —  or don’t even know that it exists.

Understanding the Tembo Volume Bonus Program

Tembo’s Volume Bonus Program is designed to be simple, transparent, and broker-friendly.

At a high level, the program is built around:

• • Clear tier structures based on funded volumes or number of funded deals.
  • Predictable milestones, so you know where you stand and what needs to be done to hit the next tier.

• Rewards that scale as your business grows

Whether you’re submitting your first few deals with Tembo or already working with us regularly, the program is designed to recognize your effort and consistency — not just one-off spikes in volume.

A Common Broker Question: “Is This Only for High-Volume Brokers?”

Short answer: No.

The program is structured to support brokers at different stages:

• Newer level 2 agents who are looking to build solid lending partnerships before growing their business this year.
• Brokers with occasional private files but who want to see their % of privates grow.
• Established partners who do high volume private mortgages.

Understanding how our tiers work early in the year gives you a real advantage — especially when you can plan your submissions and start funding deals early.
