How a technology-led mortgage broker uses Maileroo to deliver epic service at scale

Tell us a bit about your business and what you do.

UNO Home Loans is an Australian mortgage broker that combines technology with epic service to make getting a home loan simpler, clearer and more efficient. Founded in 2016 by Vincent Turner, UNO works with customers across Australia to buy their first home, purchase their next home, secure investment properties, or refinance existing loans. We use technology to streamline the entire journey, while a nationwide team of experienced brokers provides the personalised support and guidance buyers need at every step.

Before using Maileroo, what challenges did you face with email delivery or marketing?

At UNO Home Loans, delivering reliable transactional emails is critical to how we support our nationwide team of brokers and serve our clients. Before switching to Maileroo, we relied on several well-known providers — including those bundled with hosting services — and constantly ran into limitations. While they could send email, they offered very little for engineers to work with, leaving us with unnecessary legwork and ongoing frustration.

What made you choose Maileroo over other platforms?

We eventually moved to a specialist email provider, but even then the experience wasn't what we hoped for — support was slow, the UX felt clunky, and we were repeatedly blocked despite sending legitimate traffic. Troubleshooting was time-consuming and documentation was limited. Discovering Maileroo was a turning point: from day one, the APIs and documentation were excellent, the user experience was intuitive, and, most importantly, the support was outstanding. As an Australian company ourselves, we appreciated the local connection, but what really mattered was that Maileroo just worked.

How easy was it to get started, and how does Maileroo fit into your workflow today?

Maileroo slotted neatly into our existing systems. Switching reduced the time we spent on email infrastructure and freed us up to focus on the more important parts of our business — supporting brokers and customers. The APIs are straightforward for our engineers, the platform is easy for the team to use, and the documentation makes implementation and ongoing maintenance simple.

What improvements or results have you noticed since switching?

The biggest improvement has been reliability and visibility. Maileroo's detailed audit logs and traceability make diagnosing issues incredibly simple compared to digging through raw logs elsewhere. We spend less time firefighting email problems and have far greater confidence that critical communications are delivered as expected.

Can you share a specific example of how Maileroo has helped your business?

By moving to Maileroo, we significantly reduced the internal effort required to keep transactional email running smoothly. Instead of wrestling with clunky interfaces, limited tooling and opaque delivery issues, our team can rely on Maileroo's clear logs, strong deliverability and responsive support. That shift has helped us keep communications flowing reliably so our brokers and customers can stay focused on progressing applications, approvals and settlements.

What's been the most surprising or unexpected benefit of using Maileroo?

The support has been a standout. From the beginning, Maileroo's team has been responsive, helpful and genuinely invested in making sure things work well for us. The platform feels thoughtfully designed and continuously improved, with features that often anticipate our needs rather than forcing workarounds.

Would you recommend Maileroo to others in your industry?

Absolutely. After more than a year on the platform, we've only seen Maileroo expand its capabilities and enhance the experience. The pricing is extremely reasonable, making it a strong choice whether you're starting a new project or looking to migrate away from a provider that isn't meeting expectations. If you want a dependable, well-supported, developer-friendly email delivery platform, we can confidently recommend giving Maileroo a try.
