HUB24 has delivered record growth during FY22 whilst remaining focussed on enhancing value for our clients, delivering on our strategic objectives and our purpose to empower better financial futures, together.

HUB24’s platform market share has grown from 3.9% to 5.1% (an increase of 31%) as a result of our continued commitment to delivering innovative products and solutions and customer service excellence.³
