What Crown Money Clients Say
Every review below is from a real Crown Money client following the Home Ownership Programme.
“Results have surpassed any of my wildest expectations.”
The process is so simple and has given me far more discipline and accountability for my expenses, which on a single income is a necessity.
“We are now planning our first family overseas holiday — all thanks to Crown Money.”
After making a massive dent in our home loan this past year, we highly recommend Craig and the team.
“We were on track to pay our mortgage off in another 20 years — now it's looking like we could get it done in 3!”
We've been with Crown Money for just over 12 months and it's been a real game-changer for us.
“I paid off in my first year as much as I had in the previous 3 years!”
I was amazed how the programme made me so disciplined and allowed me to actually enjoy life.

Jo & Luke
“Our journey started with Craig and Crown Money just over one year ago and has been financially the best decision we have made. We have been amazed at how quickly we have been paying off the principal of our home loan and wish we engaged Crown Money 8 years ago when we purchased our family home.
The initial transaction was fast and friendly and, to be honest, we were almost sceptical of the predicted timeframe of being debt-free. However, every month has proven the numbers to be true.
The financial goals we discussed at the start have also been well exceeded, to the point where we constantly discuss Crown's home loan structure to genuinely help our friends and family out. With our previous mortgage structure, it felt like it was never going to end and we were working week to week just to pay the interest off. The financial freedom we are now feeling, even with the small debt remaining, is something we thought we wouldn't be experiencing for at least 15+ years.
We are now able to set ourselves future goals beyond our mortgage and look forward to seeing how Craig and his team can assist in the coming years.”
Todd & Sarah
“We were a bit skeptical before joining this program at first and thought it was a little too good to be true. Needless to say, we are so grateful for the persistence of Craig and could not be happier to be part of the Crown Money family. We have never saved so much and we love having the much-needed support and guidance from Craig and the team.”
Matthew
“I would like to thank Mat, Kaylene and the whole team at Crown Money for the awesome job you do! The best financial decision I've ever made was having the good fortune to hear about you when I was organising my mortgage. I'm on track to pay off my mortgage now in 10 years instead of 30, just by being on the program, and I can't sing the praises of Crown Money enough. You guys should be the ones winning this award, not me!! Thanks for everything!”

The company behind the reviews
What is Crown Money?
Crown Money Management is an Australian mortgage reduction specialist founded in 2004. Utilising our proprietary Home Ownership Programme (HOP) and cash-diet system, we act as financial personal trainers to help Australians become debt-free in up to half the time.
Founded on a simple belief: banks shouldn't keep you in debt.
Founded in 2004 by Scott Parry, Crown Money was born out of a frustration with the traditional banking system. Scott saw that banks were designed to keep people in debt for as long as possible to maximise interest profits.
He developed a unique financial strategy that allows homeowners to use their existing income more effectively — attacking the principal of their mortgage while still maintaining their lifestyle.
Over the last two decades, Crown Money has evolved from a small boutique firm into one of Australia's most respected money management specialists, helping thousands of families save millions in interest and shave decades off their mortgages.
- Pioneered debt reduction strategies in Australia
- Developed proprietary wealth-tracking technology
- Built a team of dedicated financial coaches
