About Dylan
Nine Years of Banking Mastery
With over nine years in banking and finance, Dylan Shacallis brings a wealth of lending experience and a client-first approach to his role as Lending Specialist at Mankin Finance. His background includes time within Commonwealth Bank and Commonwealth Private as a Portfolio Banker, where he specialised in complex residential lending, private banking, and high-net-worth client solutions.
His career has spanned residential, commercial and institutional finance, giving him a comprehensive understanding of how lenders think, how decisions are made, and how to structure deals that get across the line. That insider knowledge is now entirely in your corner.
Dylan's path to Mankin Finance was shaped by nearly a decade working within Australia's major banks, including time in complex and high-net-worth lending. That background gave him a deep understanding of how lenders assess and structure deals. It is the kind of institutional experience and client-first commitment that fits naturally with the values Michael Mankin built the business around.
Today Dylan brings that institutional banking perspective to every client interaction, whether it's a first home buyer navigating their first application, an investor structuring a portfolio, or a business owner seeking commercial finance. His ability to read between the lines of a lender's assessment criteria and find the right solution is second to none.
"The most rewarding part of my job is helping people achieve something they've worked so hard for and sharing in that excitement with them."
