ANZ Banking Group is bankrolling former Domain boss Antony Catalano’s new real estate digital media play, in a bid to get more mortgages flowing in to the bank’s $700 billion-odd loanbook.

Street Talk can reveal ANZ is spending about $50 million on a material stake in View Media Group, the property technology company Catalano and business partner Alex Waislitz launched last year and that’s also backed by Seven West Media.
