Our Story

Two generations of enterprise, from the frontier of colonial Victoria to the towers of Collins Street.

September 1842

The Arrival

Duncan Alexander McIntyre arrived in Portland, Victoria from Glencoe, Scotland. The City of Melbourne was only seven years old. A new land, a new beginning — the foundations of a family legacy were laid in the rugged frontier of colonial Australia.

1842 — 1960s

Generations of Enterprise

Across four generations, the McIntyre family established themselves across pastoral lands, commerce, and community. Each generation carried forward the founding spirit of ambition, resilience, and stewardship of the land.

The Foundation

A New Chapter

Alex McIntyre built a diversified portfolio spanning property development, equine estates, and commercial ventures across Melbourne's western growth corridor — establishing the family office that would become the Duncan McIntyre Group.

Today

Today, the second generation is taking the Group further than ever. Led from 2 Collins Street in the heart of Melbourne, we are scaling high-growth consumer finance businesses through Faster Financial — with over 20,000 loans originated and a $10M+ lending book — while expanding our property ventures across 278 hectares of strategically positioned land in Melbourne's western corridor. What began with a single vision has become a multi-disciplinary family office operating at the intersection of property, capital, and technology — always building, always moving forward.
