Changes to submission standards for a better customer experience


Key point:

  • From Monday 27 July 2020, we’re making some changes to our submission standards to require additional documents upfront, for a better customer experience.

From Monday 27 July 2020, we’re making some changes to our submission standards to enable more applications to achieve unconditional approval at ‘first touch’. These changes will see more of the required documentation become mandatory on submission, which will reduce the time taken to assess and approve loan applications.

You won’t be able to submit new applications until the required documents are attached.

The Submission Checklist in Loanapp and Short Form Application Submission Checklist will be updated so you can ensure you’ve met the new submission standards.

What’s changing?
