  • if you have any loans that you were working on in the V1 Loanapp, you will still have access to V1 to finalise and submit these applications to Scene. Your login to Loanapp V1 will only remain for another 3 months

  • the login url for V1 Loanapp is https://app.loanapp.com.au/scenefinance. This url will be replaced with a new url for the new loanapp (see below)

Two Loanapp Journeys

The Loanapp application functionality

The first page of Loanapp is the Setup Page, where you enter the high level details of the application; and also establish your Applicants:

There are a bunch of "Attributes" on the setup page that you should use the define the application type. It is also where you set the Doc Type (Full Doc or AltDoc).

This is important as it will conditionally change products, data, supporting documents requirements etc:

When you have setup your application, you will then be able to work through all the application detail on each of the pages in Loanapp, which you can get to by clicking the navigation button at the bottom of each page; or the menu on the left hand side:

Digital Services

Scene Finance has a couple of digital services in their Loanapp.

Digital VOI

When the Digital VOI is completed by your applicants, the report will be available for download in the Digital Widget, and also be sent to supporting documents for you to use in your submission. To download in the widget, click the details button:
