Assessing your personal circumstances
Once we have collected your personal details and received the documentation requested, we are able to work through and make an initial assessment of your proposed needs and objectives, whilst also taking into consideration various intricacies and requirements that your circumstances require. Everyone has their own unique requirements and objectives that we must consider when providing credit assistance, and we do this from the start to ensure we’re working towards your desired goal.

We keep you up to date with the progress and approval of your application every step of the way, ensuring that throughout the process you’re always informed of your application’s progress.
Step 5
Approval and loan documentation
At the time that your approval is issued, you will be the first to know! We will contact you to provide the good news, and will then also communicate the same with your conveyancer or legal representative (if applicable) and any selling agent (for a property purchase) or dealer (for motor vehicle or other goods being purchased). Shortly after the approval is issued, we will receive your loan documents and be in contact again to arrange the most suitable time and means for reviewing and executing these together. Where possible, we prefer to do this in person, however in instances where this is not practical, we have a number of remote options to ensure that you’re thoroughly understanding of the agreement you are entering into. In some instances, we may recommend (or a lender may require) you to obtain independent legal advice regarding the nature of the documents, just as an added measure of understanding.
Step 6
Settlement day
Once your loan documents are executed and returned to your respective institution, we will continue to follow up to ensure that your file is ready to settle within the desired timeframe. We will seek confirmation of Insurance (via a Certificate of Currency) for any goods being secured by your loan facility (real estate property, motor vehicle or other physical asset) from you and provide these details to your lender, along with any other detail they may require (such as a dealer invoice or an updated refinance statement).
Once settlement occurs, we will be in touch to confirm this as having been completed and to provide you with your new account particulars including ensuring that you have your direct debits and other features set up correctly. We also insist on us being your first point of contact with any future queries regarding your loan and provide ongoing support in the future as your trusted advisor when you need us.
