As from 1st July 2020 , financial institutions will now be on live reporting or positive credit reporting as reported in our previous newsletters.
Here is a brief summary of how the Comprehensive Credit Reporting/ Open Banking works.
The Positive reporting system will provide the following information to a lender :-
- List of all credit accounts such as real property mortgages, credit cards and auto loans
- Date the account was opened and closed
- Latest Limit
- Loan term and repayment type
- Repayment history for up to 24 monthsIt should be made known that if you are seeking credit via online applications or via direct contact with a bank, a credit check is conducted and your enquiry is recorded.
Therefore, it is important to disclose all information from the outset to enable a full assessment and not delay the process in getting that loan
Also, lenders are now requesting that borrowers present their bank statements by submitting on line to bankstatements.com.au, a secured site where applicants can authorize their finance broker to submit necessary bank statements to save time and streamline the process.
A professional finance broker should conduct a credit check prior to any finance submissions and address any issues on the file prior to the submission of any applications.
