Bendigo Bank customers to benefit from instant home loan tic of approval
Shen, 35 from Niddrie in Victoria said she used the instant home loan technology to purchase her home and found the ease, speed and convenience a compelling factor in her decision.
“I did the whole application within the time of my morning tea-break! I submitted my proof of identity and evidence of income all online. I particularly enjoyed the website that was able to securely link to my bank accounts to verify my bank transactional statements. Despite being an online service, the experience was personal and warm, there was no problem getting in contact with someone, the credit assessor and the manager were contactable via email and phone on the day,” said Tingting Shen.
