Benefits of the changes include a reporting function for outstanding items to assist in quality improvement, improving loan document submission requirements to assist brokers in a faster time to a loan outcome, a communication mechanism by electronic means between ApplyOnline systems, as opposed to separate emails, and delivering a consistent message to brokers about the required information.
The second phase of the rollout will occur on Tuesday, 28 January, and involves accredited brokers.

All brokers involved will receive detailed information about the changes before implementation of the changes, including an FAQ document and a step-by-step process guide.
