E-conveyancing fintech signs deal with Crew Financial

Brokers with the aviation specialist firm now have access to Settle Easy’s conveyancing platform, under a new partnership.

Settle Easy, a Melbourne-based electronic conveyancing (e-conveyancing) fintech, has established an agreement with the aviation industry-centred broker firm Crew Financial, with the former confirming the arrangement late last week. 

Under the partnership, brokers under Crew Financial will be able to utilise Settle Easy’s e-conveyancing platform for their customers. 

As confirmed to The Adviser, Crew Financial’s access to the fintech’s platform commenced last Friday (26 November).

Settle Easy declared the arrangement with Crew Financial is one that “makes good sense of both sides of the equation”, with brokers to provide advice to customers and the fintech to overlook the legal requirements of transactions in the lead up to settlement.

Speaking on the partnership, Settle Easy chief executive Sam Almaliki commented: “Buying a home can be quite an experience. It takes time, effort and determination. 

“But when you work with businesses who have their customer’s best interests at the core of everything they do, that’s when the magic happens.”

Crew Financial senior lending adviser Rick Garner added: “Everyone at Crew Financial lives and breathes our tagline ‘we love to fly... but nothing beats coming home’ which is why we’re so excited to partner with Settle Easy. 

“We love helping our customers across the airline industry on their journey to home ownership. Partnering with Australia’s online conveyancing experts will make this adventure so much easier.”

Founded in 2018, Settle Easy aimed to simplify and streamline the conveyancing process via technology. 

It partnered with AI-focused mortgage broking platform Effi in October last year. 

More recently, Settle Easy set up a deal with national real estate industry body, Real Estate Industry Partners in June.

Its new partnership with Crew Financial is the latest in a series of recent developments in digital conveyancing across Australia.

Late last month, National Australia Bank (NAB) was confirmed to have been named to the electronic lodgement network of e-conveyancing body Sympli. 

Further, a ministerial directions statement published by Australian Registrars’ National Electronic Conveyancing Council (ARNECC) in early November revealed that interoperability reforms were on track to begin from early next year
