Broker Testimonial:

Pro Finance Solutions

Just a shout out to the Resi team since their enhancements. I recently had a very difficult deal that only had 10 business days to settlement and we relied on Low Doc income verification as the client did not have their recent financials finalised.

The new BDM Jason worked wonders and went above and beyond to make the deal as smooth as possible. He actually managed to work with the funder (Pepper in this case) and managed to get me an exception on the valuation to be paid at settlement as the customer had a glitch with their credit card.

Your rates are great and the BDM is even more amazing. Looking forward to working on more deals with your firm.

All Good Finance

Thank You for your support! The power of RESI is real!

I am fairly new mortgage broker and have settled already 4 deals with 3 of your funders. My clients are happy that RESI that can tailor a loan for each of them!

In relation to credit, I get a feedback on each application by email or phone and they are really friendly and handle matters with care and understanding.

I have no hesitation to recommend RESI to my clients as well refer RESI to my broker associates who I come across.

Kind Regards,
Beth

At Vownet we have been rather busy the past few months/years. In June, we have managed to double our development staffing, so we are about to get even more productive.

Here is a list of some of the key projects we are working on at the moment, all planned for a release by September '19:

• Google contacts & tasks, Outlook mail, contacts & tasks integrations will be live this week.
• Consumer and commercial Asset Finance Tools with direct to lender lodgement functionality (Australia only). We already know that this will be by far the most advanced asset finance platform present in Australia.
• New, improved client portal, making it easier for clients to add their data, documents and to track their deal progress.
• New diversified tools and integrations that make it even easier to discuss/market other services with the client and refer to your referral partners straight from the deal.
• Switch/refix process that keeps the right product in the deal even when the product is varied after settlement and posts new loan details to commission platform where available.
• Updated tasks with task threads, events/meetings, critical tasks and automated task setting for fixed rate, interest only, intro rate and finance term expiry.
• New advanced marketing functionality with advanced template and list builder, improved automation and campaign marketing and extensive reporting.
• In addition to BankStatements integration, we are adding MogoPlus, CashDeck and Relie integrations for client expense and income verification.
• We are adding Android app to already used iOS phone application.
• Extensive event logging on deal, organisation and enterprise levels.

These are only some of the headline items, with many other improvements trickling weekly. Let me know if you wish to hear more or see a tour of these features as they are being built.

We will keep you posted when a new major feature is being ready to deploy.

The Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) have amended their membership renewal process which makes it easier to renew. This applies to those Broker's covered by Vow's Australian Credit Licence (ACL) and AFCA membership.

1. Brokers covered by Vow's AFCA Membership

What does this mean for you?

Being part of YBR's AFCA membership, we can now renew the membership on your behalf.

Aside from reducing your administration, there is also a slight discount to the cost of renewal ($55 excl GST) compared to renewing yourself.

What is the process?

We are working with AFCA to renew your membership ahead of the 31 July expiry.

The cost of the membership ($55) will be deducted from your commissions paid in August.

When we receive confirmation of renewal from AFCA we will provide further notification of this and a link to download the membership certificates.

Please note - unlike previous years, you are not required to send your membership certificate to the Onboarding Team.

2. Brokers not covered by the Vow AFCA Membership (either under own ACL or have not nominate Vow as licencee with AFCA)

Unfortunately, Vow is unable to administer on your behalf and you will need to renew your own membership ahead of the 31 July expiry.

As has been the case in previous years, it would be appreciated if you could forward the renewed membership certificate to onboarding@vow.com.au.

Please reach out to onboarding@vow.com.au have any queries.
