      Hi there, Usually banks and lenders like to see at least 2 full financial years’ worth of financial documents. However your ability to a loan approval depends on a number of factors, so it’s worth contacting the lender and asking what your options are. They may be able to assess you without properly processing the loan application, therefor not impacting your credit rating.

      Hope this helps!

    Hey can you advise when the date mixed to its current 5.74%? Does this include the latest rate rise movement from the RBA? (It would be really handy to see a graph of the interest rate for each loan so it were easy to follow timing of movements to make comparisons easier)

    Hi team, just wondering about the redraw facility, which is available, and the offset account is not available. Does a redraw facility work as efficiently as the Offset account in terms of putting extra repayments to reduce the principal amount, therefore paying less interest? Thanks.

      Hi there,

      Offsets and redraws are very similar. The main difference is that some banks have a minimum amount you can redraw (eg $500).

      With unloan, the minimum amount you can redraw is $1. You will be initially set up with a default maximum ($20,000 per day limit), but you can increase this limit up to $100,000 per day if you wish.

      You can make redraw transactions through the app.

      Hope this helps!

    Do you need to refinance a loan to be eligible for this investment loan? …..or can you start a new loan with LVR of approx 72%

      Hey Kez,
      I’m afraid that at the moment Unloan doesn’t offer new loans, you must be refinancing from an existing loan.
      Thanks,
      Rebecca
