3 Introduction The Commonwealth Bank Online Home Loan Application functionality provides a facility for brokers to submit applications electronically via internal software that is used within your Broker Head Group. One of the main benefits of submitting online is that you will receive a conditional decision within minutes. The aim of this guide is to explain the home loan process with the online system. It is important to note that while the online process provides an alternative means of data capture, the underlying information requirements of the Bank are the same. The system will actually enforce business rules to ensure that all required information is captured, and that certain requests are prohibited. It is important that you input information accurately to eliminate rework in the future. Talent & Development Page 3 July 2006

12 FAQs What are the benefits to me applying online? You will enjoy preferential treatment in terms of processing which means you will get a faster decision than if you were to submit manually. Re-entry of information is also minimised as the system is designed to prepopulate as much information as possible (e.g. your agent details, assets which are also securities, liabilities against securities) Why does CBA ask for information upfront not relating to initial credit decision such as title details of security property or information required for settlement? This information is required to continue processing the application through to settlement, which is when commission is paid. While it may appear onerous upfront, you will benefit by not having to go back to your customer for extra information after conditional approval and CBA can process the complete application through to settlement quicker, and with less hassles to you. How do I submit supporting documentation? Identify which supporting documents you need to provide. Download from the Colonial Adviser Website (excluding FHOGS applications) along with the Cover page or from your internal system. On the Third Party Home Loan Application Coversheet Checklist tick off the forms you are faxing, as well as noting BRN advised with the first decision (or Online Application number if you have not received a BRN). This will enable the supporting documentation to be matched to the online application. Fax them to the Bank (refer Contacts section for relevant online fax numbers). Who can I call if I have problems with the application process? It depends on the nature of the question. Refer to the Contacts section of this document. How do I complete an application for a top up to an existing Commonwealth Bank Home Loan or an increase to an existing Commonwealth Bank Line of Credit Limit? You should enter the amount of the increase as the proposed loan amount and the term as the remaining term. In addition you should record the existing loan details in the liabilities section, record the details of these loans when asked for details of existing loans secured by this property and select Top Up as an Extra Feature.
