*In many cases a conditional approval will be provided immediately after submission. The time to receive a full unconditional approval will vary. Where only identification is required, an immediate response to our SMS to complete this could result in an unconditional approval within an hour. Unconditional approval could take longer if we need to seek clarifications from you, or if we need to undertake an inspection of your property. The speed of response is also dependant on the time a second applicant takes to confirm their application details, and for all applicants to complete the biometric ID check. Most metro postcodes and many regional postcodes are eligible. Ineligible postcodes are likely in remote or higher risk areas. You will be told early in the application form if your postcode is ineligible.
