Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t have all the required documents?

If you’re missing a document or believe it’s already been provided to the bank, make a note of it on the Documents page of the application. All documentation must be uploaded or explained before submission.

What if I don’t have documents for co-borrowers or guarantors?

Contact your lender. They can invite those individuals to upload their own documents directly to the application.

Can someone else (like my accountant) upload documents for me?

Yes—contact your lender to give them access. They’ll receive a secure invite to upload documents on your behalf.

Why is some information already filled in?

If you’ve applied before or your lender started the application, some fields may pre-fill. Always review for accuracy before submitting.

Can I change details after starting the application?

Yes—most fields can be edited before submission. However, the loan type selected on the first screen cannot be changed. If you selected the wrong type (e.g., secured vs. unsecured), contact your lender to start a new application.
