Signing your home loan contract online

Your documents are encrypted, so they can’t be read by anyone except us. We keep a copy of everything, and we’ve also added an extra layer of security, so you’ll need email access and an SMS code to view your documents.

Due to state laws, the Mortgage Form can’t be signed online if any of the properties on the application are in ACT, NT, TAS or WA. Please print, sign and post all your Mortgage Forms back to us instead.

When you get your loan documents, we'll let you know if you need to print and sign the Mortgage Form and provide instructions on how to do it.

We’re working towards a paperless experience, but right now state government laws mean that this document can't be signed online – yet.

In DocuSign^®, we’ve created instructions on how to complete the Mortgage Form and provided a reply-paid label that you can print and stick to the front of an envelope.

You should receive an email from DocuSign® after your home loan has been approved. Only one person can sign at a time – so if there’s more than one person on the application you’ll receive an email when it’s your turn to sign.

Make sure to check:

• Your email address is up to date
• Log into our Home Loan Application Tracker through your email (if you haven’t received an application tracker email, contact your Home Lending Specialist, Mobile Lending Manager or Broker)
• Your junk or spam folders (if it’s a work address, it might be blocked)
• If you have a DocuSign^® account and opted out of notifications, check your settings in ‘My preferences’.

No, they don't need to match. In DocuSign^® you can choose to draw your own signature or use a signature template – there’s no difference.

You’ll be able to use DocuSign^® straight away when you click the link to your documents in the email you receive. We recommend using it on your tablet or computer.

During the application process, you’ll already have provided the ID documents required.

This means you won’t need to worry about providing any other forms of ID when you’re signing online.

If you've applied with someone else, only one person can sign at a time. After the first person signs, the next person receives an email and so on.

It’s important to remember that if you’re the first person to sign, you’ll need to make sure to fill out the ‘Borrower’s Authority and Instructions’ and ‘Making payments to my home loan’ forms.

If you receive your home loan documents through DocuSign^®, you need to sign them online (this excludes all Mortgage Forms if any of the properties on the application are in ACT, NT, TAS or WA).

If you’d like to switch to paper documents, your Lender or Broker can organise this for you. Just be mindful that paper documents will take longer to receive.

It's important to download a copy of your documents after you've signed. We'll prompt you to do this when you click 'Finish' in DocuSign^®.

You have 90 days to download a copy of your documents from DocuSign^®. After that, the email link to view your documents will expire, but you can always contact us to get a copy.

You can, but we recommend using a tablet or computer as it’s easier to read and sign your documents.
