Switching your loan to us?

We may be able to verify your ID and income within our secure application – you'll need two types of ID if you’re new to St.George (Australian driver licence, Medicare card, Passport, Australian birth certificate).

You’ll have the option to securely auto-verify your income paid to other financial institutions.

Yes you can. Once you’ve started your application, you’ll get an email that includes your application number that you can use to retrieve your application when you’re ready.

Once you’ve submitted your application, you’ll no longer be able to make changes to it. However, you’ll still be able to upload your documents if required.

Please note that for joint refinance applications, if you’re the first applicant and have submitted your application, you won’t be able to retrieve it until the secondary applicant has joined.

Please reach out to your broker or lender to help you if you need to make changes to your application after you’ve submitted it. 

If you’re buying a home with someone else, the primary applicant* will complete the application on behalf of both applicants, so the co-applicant won’t need to join the application.

For refinance applications, the primary applicant* needs to complete their part of the online application first.

Once they’ve done this, an email will be sent to the coapplicant with a link to join and complete their part of the application.

Please make sure the co-applicant’s current email and mobile number is also correct, as the email invitation can only be sent once.

For additional support, you can get in touch with us from the ‘Need help’ box by selecting ‘Chat now’ to speak with one of our LiveChat agents between 8am-8pm Mon-Thu, 8am-6pm Fri and 9am-6pm (Sydney time), except for public holidays.
