Launched in May 2022, Unloan is the new kid on the block in the digital home loan space. Developed through the infrastructure of CommBank’s x15ventures, Unloan notes it is able to move at pace of a fintech while also benefiting from the back-end banking, payments and compliance services of Australia’s largest bank.

Unloan CEO Daniel Oertli said home loans should be simple to understand, easy to get and easier to live with.

“Unloan is purposely designed to give an incredibly low, simple rate,” Mr Oertli told Savings.com.au.

“No one likes paperwork, no one likes waiting for a long period of time, so Unloan has been built specifically to offer a great rate with a discount that increases every year, but also a very fast application process.”

Mr Oertli said Unloan is trying to make it easier for Australians to put more money into their back pockets.

“The application process is one of those linchpins - we want to constantly work on making it faster and faster,” he said.

“By making the application process completely digital, you are able to complete the application at your convenience, typically in as little as 10 minutes, and then one of Unloan’s lending specialists will decision the application.”

“Unloan tries to decision many of the loans within a day or two and then once you have been approved, you can accept the loan, then it takes typically three weeks for the refinancing to settle.”
