Secure Statements uses information related to your bank account to make an instant lending decision by verifying the information you told us is correct such as your income or your rent or mortgage payments. The connection to your bank is managed by Yodlee, a global leader in banking technology with over 30 million users worldwide. Many of Australia's leading financial institutions use Yodlee technology to deliver online services because of their exceptional credentials in bank-level security which is audited and accredited by the US government.

Traditionally this information is provided by you by faxing or emailing a copy of your pay-slip and bank statement. By using Secure Statements we reduce the burden on you and reduce the time it takes for us to give you a decision – which is now instant, in seconds!

Once entered, any login and financial institution details you give us are immediately encrypted by Yodlee using multi-layered hardware and software encryption.

Secure Statements has identified online banking access as the quickest and easiest method to get access to your banking information. In order to access this information, it is necessary that you use your username, password, and if applicable any security questions, associated with your online banking account.
When we analyse your statement information, we’re trying to verify that what you told us in relation to your application is true and correct. As a responsible lender, we look to make sure your income or salary, and rent or mortgage payments looks spot on. We also check to make sure you can afford the weekly payments of this new proposed finance. These are the same things we calculated using your pay-slip and bank statements in the past, but now it is online so much faster and is an easier process.
