The Bookkeeper has the important role of collating all of the information needed to request a quote and make an application for finance for your clients. Generally this information is readily accessible by you and if not, you will liaise with your client to get the required information. Once documents are received from the financier, you will liaise with your client to arrange signing of the documents and returning to us.

ABN Money operates from the business premises of Australian Bookkeepers Network at  3^rd floor, Plaza Chambers, 15 Dennis Road Springwood, Qld 4127.

Yes. This is of paramount importance to ABN Money as it no doubt is to you.

When we ask you to send us your confidential information, we will recommend that you do so through our Bookkeeper-Client Connect file transfer facility. This is a secure 128-bit encrypted channel which is protected by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

The information we supply to you will also typically travel using Bookkeeper-Client Connect.

This will depend on a few items including the type of equipment being financed and the financier. Once your application is received we will advise you of an expected settlement date. Importantly, settlement can take place once signed documents have been electronically returned to us. While we require the original signed documents to be forwarded to us by mail, this will not hold up settlement. 

The service is available exclusively to ABN members and their clients.   If you are not a member of ABN, you can visit ABN’s website here which will give you an excellent understanding of the many benefits you will receive as an ABN member and details of how to join. 

There is no application fee payable to ABN to use the service.   It should be noted that finance companies will commonly impose document preparation fees and application fees on the successful approval of finance, however, these will be fully outlined in the "no obligation" quote that you will receive.

We have access to a wide range of financiers which ensures a competitive interest rate on all applications.

Once we receive a quote request form from you we will provide you with a written quote within 4 business hours.
