Your ABN Bookkeeper has the important role of collating all of the information needed to request a quote and make an application for finance. Generally this information is readily accessible by your bookkeeper and if not, they will liaise with you to get the required information. Once documents are received from the financier, your Bookkeeper will liaise with you to get the documents signed and returned to us.

•  Current Financial Statements
• Current Tax Return and Notice of Assessment
• Signed Asset & Liability Statement
• Current Council Rates Notice (if a home owner)
• Signed Privacy Authority
• Copy of Drivers Licence or Passport AND Medicare Card or Credit Card for all signing/guaranteeing parties
• If a Trust entity – Trust Deed including beneficiary details
• If a Novated Lease – Copy of 2 payslips indicating car allowance or letter from employer confirming car allowance
   

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.

The solution is delivered by ABN Money electronically and thus our location is no barrier to you accessing the service.

Once we receive a quote request from your bookkeeper we will provide them with a written quote within 4 business hours of their request to us.

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.

Your Bookkeeper must be a member of ABN to access the service on your behalf. If your bookkeeper is not a member of ABN, they can visit ABN’s website here which will give them an excellent understanding of the many benefits they will receive as an ABN member and details of how to join. 

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

When we ask your Bookkeeper to send us your confidential information, we will recommend that your bookkeeper 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

Nothing will happen to your existing loans should you cease using the services of your Bookkeeper. Once the loan is established the term and conditions of your finance contract will continue. The service is only available to Bookkeepers who are members of ABN which means you would be unable to access the service in the future unless your bookkeeper is a member of ABN.
