  • Works for

    • Simple Refix, same loan structure

    Does not work for

    • Restructure

    If your client is within 60 days of refix, they should be able to access their offered rates via their mobile app.

    This method is by far the best.

    1. Ask the client to sign your declaration, if they haven’t done already. If you did their original lending, you may not need this.

    2. Ask the client to go on online banking and read out the rates offered. Discuss with the client and come to an agreement.

    3. The client confirms via the app

    4. Send the client an email outlining why you recommended the option you decided on together. Ask them to reply to this saying that they agree with your assessment and recommendation.

    5. Send an email to ‘wellingtonbrokerteam@co-operativebank.co.nz’ (email template included in link), with the following items included.

    • Signed Declaration dated within the last 30 days

    • Identifying info for the client (Full name, Customer number or loan number)

    • Copy of email trail with client

    Your commission will be loaded from there.
