When it comes to broking, we know that providing great customer service matters. We understand what you need to help your clients, so we’ve designed a solution-focused offering to equip you with the tools, service and fast support you need to do your best work. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of managing customer relationships amid COVID-19 lockdowns, or simply want to provide a more seamless service, our support for brokers is better than ever. 

“We’re dedicated to setting our broker partners up for success when it comes to building and maintaining great customer relationships. At Virgin Money, we’ve optimised our processes and services to offer a seamless experience that benefits both brokers and customers now and in the long term,” says Christian York, Virgin Money Australia’s Head of Distribution.

1. Pricing tools at your fingertips

We know your customers want answers, fast. Efficient service is at the core of delivering great customer service, so we’ve made improvements to our Secure Broker Portal, which includes an enhanced pricing request tool. This features an automated first decision for all new lending pricing requests, plus retention pricing for all existing customer requests. It’s easy to navigate and makes the pricing process a simple and efficient task.

2. Streamlined documentation

Not able to meet your customers face-to-face? No problem. Getting documents signed quickly and accurately can be tricky when you’re in the throes of a Covid lockdown or working with customers interstate. To make things easier, your customers can get identified remotely using our remote identification process; which includes the ability to accept electronic signatures on home loan application forms, providing it matches signature on identification documents. The digital acceptance of home loan documents provides customers with the opportunity to electronically receive and sign their Virgin Money home loan documents anywhere, anytime. 

3. Dedicated credit coach

Good customer service means understanding their needs – and no two customers are exactly the same. Have a burning question about a customer’s loan? You’ll have direct access to a dedicated credit coach who’ll be available to answer your queries and to help with complex scenarios, so you can press on with delivering the best results for your customers. 

4. Around the clock support

Our secure online portal makes it a breeze to access, track and manage your customers’ applications. In addition, it offers stepped up self-service at the click of a button. We’re taking support further with an expanded team who you can count on. From local dedicated BDMs who are experienced in your local market and additional Relationship Managers, or your individual experienced state manager, we’re here to help. 

5. Loan status tracking

We’ve made improvements to our Loan Status Tracking tool, to help you save time and keep your customers informed every step of the way. With 24/7 access, this tool allows you to monitor the status of your customers’ applications, including milestone email notifications from lodgment to settlement. We also have daily status email updates available for brokers who have multiple lending applications in progress, making it easier than ever to do business with us. 

6. Access to competitive rates and special offers

We understand delivering great service means putting your clients’ interests front and center throughout the home loan process. One key part of this is offering ways to keep more money in their back pocket.

Whether your client is in the market for a first home, upgrading to a bigger one, or looking to save interest on a current loan; our BDMs are here to help you create better customer relationships.
