Changes to our Asset Finance Terms and Conditions 

  • We have made some changes to our Asset Finance Terms and Conditions to reflect forthcoming changes to the 'Unfair Contract Terms Legislation'. 

    From 9 November 2023, customers with an existing Master Agreement will be requested to sign a one-off Master Agreement - Variation to Terms and Conditions letter, acknowledging they consent to the changes to the Asset Finance Terms and Conditions, prior to funding their next drawdown. 

    Action required from 9 November 2023:

    • Where brokers prepare drawdown documents you will need to provide the one-off Master Agreement - Variation to Terms and Conditions letter to the customer, along with the document pack produced from AlphaTM, for execution, at the time of their next drawdown.
    • Where CBA prepares drawdown documents we will send the one-off Master Agreement - Variation to Terms and Conditions letter with the documentation pack to be executed by the customer, at the time of their next drawdown.
    • The one-off Master Agreement - Variation to Terms and Conditions letter is available from the Broker Resources, Asset Finance, Terms and Conditions section of this website.

    It will be mandatory to provide an executed Master Agreement - Variation to Terms and Conditions letter for the first drawdown on or after 9 November 2023 under an existing Master Agreement.

    • FY 2022 financial (which must be provided), with at least one of the following:
      • Draft accountant prepared FY 2023 financials
      • Management accounts

Asset Finance ABCD policy update

  • Effective from 28 August 2023, the following key changes have been made to the Asset Finance ABCD policy to speed up and simplify the process and allow more transactions to be assessed via the ABCD pathways:

    • Asset Finance BAS pathway exposure limit has been increased from maximum aggregate commercial lending exposure of less than $1m to less than $1.5m
    • New Commercial Customer with existing home loan pathway has been extended to now also include new and used trucks and trailers, agricultural, earthmoving and construction, and materials handling assets. 
    • Existing Commercial Customer pathway now allows trucks and trailers, agricultural, earthmoving and construction, and materials handling assets to be financed outside of ATO effective life where additional valuation and inspection requirements have been met.
    • Replacement pathway. Agreements originally written in a sole trader name can now be replaced with an agreement in a company name subject to the original sole trader providing a guarantee and there has been no change to the nature of the business or source of income.
    • Buses can now be financed up to ATO effective life.

    Other policy changes effective from 28 August 2023

    ABCD BAS Industry exclusion list has been updated and now includes Agriculture, Franchising, Hospitals, Childcare Services, Nursing Homes, Accommodation for the Aged, Residential and Non-Residential Care Services, Property Developers, Pharmaceutical and Toiletry Wholesaling, Food Wholesaling, Food Retailors, Religious Organisations and Not for Profit Organisations. Please refer to your Business Development Executive for specific exclusions.

    For additional information, please contact your Business Development Executive.

    Alpha has also been updated to reflect these changes.
