What is BizExpress?

  • BizExpress is a faster way for businesses to apply for business loans and finance
  • It uses information either we already hold about you or you supply to streamline and speed up your application process
  • As an eligible business, you could apply via BizExpress and receive a decision in 24 hours on BetterBusiness Loan or Business Overdraft applications

How it could work

Vanessa owns a marketing agency. Her business has been operating for over 6 months. Her business has acquired a number of large, new clients, so now she needs to hire contractors to deliver the work. Vanessa decides to take out a BetterBusiness Loan to cover her cash flow gap.

Vanessa requests a call back from her CommBank Business Lending Specialist, Jamal, who calls her back and runs through a BizExpress application over the phone. It takes about 15 minutes and at the end of the phonecall, Jamal confirms that Vanessa can borrow the amount she wants. Jamal sends Vanessa her loan documents to sign and she signs them on the spot, electronically.

Within a few days of signing her documents, Vanessa has the funds in her account and is able to start hiring contractors to help her deliver work for her new clients.
