Deposit Guarantee

Is your deposit cash tied up?

When signing a contract to buy a home, a Deposit Guarantee1 can be used instead of a cash deposit.  A Deposit Guarantee is a quick and easy alternative when you have cash tied up in investments (such as shares or a term deposit) or when you're waiting to sell your existing property before you can get the cash for the 10% deposit on the new property.

If you're in the process of buying residential property, here's how you'll benefit:

Both short term and long term Deposit Guarantees are available:

  • Convenient and cost effective alternative to a cash deposit (up to 10% of the purchase price)
  • Keep your other cash investments intact until settlement
  • Enjoy fast turn-around
  • Short term Deposit Guarantees (no security required) are available for up to 6 months and useful when you don't have a deposit and are purchasing a property at auction.
  • Long term Deposit Guarantees -great when purchasing 'off the plan'- are available from terms of 6 to 48 months.
