Unloan App Terms

Terms and Conditions for use of the Unloan App

1 Introducing the Unloan App

The Unloan App is designed for compatible web browsers, or compatible Apple devices and Android devices. The ‘Unloan App’ or ‘App’ refers to the Unloan web App accessible at ‘app.unloan.com.au’.  

While the Unloan iOS and Unloan Android Apps may not yet be available, a reference to the ‘Unloan App’ or ‘App’ will also, if and when made available on the respective official App stores, refer to Unloan iOS or Unloan Android Apps downloaded from the applicable App store and accessed locally on your device. If we need to distinguish between the Unloan iOS / Android mobile applications and the Unloan web application, we'll do so in our terms by referring to either "Unloan web App" or "Unloan mobile App" as appropriate.

In order to use the Unloan App you will need to register using a valid email address and/or mobile phone number. Features of the Unloan App may not be available to some customers who have an overseas telecommunications provider.  

You can manage your existing Unloan product in the Unloan App, and you can apply for an Unloan product in the Unloan web App. Where funds are available, you can use the Unloan App to make payments to others using their Australian BSB and account number.

These Unloan App Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Unloan App, together with the terms and conditions of your accounts used in connection with the Unloan App. To avoid doubt, these App Terms and Conditions are separate from the Unloan product terms and conditions, which will be made available separately if applicable.

In this document, "we", "us", "our", or “Unloan” means Unloan, a division of Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124.

1.1 Your contract with us

By entering your email and registering for the Unloan App, you confirm that you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (Terms and Conditions), including that you agree to receive loan documents electronically in accordance with clause 2.2 of these Terms and Conditions (Receiving your loan documents electronically). If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms and Conditions you should not access the Unloan App and cease using it (including, by uninstalling it) immediately.

1.2 Accessing Unloan

To use the Unloan App, you will need to:

  • be an individual;
  • confirm that you are aged 18 years or over; and

  • you will not use another person’s email address, identity or contact details to register for the Unloan App;
  • you will not sell, transfer, or assign any rights you have in relation to the App, including sharing your access or information from the App with any other person;
  • you will comply with any product instructions or guidelines provided by or on behalf of Unloan;
  • with the exception of your liability for Redraw Transactions, which is covered in our home loan terms and conditions:
    - you are solely responsible for all activities that occur using your password (including where your fingerprint is used as your password), secure codes and login information, whether or not you authorise the activity;
    - you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, any secure codes and login information for restricting access to the device on which the App is used or installed;
  • we will not be liable for any loss or damage that you or any third party suffer, howsoever caused, as a result of your failure to comply with your obligations in these Terms and Conditions;
  • we may reject the use of any email address or phone number to register for the Unloan App where we reasonably believe it necessary to protect your or our security; and
  • we may reject the use of your fingerprint or facial image (through facial recognition identification) where we reasonably believe it necessary to protect your or our security.

1.3 Acceptable Use Policy

You may not use the App to engage in conduct that, in our opinion:

  • is unlawful;
  • interferes with any other person’s access to the Unloan App;
  • is defamatory, harassing or threatening to any person;
  • promotes or encourages physical or mental harm of any person;
  • promotes violence against any person; or
  • threatens or promotes terrorism or money laundering.

In the event that you fail to comply with our Acceptable Use Policy as detailed above, Unloan may without notice and immediately or at any time:

  • refuse to process or complete any transaction or dealing of yours; and/or
  • suspend or discontinue your access to the App.

1.4 Provision of App and Unloan Services

The Unloan Services that we (or our sub-contractors) provide to you via the App consist of providing information about Unloan products and providing the ability to apply for and manage Unloan products.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Conditions, Unloan will provide the following to you:

  • access to the Unloan App; and
  • the Unloan Services.

The Unloan home loan product is designed with use of the Unloan App in mind.  However, if we suspend or terminate the Unloan App in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, or if you choose to no longer use the Unloan App, please contact us through the details set out in clause 17.20 (Contact), and we can discuss with you alternative means of providing you with applicable services and functionality related to your loan, including statements and notices, and access to redraw if applicable to your loan.

2 Applying in the Unloan Web App

When applying for an Unloan product, you will need to use the Unloan web App and the additional terms and conditions of this clause will apply.

2.1 Co-borrowers

When you choose to borrow money with other people you all become co-borrowers. Before you become a co-borrower, you should understand that each borrower is jointly and severally liable. This means:

  • We can require you to pay the full amount of loan repayments and any outstanding debt, for example if the other borrower(s) can’t or won’t pay; and/or
  • Failure to pay may result in debt collection, adverse credit rating and sale of assets.

When applying for an Unloan product using the Unloan web App, each person seeking to co-borrow with another person will be presented with policies and consents on their separate account using the web App.   However, if personal information or other confidential information is provided through your App about another person (including a potential co-borrower), you confirm you have their permission to do so.

2.2 Receiving your loan documents electronically

If you apply for an Unloan product in the web App, we will send information related to your application and your loan electronically. By commencing an application, you agree to receive all loan documents electronically, including your pre-contractual statement, information statement, loan contract, mortgage documents and any direct debit documents (Documents). If we provide these Documents electronically, you agree and acknowledge that paper copies won’t be provided, you are required to save the Documents or you can request a copy separately; and you will need to regularly check for electronic communications from us about your Documents.

You may withdraw consent to receive Documents electronically at any time by contacting us at [email protected] or at 1300 630 000 to arrange a call back.

Unless otherwise stated in these Terms and Conditions, and to the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for the acts and omissions of all users of or individuals who otherwise access your login, account or related Unloan documentation, including any person you authorise to act for you. With the exception of your liability for Redraw Transactions, which is covered in our home loan terms and conditions, all communications and acceptances, including electronically signed documents, received by us through the Unloan web App from any person logged into the Unloan web App using your email address and secure code are deemed to be authorised by you unless you can prove that you did not authorise the person and that:

  • without your knowledge your device has been taken over by use of malware despite you having up to date antivirus, antimalware and firewall software installed on your device; and/or
  • the person gained access to your Unloan account without your approval despite you taking all reasonable precautions to prevent such access; and you did not unreasonably delay in reporting to us the compromise or loss of your device, or that the security of a secure code or method of obtaining a secure code has been breached.

3 Communications with you

We may send you notifications via a push notification service or other reminder mechanism, via email, or via SMS.

Where our App is available for download on devices, push notifications or alerts will be sent to any compatible Apple or Android device on which (a) you have installed the Unloan App, (b) you have push notifications enabled, and (c) where the device is associated with your mobile number (including for wearables if that becomes an option). If you have an Apple device, you would be able to enable or disable notifications for this App via the Notifications tab in your device Settings. If you have an Android device, you would be able to turn notifications for this App on or off via Settings within this App.

Some notifications may also be received by your joint account holder(s), those with whom you are jointly applying for an Unloan product and others who have authority to operate on your account who have registered for the Unloan App. By agreeing to receive notifications, you acknowledge that notifications may also be received by your joint account holder(s), those with whom you are jointly applying for an Unloan product, or others with authority to operate on your account who have registered for the Unloan App.

Depending on your device settings, notifications may be seen by other people (including unauthorised persons) who are able to see your device or any linked peripheral devices (for example, a smart watch). Please check the notifications settings on all your devices to ensure the privacy and notifications settings are appropriate for your use.

Notifications may include:

  • Secure code information;
  • Account alerts (e.g. balance, payments due, incoming payments, transaction notifications);
  • Security and service alerts;
  • Alerts when new versions or upgrades are available;
  • Details of transactions and spend; and/or
  • Messages from our staff.

You agree to receive notifications and acknowledge that their delivery may be subject to the quality of your connection and the accuracy of the contact details you have provided. It is your responsibility to check any notification information before acting on it. All notifications will be sent to you and managed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to suspend, change or discontinue notifications at any time for our legitimate business purposes, including for security purposes or where our notifications do not align with our operational requirements for the App. Notifications do not affect your obligation to comply with the terms applicable to the products and services you use via the Unloan App.

As a result of downloading the Unloan App, we may from time to time send you messages through emails, text messages, push notifications, or within the notifications section inside the Unloan App if available, that include commercial electronic messages advertising, promoting or offering new or existing products, services or investments.  

You can unsubscribe from such messages by:

  • emailing us at [email protected]; or
  • using the unsubscribe option or link or otherwise following instructions we provide in communications to you.

    You may also consider adjusting your preferences in the Unloan App if that option is available. Where you unsubscribe to our electronic commercial messages, please note that any unsubscribe options apply to Unloan messages only (and not to other messages that may be provided by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) for other CBA brands, products or services).

4 Using fingerprint functionality

If we make the App available to you to download on your device and you have the Unloan App installed on a device that has compatible fingerprint functionality available, you may be able to turn on fingerprint access for the Unloan App. Turning on fingerprint access for the Unloan App means that you can access the App using your fingerprint instead of entering a secure code. For certain transactions on the Unloan App you may be prompted to enter a secure code as an additional security measure.

You must not turn on fingerprint access for the Unloan App if you have any fingerprints stored on any device other than your own.  If, after turning on fingerprint access, you allow other people to use their fingerprints on your device, you must first turn off fingerprint access for the Unloan App.

If you do allow anyone else’s fingerprints to be stored on your device (despite this being against these Terms and Conditions):

  • they’ll be able to access your accounts and considered authorised to do so; and
  • to the extent permitted by law, you will be responsible for their transactions.

If you, or someone else, changes the fingerprint settings on your device, as a security measure, fingerprint access may be disabled for the Unloan App and you will be prompted to enter a secure code to log on to the Unloan App. Only re-enable fingerprint access if you are sure the changes made to your fingerprint settings on your device were made by you.

Fingerprint functionality is technology you may choose to use if it is available on your device and has been enabled by you on your device. Fingerprint functionality is provided by third parties (like Apple) and accordingly, to the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible:

  • for any malfunction in fingerprint functionality;
  • if those third parties make any changes to their fingerprint technology that impacts the way you access the App.

You will still be able to access the Unloan App using a secure code.

If you choose to use fingerprint access for the Unloan App, you will still need access to your email address and mobile phone number to receive secure codes. You must protect your email address and mobile phone number in the manner outlined in these Terms and Conditions.

Fingerprint functionality is not available when accessing the Unloan App in a web browser.

5 Using facial recognition

If we make the App available to you to download on your device and if you have the Unloan App installed on a device that has compatible facial recognition available, you may be able to turn on facial recognition access for the Unloan App. Turning on facial recognition for the Unloan App means that you can access the App using facial recognition instead entering a secure code. For certain transactions on the Unloan App you may be prompted to enter a secure code as an additional security measure.

You must not turn on facial recognition access for the Unloan App if the facial image stored on your phone is not your own. If, after turning on facial recognition, you allow other people to store their face on your device, you must first turn off facial recognition access for the Unloan App.

If you do allow anyone else’s face to be stored on your device (despite this being against these Terms and Conditions):

  • they’ll be able to access your accounts and considered authorised to do so; and
  • to the extent permitted by law, you will be responsible for their transactions.

If you, or someone else, changes the facial recognition settings on your device, as a security measure, facial recognition may be disabled for the Unloan App and you will be prompted to enter a secure code to log on to the Unloan App. Only re-enable facial recognition if you are sure the changes made to your facial recognition settings on your device were made by you.

Facial recognition is technology you may choose to use if it is available on your device and has been enabled by you on your device. Facial recognition technology is provided by third parties (such as Apple) and accordingly, to the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible:

  • for any malfunction in facial recognition;
  • if those third parties make any changes to their facial recognition technology that impact the way you access the App.

You will still be able to access the Unloan App using a secure code.

If you choose to use facial recognition access for the Unloan App, you will still need access to your email address and mobile phone number to receive secure codes. You must protect your email address and mobile phone number in the manner outlined in these Terms and Conditions.

Facial recognition is not available when accessing the Unloan App in a web browser.

6 Using VoIP

If you use a device or program that uses Voice over Internet Protocol or ‘VoIP’, we urge you to take steps to adequately confirm the security of your device. The systems used by your VoIP provider and/or telephone calls made using your VoIP service may not be secure, and we therefore recommend you use up to- date anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware software on your device before conducting any banking using VoIP; and take steps to ensure that you are satisfied with your VOIP service provider’s:  (a) security measures; (b) data protection standards; and (c) personal information handling policies.  

You should also note that your VOIP service provider may route communications offshore, in which case these communications may not be secure nor may they be regulated by Australian law.

7 Protecting against unauthorised access

Secure codes

When you register for the Unloan App, you will enter and verify your email address and mobile phone number. This email address and mobile phone number will be used by Unloan to send you secure codes, which will allow you to access the Unloan App or perform other operations in the Unloan App.

You can update your email address and mobile number by contacting us at [email protected] or in the Unloan App if that functionality is made available to you. Your update of these details may be subject to your ability to verify the existing email address and mobile phone number with a secure code.

You are responsible for ensuring your email address and mobile phone number are entered correctly in the Unloan App and kept up to date.

Entering a secure code into the Unloan App incorrectly too many times may result in your access being suspended. If this occurs you will not be able to log in using the Unloan App, and you will need to contact Unloan to regain access.

In certain scenarios we may require additional verification of log in details or identity, for example for high value transactions or when updating your details.

7.2 Protecting secure codes

You must ensure only you have access to:

  • Your device;
  • Emails sent to your registered email address; and
  • Text messages sent to your registered mobile phone number.

You must never share or let anyone view a secure code - not even family or friends.

7.3 Other things you must do

Things you should do are included below.

  • Lock your device and take any reasonable steps to stop unauthorised use of the Unloan App and disclosure of your account details.
  • If your device is lost or stolen, notify us immediately.
  • If you suspect your secure codes have been accessed or are accessible by someone else, notify us immediately.
  • If you suspect the security of one or more methods of obtaining secure codes has been breached, notify us immediately.
  • Only install approved applications on your device from a known and reputable app store provider. To assist in fraud detection, we may collect information about whether your device is enabled to install other apps from unknown sources, or whether known malicious apps have been installed on your device. If we detect malicious apps on your device, we may contact you. We only use this information for the purpose of fraud detection.

7.4 Other things you must never do

You must not:

  • Allow another person to use your device or Unloan login, including to make payments or transfers;
  • Leave your device unattended; and/or
  • Use the Unloan App with a device that is not compatible with the Unloan App.

8 Your obligations

You must:

  • only use the App for the purpose of receiving the Unloan Services and not for any other purpose;
  • comply with Unloan’s reasonable instructions and guidelines relating to security requirements from time to time;

  • ensure that you do not share your log in identifications or passwords, or any other confidential codes provided to you through the App with other persons;
  • ensure that all devices used to access the App have up to date anti-virus software installed and operating; and

  • access the Unloan Services through any means other than publicly supported interfaces like Unloan's web application, Unloan's mobile application or other Unloan-designated channels;
  • add a large data load on the Unloan Services that consumes extraordinary resources (examples of which include your use of robots, spiders, and automated systems that send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time using a normal browser); and/or
  • submit data through the Unloan Service that: (a) infringes a third party's IP rights; and/or (b) contains viruses, bots, worms, scripting exploits or similar materials.
  • copy any aspect of the App and the Unloan Services other than in the ordinary course of the operation, use, or receipt the Unloan Services under these Terms and Conditions;

  • without Unloan’s prior written consent, modify, translate, adapt or otherwise create derivative works based upon, the App or its associated services;
  • copy ideas, features, functions or graphics of the App for use in another product or service;
  • use the App directly or indirectly for any activity or upload, store or transmit any data, information or material unlawfully or which prevents any other customer from accessing, using or enjoying the App;

In addition to any monitoring rights provided to us under your separate Apple store and Google Play store terms and conditions that you have agreed separately with Apple and/or Google (as applicable), you understand and agree that Unloan may monitor and measure access to and use of the App and Services by you for the purpose of ensuring:

  • compliance with these Terms and Conditions; and
  • technical efficiency or security of the App and Unloan Services.

16 Linking other bank accounts

About Consumer Data Right (CDR)

The Consumer Data Right (CDR) was introduced by the Federal Government to provide customers with rights to access specified data that relates to them (CDR data) held by an organisation (data holder).  It also allows customers to authorise the sharing of their CDR data (a) to organisations accredited by the ACCC under the Consumer Data Right (called accredited data recipients),and (b) to third party service providers collecting CDR data from, or on behalf of, an accredited data recipient.

For the banking sector, CDR data sharing is often referred to as Open Banking. Unloan is both a data holder and an accredited data recipient under the CDR. Where Unloan holds your CDR data, you can ask us to share that data with other accredited data recipients . Where a third party holds your CDR data (external CDR data),you can consent for us to collect your external CDR data from the third party so we can provide you with a product, service or feature. Refer to Unloan CDR Policy for more information, including how we handle your CDR data.

16.1   About other bank accounts

If you consent to Unloan collecting your external CDR, Unloan may collect, hold and use your CDR data to give you a better view of your financial position by allowing you to see your linked bank or financial institution accounts in the Unloan App. We may ask for you to share some of your external CDR data, including account balances, transactions and features of products you have with other banks.

Over time, we may introduce more services or features that use data from other organisations. If we do so, we will update our CDR Policy with any relevant information.

16.2   Our CDR Policy

For more information on CDR, including how we manage your CDR data, please refer to Unloan’s CDR Policy at https://www.unloan.com.au/important-information/consumer-data-right-policy.

16.3  CDR and joint account holders

For joint account holders, our CDR Policy includes information about the circumstances in which you or any of your other account holders are able to share CDR data from your joint account with accredited data recipients and others under the CDR, without each other’s further approval.

17 Other things you should know

17.1 Accessing the Unloan App from more than one device.

For security reasons, Unloan may limit the number of devices you can use to install and register to the Unloan App.   This limitation may include limiting the number devices you can use the Unloan App on concurrently. If you add a new device, you will need to comply with certain security verifications as part of your registration of that device, and these security verifications will be made available to you through the App.  

If you seek to de-register the App from a device, you should delete the App where possible and notify us through [email protected].

17.2 Check the details you enter carefully

If you have a home loan with us and use the App for Redraw Transactions, please take care to enter the correct recipient or payee details or your payment may be unsuccessful and/or you may not be able to recover a payment made to an incorrect recipient. We do not check that the details you provide are correct.  Please see your home loan terms and conditions for more details.

You cannot delete or cancel an Unloan App payment transaction once it has been made. Please see your home loan terms and conditions for further details regarding transactions.

You are responsible for entering the correct recipient details when sharing information in the App via email, SMS or any other 3rd party app installed on your device.

17.3 Fees

There are currently no fees charged by us for using the Unloan App.

17.5 Suspension or termination

Despite any right contained in these Terms and Conditions, in the event that you appear to be a Proscribed Person, we may immediately refuse to process or complete any transaction or dealing of yours, and suspend or terminate the provision the Unloan App to you.
