PEXA in action
"The Westpac eSettlements team recently received a priority request to complete a refinance settlement urgently for one of our customers. Within 12 minutes of receiving the request, the team negotiated with the other FI to settle the same day. Settlement was completed and all documents successfully registered in PEXA 90 minutes after receiving the initial request. Now that’s digitisation in action and the very core of what eConveyancing is all about and the benefits it provides"
Lynne Carter, Executive Manager, Westpac
