Open Banking
To make the loan application process simpler Churches Mutual offers Open Banking. This means that you do not need to directly submit bank statements, if you wish to use Open Banking for this application, please click the ‘Open Banking’ link in the confirmation email you receive after submitting this form. Please include access to all the accounts you use for regular income and expenditure transactions. Open banking allows you share your financial data such as your spending habits, regular payments and companies you use (basically your bank, credit card or savings statements) with authorised providers of financial services such as Churches Mutual. This allows us to make a fair and equitable assessment of your ability to repay a loan, which is in your best interests.
