What is a blockchain mortgage?
Blockchain mortgage technology allows Australian Mortgage Marketplace to reduce the average 42 days it takes from submitting an application to reaching settlement to about 5 days.
Because there’s less people involved in processing the home loan, it also means it’s cheaper for AMM to settle applications and they pass these savings on to you with cheaper interest and almost $0 fees.
But how does it work?
Basically, blockchain technology is a list of records linked together and “encrypted” or secured so they’re only accessible to authorised parties.
Right now, the public records required to formalise approvals and settlements is held by separate entities and government bodies like your state’s land titles office.
Rather than physically having to make a request, the blockchain environment provides a “ledger” that allows information and transactions to move securely between these entities online.
The use of this distributed ledger technology (DLT) technology would allow your loan contract to be generated automatically, set up your home loan account and transfer and register ownership of the property.
