Annual Loan Servicing Cost: The Hard Numbers
What Can You Actually Outsource?
Think of your offshore team as an extension of your own. You can delegate tasks across the entire loan lifecycle to free up your plate.
Loan Processing & Parabroking
This is the heavy lifting. Your offshore team manages the file from the moment you get it until it's ready for your final sign-off.
- ✔Collecting and verifying all borrower documents.
- ✔Data entry into your aggregator or lender software.
- ✔Running serviceability calcs and ordering valuations.
- ✔Liaising with lenders to keep the application moving.
The Smart Way to Outsource: Managing the Risks
Going offshore is a big move. Doing it right means being smart about the risks. Here’s what you need to know to protect your clients and your business.
Data Security
Sending client data overseas is a huge responsibility. A breach can destroy client trust and lead to massive fines.
- Demand ISO 27001 certification. It's the global standard for security and is non-negotiable.
- Enforce MFA and end-to-end encryption.
- Ensure data is stored on secure, Australian-based servers.
- Prohibit local file downloads and use of personal devices.
Compliance
You are 100% responsible for compliance, even for work done offshore. You can't outsource your obligations under the NCCP Act.
- Ensure your partner is an expert in Australian regulations.
- Remember APRA has strict rules for offshoring material activities.
- Conduct your own regular audits of their work.
Legal Liability
A recent court case showed that hiring offshore "contractors" directly can make you their legal employer, liable for back-pay and unfair dismissal claims.
- Never hire direct. Partner with a proper BPO provider that employs the staff.
- Ensure you have a clear business-to-business contract.
- Stick to your aggregator's list of approved providers.
