What is investment income?
Under Unloan’s credit policy, we define investment income as income from any asset (excluding cash balances and investment properties) such as dividends (including franking credits) from shares and distributions from managed funds. Dividends from restricted/unvested stock are not accepted.
What documents do I need to show investment income?
To verify this income, please provide a statement that displays the income received over the last 12 months. This must be dated within the last six (6) weeks of submitting your Unloan home loan application.
Where can I obtain this document?
Most brokerages in Australia such as Commsec, Interactive Brokers, IG Group, and Stake will provide an option for you to download a yearly statement, which covers 12 months back from the date the statement was generated.
How do I read this document?
The statement includes the dividends (including franking credits) you’ve received within the last 12 months as well as other information such as the shares that you hold, trades that you’ve made and any deposit and withdrawal activity.

Unloan is a division of Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Applications are subject to credit approval, satisfactory security and you must have a minimum 20% equity in the property. Minimum loan amount $10,000, maximum loan amount $10,000,000, and total borrowings per customer across all Unloan loans is $10,000,000. If you currently have an Unloan home loan with an active Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) policy the maximum amount you can borrow across all Unloan loans is $3,000,000.

Unloan offers a 0.01% per annum loyalty discount on the Unloan Live-In rate or Unloan Invest rate upon settlement. On each anniversary of your loan’s settlement date (or the day prior to the anniversary of your loan’s settlement date if your loan settled on 29th February and it is a leap year) the margin discount will increase by a further 0.01% per annum up to a maximum discount of 0.30% per annum. Unloan may withdraw this discount at any time. The loyalty discount is applied for each loan you have with Unloan.
