The bank says brokers will be able to produce mortgage illustrations and submit applications online for existing deals up to 10:30pm Wednesday 13 October 2021.

It adds that if brokers are unable to apply online due to a technical issue that cannot be resolved over the phone, then they must submit a paper-based application. In this case, brokers must email their BDM by midday on Thursday 14 October 2021. Requests received after this time will not be considered.

The lender says there is no change for existing customers, and no change to the end dates of the affected offers.
