Property / Settlement Bridge

Access short-term liquidity for property timelines—without turning your portfolio into a mortgage.

What it’s for

  • Covering deposit or settlement timing gaps on a property transaction.

  • Bridging between sale proceeds and completion dates.

  • Managing short, known-dated cash needs tied to real assets or projects.

How it works

  • The facility is secured only by eligible marketable securities in your portfolio.

  • It is not a mortgage, and no real property is taken as collateral.

  • You draw what you need, when you need it; interest applies to drawn amounts only.

  • On receipt of proceeds (e.g., sale or refinance), you repay and release the draw.

Why clients use it

  • Speed: Funding can often be accessed quickly once a facility is in place.

  • Continuity: You stay invested—no forced sell-down of core holdings to meet dates.

  • Control: Purpose-built, short-tenor liquidity aligned to settlement milestones.

Important information clients understand

  • This is a securities-based lending facility, not consumer credit or a mortgage.

  • No property is accepted as security and we do not provide residential mortgages.

  • Facilities are offered exclusively to wholesale clients under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and are subject to our eligibility, collateral and concentration criteria.

  • Use of proceeds must comply with applicable laws and facility terms; we do not facilitate structures designed to circumvent Australian credit or property regulations.

Key considerations

  • Market declines can trigger margin calls; you may need to add collateral or repay at short notice.

  • Borrowing amplifies losses as well as gains.

  • Advance rates, eligible assets, single-name and sector limits apply.

  • Where transactions involve foreign currency or offshore settlement, FX and custody charges may apply.

For wholesale clients only. Availability subject to eligibility, collateral criteria and risk assessment.
