We guarantee your bond with the agent and replace this significant cost for you with a simple $4.99 per week subscription.
You pay a subscription and Bondable guarantees your bond directly with the agent. As this is not a loan there is no interest, repayments or payouts - just a simple subscription.
Application takes less than 5 minutes. You will need 100 points of ID and a debit or credit card (we won't charge your card until you are approved) and it is a soft credit check that won't impact your credit score.

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
I'm not great at this stuff, can you spell it out for me again
Traditionally, you have to front up 4 weeks of bond and up to 4 weeks of rent before you move in. In most states and territories you also have your previous 4 week bond tied up whilst you exit meaning you can be up for 12 weeks of rent!
Let's say your rent is $500 per week, that is $6,000 you are out of pocket. This is one of the biggest issues contributing to affordable housing issues in Australia.
With Bondable you would only need to pay a simple weekly subscription instead of a bond. Saving you thousands of dollars.

How does Bondable work?
Bondable replaces this traditional bond with a subscription. Bondable is mutually beneficial to both the tenant and property manager or landlord. We don't pick sides.
As the tenant, you remain liable for damages or breach of your tenancy agreement. The Bondable subscription does not cover your bond (it is not an insurance product).
If a claim is raised by the property manager or landlord we instantly pay that claim amount (up to double the bond amount) whilst we help mediate a settlement between the parties. This is done via a digital mediation process.
Once agreement is reached to settle a claim between the parties we facilitate the settlement process. At this point, the parties are required to make payment to Bondable for the amounts that have been agreed during the mediation and settlement process.
If you the owe money once settlement is reached, you will be required to pay Bondable for that amount.
We want to make sure Bondable is every tenants best friend so will work with you to set up a payment plan that takes into consideration your personal circumstances if needed.

What happens if there is a claim?
As the tenant you remain legally responsible for damages, non-payment of rent and any other breaches of the tenancy agreement. Bondable is a solution that helps mediate a quick outcome for all parties.
In the event of a claim, we have a digital mediation process in place to help both parties come to a quick resolution.
35% of bonds require the parties to come to an agreement. If the parties can't agree then the property manager or landlord may choose to take the matter to the tribunal for arbitration.
For example, the property manager or landlord lodge a claim for $500 during the exit process on your property. We instantly pay that $500 to the property manager or landlord so they can make good on the damage and keep their business moving forward.
Our digital mediation process then works with all parties who agree that the cost of damages should be $300. In this event, the property manager or landlord would pay Bondable $200 and you, the tenant, would pay Bondable $300.
If you don't have $300 we have a number of ways to help you make these payments which will be made available at the time. None of the above will impact your credit score, the process is designed to help tenants.

How long does my Bondable application take to be approved?
You will be notified if you are eligible for Bondable instantly. We will contact your agent as quickly as possible to obtain their approval. Once their consent is obtained you will be approved for Bondable.
Is Bondable a credit product
Yes. We will undertake a credit check as part of the application process. This is a soft check that doesn't impact your credit score. We want to make sure Bondable customers are never disadvantaged by using our products.

Life happens! If you miss a payment we will give you 7 days to make good on that payment.
If, after 7 days you have not made payment we will then commence a collections process. At this point, there is no impact on your credit score, we will do what we can to help you get back on track.
