Apply online and get help from local home loan experts when you need it.
Your refinancing application should take about 20 mins to complete. We will ask you some basic questions about you and your property to check your eligibility. Then we will need to verify your identity, financials and run a credit check. Have a digital copy of your ID and key documents ready to upload.
Once completed we'll tell you whether or not you're approved — or declined. Once you are approved we will send over a contract for you so you can sign.
The final step is settlement. This is where the money changes hands from your current lender to Tic:Toc. The date is generally worked out by our solicitor/conveyancer and your current bank’s settlement department. It can take up to 3 weeks.

About our Awards
Awards don’t motivate us as much as helping customers. But as the OG digital home loan, being awarded Canstar’s ‘Digital Lender of the Year’ makes us pretty proud. We’re excited to say that over the last five years, we’ve won 42 Canstar awards and you can find out all about them here.
No honeymoon rates
Existing borrowers may have a different interest rate, depending on the price we were able to negotiate with our funder at the time the loan settled, and any reductions made over time. We don’t do honeymoon rates, or make loyal customers subsidise lower prices for new customers. We’re transparent with our rate history, you can read about it here.
Our current rates
Our rates are current as of 14 September 2023; available to all home loans approved on or after this date, and they can change. Our comparison rates are calculated for a $150,000 loan over 25 years. They factor in our fees associated with applying for the loan; our ongoing fees and our fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the fixed term. You can find all of our roll-to rates here. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a one year period.
WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
