If you have submitted all documents required, our Underwriting team will be reviewing this.

As soon as they’ve completed their checks, you will receive an email. If all checks have been successful, the email will contain a link to an e-contract to review and sign. If for some reason, you do not pass the checks, you will receive an email letting you know that your application has been declined. Please note, in some cases, we may require additional documentation than what is listed on your Bamboo account.
