All standard conveyancing settlements are now conducted via e-conveyancing on the Property Exchange Australia (PEXA) platform. There is a new settlement app for buyers and sellers called PEXA Key. It offers high-level settlement tracking and importantly, a secure way to communicate bank account details if needed. Do you consent to us providing your details to PEXA to receive an invite to download the app and thereafter receive notifications via the app about your settlement?
YesNo
