We’re working on simplifying our application process so that there is minimal involvement required from your client, and this will be reflected on this page in due course. During the application journey, your client will receive progress updates via the Nomo app.
Because Nomo provides Sharia-compliant Property Finance, the amount of documents that your client will receive for signature is different than for conventional mortgage finance, hence we have explained the steps below so that you can support your client through the process.
Once you're satisfied that Nomo Property Finance is right for your clients:
Client downloads the Nomo app
Submit your client's full property finance application via the Nomo Broker Portal, providing all necessary data and documents. Our full list of packaging requirements can be found here. If the client does not already have a Nomo current account, we will trigger an account to be created, and you will provide their onboarding requirements as part of packaging.
Client registers with Nomo
Once the property finance application has been received by Nomo, a Property Finance Officer from Nomo will be assigned to the case.
We process the account application & notify the client
If the client already has a Nomo current account, please inform them that they will receive a notification to review and approve the application in the app – please skip to Step 6. If they don’t already have an account, the onboarding process will be initiated.
You submit the application via the Broker Portal
The client will receive a liveness and passport scan link to their email via the Nomo Onboarding team. They will need to follow this link, complete their liveness scan and upload their passport.
Log in to Broker Portal
Client reviews & approves the application
If the client is approved in line with our KYC requirements, they will receive an email allowing them to claim their account set up using the information you have provided as their broker.
