What's our credit policy?

What's our debt reducer policy?

We have a common debt reducer policy for spousal relationships only.  

Where an applicant has a joint commitment with a non-applicant spouse (held or to be held either with Macquarie or another financial institution):

  • Where 100% of the joint commitment is included in servicing, 100% of any associated rental income and negative gearing benefit can be used in the servicing calculation
  • A portion of the joint commitment can also be considered in the servicing calculation. However, the non-applicant spouse will need to also show ability to service the remaining portion using a verified household servicing calculation, with income and all commitments of the non-applicant spouse included. This means we don’t automatically split the debt 50/50.  

Where required, you can use the Macquarie Serviceability Calculator to assess the position including the non-applicant spouse. Here’s a form to capture their statement of position.

Refer to our Macquarie residential home loans credit guidelines, Section 3F – Commitments – Existing financial obligations for a full list of requirements.
