Objective of this Reporting Standard

It includes Reporting Form ARF 223.0 Residential Mortgage Lending and the associated specific instructions.

 

 

Authority

  1. This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.

Purpose

2.             Information collected by Reporting Form ARF 223.0 Residential Mortgage Lending (ARF 223.0) is used by APRA for the purposes of prudential supervision. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Application and commencement

3.             This Reporting Standard applies to all authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADI) with the exception of:

(a)          providers of purchased payment facilities (PPFs); and

(b)          subject to paragraph 4 of this Reporting Standard, foreign ADIs.

This Reporting Standard may also apply to the authorised non-operating holding company (NOHC) of an ADI (refer to paragraph 6).

4.             If APRA considers that a foreign ADI undertakes material residential mortgage lending in Australia, APRA may, by notice, apply this Reporting Standard to that ADI and such a notice may specify that some or all of the requirements in this Reporting Standard apply to that ADI.

APRA may, by notice, vary or revoke a notice given under this paragraph 4 having regard to:

(a)          the particular circumstances of the ADI; and

(b)          the extent to which information is required for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI.

5.             This Reporting Standard applies:

(a)          in the case of locally-incorporated ADIs to which Reporting Standard ARS 320.8 Housing Loan Reconciliation (ARS 320.8) applies, for reporting periods ending on or after 31 March 2018; or

(b)          in the case of all other locally-incorporated ADIs, for reporting periods ending on or after 30 September 2018; or

(c)          in the case of a foreign ADI to which paragraph 4 of this Reporting Standard applies, for reporting periods ending after the date the applicable notice under paragraph 4 is given.

Information required

6.             If an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies is part of a Level 2 group, the ADI must provide APRA with the information required by ARF 223.0 at Level 2 for each reporting period unless the ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised NOHC. If the ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised NOHC, the ADI’s immediate parent NOHC must provide APRA with the information required by ARF 223.0, for each reporting period. In doing so, the immediate parent NOHC must comply with this Reporting Standard as if it were the relevant ADI.

7.             If an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies is not part of a Level 2 group, the ADI must provide APRA with the information required by ARF 223.0 at Level 1.

Method of submission

8.             The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA in electronic format using the ‘Direct to APRA’ application, or by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.

Note: the Direct to APRA application software (also known as ‘D2A’) may be obtained from APRA.

Reporting periods and due dates

9.             Subject to paragraph 11, an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of each quarter ending 30 September, 31 December, 31 March and 30 June.

10.         The information required by this Reporting Standard must be provided to APRA within 28 calendar days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates[1].

11.         APRA may, by notice, change the reporting periods, or specified reporting periods, for a particular ADI, to require it to provide the information required by this Reporting Standard more frequently, or less frequently, having regard to:

(a)          the particular circumstances of the ADI; and

(b)          the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI.

12.         APRA may grant an ADI an extension of a due date, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the date on the notice of extension.

Quality control

13.         The information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard may be completed on a best endeavours basis for a transition period, being:

(a)          for ADIs to which ARS 320.8 applies, for the reporting periods ending on or before 30 June 2018; or

(b)          for ADIs to which ARS 320.8 does not apply, for the reporting periods ending on or before 31 December 2018; or

(c)          for reporting periods as specified by APRA by notice.

Note: for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 13 of this Reporting Standard does not limit APRA from, under section 17 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001, directing an ADI to give APRA explanation of, or variation to, information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard.

14.         For reporting periods ending after the relevant transition period in paragraph 13, information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard must be the product of processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI as set out in Prudential Standard APS 310 Audit and Related Matters. Relevant standards and guidance statements issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board provide information on the scope and nature of the review and testing required from external auditors. This review and testing must be done on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the information.

15.         All information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard must be subject to processes and controls developed by the ADI for the internal review and authorisation of that information. These systems, processes and controls are to assure the completeness and reliability of the information provided.

Note: for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 13 of this Reporting Standard does not limit the requirements of paragraph 15 of this Reporting Standard.

Authorisation

16.         When an officer or agent of an ADI provides the information required by this Reporting Standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for the officer or agent to digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA

Minor alterations to forms and instructions

17.         APRA may make minor variations to:

(a)          a form that is part of this reporting standard, and the instructions to such a form, to correct technical, programming or logical errors, inconsistencies or anomalies; or

(b)          the instructions to a form, to clarify their application to the form

without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.

18.         If APRA makes such a variation it must notify each ADI that is required to report under this reporting standard.

Definitions

 

Terms highlighted in bold italics indicate that the definition is provided in these instructions.

 

Definitions of security types and loan purposes

 

Dwelling

A self-contained room or suite of rooms, including cooking and bathing facilities, intended for long-term residential use. A dwelling is private (not generally accessible by the public) and is contained within a building that is an immobile structure. A dwelling may comprise part of a building or the whole of a building. Regardless of whether they are self-contained or not, rooms within buildings offering institutional care (e.g. hospitals) or temporary accommodation (e.g. hotels, motels or hostels) are not defined as dwellings.

Investment

A loan for the purpose of housing, where the funds are used for a residential property that is not owner-occupied.

Where the loan is for a residential property that is different to the residential property against which the loan is secured, this definition refers to the occupation status of the residential property for which the loan has been obtained (not the occupation status of the property used as security).

It includes: holiday or vacation homes and part-time residences that are not the borrower’s or borrowers’ principal place of residence.

It excludes: part-time residences that are the borrower’s or borrowers’ principal place of residence. These should be reported under owner-occupied.

Owner-occupied

A loan for the purpose of housing, where the funds are used for a residential property, that is occupied or to be occupied by the borrower(s) as their principal place of residence.

Where the loan is for a residential property that is different to the residential property against which the loan is secured, this definition refers to the occupation status of the residential property for which the loan has been obtained (not the occupation status of the residential property used as security).

It includes:

  • dwellings and residential land that are vacant while under construction, but that the borrower intends to occupy as a principal place of residence;
  • part-time residences that are the borrower’s or borrowers’ principal place of residence.

It excludes:

  • part-time residences that are not the borrower’s or borrowers’ principal place of residence. These should be reported as investment.

Where finance is to be used for more than one purpose (owner-occupied, investment or non-housing purposes), the entire amount of the finance should be classified according to the predominant purpose (i.e. the purpose for which the largest share of the funds will be used).

Where there is any doubt or ambiguity about whether a loan is for an owner-occupied or investment property, report the loan as for investment.

Non-housing purposes

A loan secured by residential property where the funds are not used for the purchase, renovation or development of residential property. For example, personal loans secured by residential property.

Residential land

Any vacant land that does not have a dwelling attached, where the construction of a dwelling is allowed under zoning regulations.

Residential property

 

Residential land and dwellings.

Secured in Australia

Loans where the majority (by valuation) of residential property used as collateral for the loan is located in Australia.

Secured overseas

Loans where the majority (by valuation) of residential property used as collateral for the loan is located outside Australia.

Units or apartments

Dwellings in a building that has more than two dwellings. These dwellings do not have their own private grounds and usually share a common entrance foyer or stairwell. Do not include duplexes, townhouses or a detached residence that includes a flat (such as a granny flat) on the same property. Dwellings included in this item are categorised as class 13 ‘Flats, units or apartments’ in the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) Functional Classification of Buildings, 1999 (Revision 2011) Cat. no. 1268.0.55.001.

 


Definitions of borrower types and characteristics

 

Households

Individuals (that is, natural persons), or groups of individuals, whose dealings are for personal or household purposes. Exclude:

  • individuals, or groups of individuals, whose dealings with other sectors are for business purposes; 
  • sole proprietors, partnerships, and any other unincorporated enterprises;
  • family trusts; and
  • any other counterparties, such as corporations, partnerships and managed funds.

Impaired customer credit history

Borrowers with previous record of default, bankruptcy or other credit impairment, to the extent this information is known to the ADI.

Non-residents

Borrowers whose centre of predominant economic interest (i.e. principal place of residence) is outside Australia’s economic territory.

Private unincorporated businesses

Persons acting as sole proprietors or in partnerships for business purposes. The major businesses to be included in this sub-sector are unincorporated farms, unincorporated retailers, unincorporated professional practices (medical, legal, dental, accounting, etc.), unincorporated businesses of tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc.

It includes:

  • households whose dealings with other sectors are for business purposes; and
  • family trusts.

It excludes:

  • any unincorporated business that is a branch of a non-resident company;
  • unincorporated businesses that are owned by private trading corporations (e.g. joint ventures); and
  • government unincorporated enterprises.

SMSFs

Self-managed superannuation funds and has the meaning given by sections 17A and 17B of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.

 


Definitions of measures of loans

 

Borrower’s gross income

 

Borrowers annual before tax income, excluding any compulsory superannuation contributions and before any discounts or haircuts under the ADIs serviceability assessment policy.

Credit limit

The maximum amount of funds available to the borrower without additional authorisation or approval. This amount should include the credit outstanding and any other funds that can be drawn without additional approval by the lender.

For term loans, report the amortised value of the loan, gross of offset accounts.

For revolving credit facilities, any amounts in a net-deposit position should not add to the credit limit.

Credit outstanding

The balance owed by borrowers at the end of the reporting period (including capitalised interest or fees). The credit outstanding is the original loan amount, less any repayments, plus any redraw facilities drawn.

The balance should be reported gross of provisions. Do not net any deposit balances in offset accounts against the outstanding loan amount.

For revolving credit facilities, report the drawn amount.

Debt-to-income ratio

The ratio of the credit limit of all debts held by the borrower, to the borrowers’ gross income.

Include the credit limit of any debts, such as other mortgage lending, personal loans, credit-cards, consumer finance, margin lending and any other debts held by the borrower, to any party, to the extent this is known to the ADI.

Loan serviceability assessment rate

The interest rate used in the ADI’s serviceability assessments, such as an interest-rate floor or actual interest-rate rate plus interest-rate buffer. Loan serviceability rate does not consider other serviceability factors such as discounts or haircuts to income.

Loan-to-income ratio

The ratio of the credit limit of the loan to the borrower's gross income.

Loan-to-valuation ratio (LVR)

As defined in Attachment D of Prudential Standard APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk (APS 112).

 


Definitions of loan types and characteristics

 

30-89 days past-due

Loans that are at least 30 days past-due but less than 90 days past-due, whether or not the loan is well secured or impaired. This should be based on the original contractual terms of the loan, not restructured terms or temporary concessions.

Amortising

Loans on which interest is paid and principal is automatically amortised. Also known as principal and interest loans.

Exceptions to serviceability policy

Loans approved either with negative serviceability, below the ADI’s serviceability threshold or that have been granted other credit policy waivers related to serviceability. Include loans:

  • with net income surplus less than $0 or below the ADI’s minimum serviceability threshold, temporary or otherwise (e.g. bridging finance);
  • with net income surplus of more than $0 or the ADI’s minimum serviceability threshold, but where input parameters have been adjusted below policy minimum levels (e.g. changes to interest rate floors or expense assumptions); and
  • where additional income outside of policy is included to achieve net income surplus above $0 or the ADI’s minimum serviceability threshold.

Exclude loans:

  • that initially fail automated internal decision tools but meet serviceability policy requirements after income is manually added; and
  • with non-serviceability policy exceptions (for example, valuation and LVR exceptions).

Externally refinanced

Loans where a new loan is obtained to replace an existing loan that was provided by a different lender (that is not within the regulated ADI itself). It excludes:

  • refinanced loans for a different residential property. These should only be reported as new funded loans.

Funded

A loan is considered funded once any portion of the funds is made available for the borrower to draw down according to the terms of the contract, whether or not it is drawn down within that period.

Interest-only

Loans on which only interest is paid during a set period and no principal is automatically amortised. The loans will typically revert to principal-and-interest repayments at the end of the interest-only period. Only report loans as interest-only loans during their interest-only period.

Impaired

Loans that are impaired as defined in Prudential Standard APS 220 Credit Quality (APS 220).

Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI)

As defined in Attachment D of APS 112.

Low-documentation

A loan for which the lender has not, prior to loan origination, fully documented and verified the income of the borrower.

Mortgagee in possession

Loans for which the ADI has taken possession of the property securing the loan due to borrower default. Do not include loans where the property has been sold.

Offset accounts

Deposit accounts that are offset against the balance of an outstanding loan when calculating the interest owing. Exclude accounts with no credit outstanding associated with them, and all-in-one facilities where it is not possible to separate the loan balance from the borrower’s deposits.

Past-due

Loans are loans that are past-due and well secured as defined in APS 220.

Reverse mortgages

Loans secured by residential property in which repayments are generally deferred and capitalised, with full repayment due when the owner dies, sells the property or moves out of the house.

Revolving credit

Lending facilities that the borrower may repeatedly draw down, in part or in full up to an authorised credit limit, and repay any credit drawn, in part or in full, on multiple occasions without the facility being cancelled. Repayments (other than of charges and interest) reduce the borrowings, thereby increasing the amount of unused credit available. Include facilities with a fixed term that meet the above criteria. Include reverse mortgages.

Serviceability verification waivers

Loans with material waivers to serviceability verification requirements, which may impact the reliability of the serviceability assessment.

Temporary modifications due to financial difficulty

Loans where the ADI has made temporary modifications to the conditions to the loan, for example, temporary concessions to repayments, due to the financial difficulty of the borrower.

Term loans

Loans extended for a fixed period, with a maturity date by which the loan must be repaid. Repayments over the fixed period reduce the credit outstanding and do not make further finance available. Include redraw facilities attached to fixed-term loans as part of the term loan. Exclude reverse mortgages, report reverse mortgages as revolving credits.

Third-party originated

Loans where the ADI’s primary contact with the borrower at origination is through a mortgage broker or another party (including a related body corporate) that is not within the regulated ADI itself. This includes where this third party accepts or completes applications, and is regardless of whether the third party has the ability to approve transactions or not.
