Dear @elynch    With regards to your business name change query, as long as your firm’s ABN and entity remains the same, a request to update your firm’s business name can be sent to registration@pexa.com.au  We note, however, the business name must be registered with ASIC and also be registered to the firm’s legal entity.   In regards to whether the business name change will affect your ability to sign in PEXA, this should not affect your ability to digitally sign, unless your firm has also changed email addresses and have ceased to use the previous email address which is also linked to a digital signing certificate.  If this is the case, then a new user profile for the new email address will need to be created in your firm’s PEXA account and a new digital signing certificate purchased to match the new user details.   If you have any further queries or require further clarification with regards to the above, please feel free to contact our Member Support team on 1300 084 515 or email registration@pexa.com.au   Kind Regards Natalie ...

Dear @settlementagent123    In order to register with PEXA, each entity must meet the Eligibility Criteria.  The Eligibility Criteria is outlined in the Model Participation Rules (Participation Rule 4 and related schedules) by PEXA’s regulator, ARNECC.  In summary, the Eligibility Criteria requires an applicant to have an ABN, be a legal Person, body corporate or a partnership, be of good character and meet the Insurance Rules.   We would suggest reviewing the Eligibility Criteria to see if you meet the requirements, in particular the minimum levels of coverage as stipulated under the Insurance Rules which can be viewed in Schedule 6 of the Model Participation Rules, which includes maintaining fidelity insurance or provide evidence of coverage for third party claims from dishonest and fraudulent acts.   In addition to the above, if your organisation wishes to complete conveyancing transactions on behalf of others, as a Representative Subscriber, you will need to ensure your organisation’s entity holds a principal practising certificate.  If however, your organisation’s entity does not hold a principal practising certificate but does meet the Eligibility Criteria to register for PEXA, you will only be able to be registered as a Principal Subscriber and will only be able to complete conveyancing transactions on behalf of your organisation.   If you have any further queries or would like further information, please feel free to email us at registration@pexa.com.au   Kind Regards Natalie ...

Hello Karen   If you are lodging a Transmission Application on its own (as a stand alone transaction), the PEXA fee and the land registry fee will be direct debited from your firm’s fee paying account.  If however, the Transmission Application forms part of a financial settlement, then the PEXA fee and the land registry fee will be listed as a payment on the Financial Settlement Statement. ...
