How MCCA Finance Products work

  1. A potential client / customer approaches us for finance
  2. MCCA conducts a preliminary assessment based on the consumer’s requirements and objectives
  3. Subject to a satisfactory preliminary assessment and verification of information provided, MCCA issues a conditional letter of funding approval on behalf of the Funder* to the client
  4. The client is considered to have been appointed by MCCA as Wakeel to identify a property the client wishes to lease (to own)
  5. The client then identifies the property as Wakeel of the Funder to buy and promises to lease the property (to own) from the Funder*
  6. The client is considered to have entered into a lease arrangement with the Funder* which details the client’s rights to occupy the property.
  7. At the end of the lease agreement, the Funder* will transfer the property title over to the client in the form of a promissory gift (hiba).

*MCCA Asset Management Ltd is considered the Funder for the Tamleek product

  1. Once the property is purchased, the client makes ongoing periodic payments to the Funder, considered to be lease rental payments
  2. The client may purchase the property outright from the Funder at any time during the agreement period by paying the Funder’s outstanding finance amount on the property (which is considered to represent the Funder’s ownership in the property)
  1. The Funder transfers the property title over to the client in the form of a promissory gift (hiba)
  2. If the client chooses to maintain lease arrangement throughout the entire agreed period, on receipt of the last payment the Funder transfers the property title over to the client in the form of a promissory gift (hiba).

Our home finance products are based on a Shariah understanding of lease arrangement that ends in ownership also known in the Islamic Finance industry as Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek.

Yes, approved applicants will need to nominate an Australian bank account held in their name(s) from which the agreed finance instalments will be debited.

Under Shariah, Ijarah and Murabaha are considered contracts of exchange (i.e. exchange of right to occupy/use asset for payment of rent/lease or exchange of asset for deferred sale price) and not contracts of participation (i.e. where the parties share the profit or loss in a venture). As such, MCCA is not entitled to share the profit arising from the sale of the property during the Ijarah term and similarly not required to share the loss.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance is an industry standard arrangement which protects investors and funders against loss arising from the insufficiency of the security held to recoup amounts due under the contract. The cost of the Mortgage Insurance can be factored in the total finance facility.

MCCA’s Shariah Advisors have approved the use of LMI on the basis that it is mandatory in the industry particularly for higher risk financing where the amount of finance provided is in excess of 80% of the property purchase price.

Yes, we will be able to refinance your mortgages from any bank.

Anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim can apply for finance, but approval of funds is subject to meeting the applicable assessment criteria in force at the time of application.

The client name will be registered on the title, on the Shariah understanding that during the agreement period that the client will be holding the property as agent of MCCA.

MCCA is an accredited Mortgage Manager. All services will be provided in-house. We are not a broker or an originator.

The funder’s insurer or funder can at any time of the application process ask for any information that they deem is required to conform to their set guidelines.

Initial approval process which provides an estimate of how much a potential client may receive (before identifying the property to be purchased for the client to possess/occupy), based on the information provided to MCCA.

If the property does receive a lower than expected valuation, you may be required to provide a larger deposit for your application to be successful. The MCCA staff member processing your application will communicate the options opened to you with regards to progressing the application.

If the valuation has been received and is not acceptable, as an individual applicant the conditional approval is still open to you however the funder’s insurer and funder will not proceed with this current property that you wish to purchase or refinance as they deem it unsatisfactory in accordance with their guidelines.

The 10% deposit is not required to be paid in until you have received a formal approval letter from MCCA. This letter ensures that the finance application has been approved by all parties to the said finance facility.

No, these are fees that have been paid for the services that the Funder and the Valuer have rendered on your behalf and are therefore non-refundable. The funder’s insurers and funder need a valuation report to be able to assess your application. Paying for a valuation report or for finance processing fee does not mean an automatic approval.

Please feel free to discuss your finance application process with the local Branch Manager on 1300 724 734.
