Update from Glenn King, CEO
One of the many benefits of a digitised property settlement process is the flexibility it provides in how we work – not just for us here at PEXA, but importantly for our members too.
This week, as a precautionary measure, the PEXA team invoked its business continuity plan with all teams working remotely for a day to ensure that no matter what the circumstance, property transactions continue to settle safely and successfully, at the standard you’ve come to know and expect from us.
We’re pleased to report that our member support service levels remained exceptionally high, with the platform preserving its 100% availability and more that 90% of calls into the Support Centre answered within 60 seconds. In short, if people do need to work remotely for extended periods, you have our assurance that property transactions can continue to settle successfully via PEXA.
One of the greatest benefits PEXA provides is the flexibility for network participants to continue acting on behalf of their clients from anywhere with internet access, giving members the option to avoid settlement rooms and other high density areas. We’re also offering our people the opportunity to work remotely.
As the Department of Health continues evolving its advice regarding precautionary measures to take in relation to COVID-19, PEXA will continue working with its team and the broader network to keep Australia’s critical $7.1 trillion residential property market resilient, and property transactions settling safely.
We look forward to working with you over the coming weeks, as together we continue delivering this important service to Australian businesses and consumers.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
Glenn King
CEO
