Does great southern accept Australian pension as income

    Hi Kev, Southern Bank has pension listed as an eligible income source. It says on its eligibility page that you need to provide proof of pension payments with a statement that’s “no older than 45 days from application date” and confirms the value of investments and current super drawings”. I hope that helps!
