Veda enters into strategic alliance with NECDL



Consumer and commercial data and intelligence company Veda has entered into a strategic alliance with NECDL (National e-Conveyancing Development Limited), the company responsible for delivering a national electronic conveyancing solution to the Australian property industry.
The alliance, announced this week, is being promoted by Veda as enabling its customers to access Australia's new property exchange, PEXA, through Veda's on-line portal, VedaCheck.
VedaCheck provides lenders, lawyers and other professionals involved in mortgage and conveyancing processes integrated access to data to support search and assessment requirements for property settlements.
Veda chief executive Neria Caesar said the strategic alliance would simplify property transactions for the company's customers.
"Lenders, conveyers and lawyers now not only have access to property, commercial and consumer data through VedaCheck; in the future they will also be able to complete the exchange of property," she said.
