#2 Project : Project Gateway
Client : Westpac Banking Corporation, Australia.
Role : Test Lead
Duration : Apr 2015 – Till Date
Location : Sydney, Australia
Project Description:
Project Gateway is a project resulting from an agreement between Westpac Group, BT LMI and a third party
(known as “Arrow”) to provide an integrated LMI offering to the Group’s mortgage Lending Channels.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a premium charged to customers when their loan value ratio (LVR) for a loan
application exceeds certain thresholds. LMI insures the lender against loss resulting from default of the borrower
where sale of the insured security property does not fully clear the outstanding debt – it does not cover the
borrower.
The Westpac Group currently uses two external mortgage insurance providers:
• Genworth Financial http://www.genworth.com.au/
• QBE LMI http://www.qbelmi.com/pg-home.seo
For Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) for all new mortgage applications that have a loan value ratio (LVR) of
>90% and for loan increases where the original or preceding loan has been insured with Genworth or QBE LMI.
Westpac group also uses one internal insurer:
• BT LMI (also referred to as WLMI)
For Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) for all new mortgage applications that have a loan value ratio (LVR) of
>80% and <= 90% LVR and for loan increases where the original or preceding loan has been insured with BT LMI.
The intention of this project is to replace Genworth and QBE LMI as the provider with ‘Arrow’ for new loan
applications.
The key features of this new arrangement are as follows:
Westpac Group will enter into an arrangement with Arrow to provide Lenders Mortgage Insurance (“LMI”)
on the Group’s new loan applications >90% LVR segment
Westpac Group will continue to use the incumbent insurers (Genworth, QBE LMI and WLMI) to provide
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (“LMI”) on the Group’s additional loan applications where the original or
preceding loan is insured by Genworth, QBE LMI or WLMI.
BT LMI will enter into a management arrangement with Arrow to administer the >90% LVR segment on
Arrow’s behalf – from Westpac’s perspective it will deal with BT LMI exclusively on all LMI matters, but
Arrow will hold the underwriting risk for the >90% LVR segment
BT LMI’s current ≤ 90% LVR business will remain unchanged
Roles & Responsibilities:
• Understanding the business requirements and reviewing the Business Requirements.
• Preparing and reviewing Test Conditions and Test Cases, and Traceability Matrix.
• Logging and tracking defects in HP Quality Center.
• Providing estimates for different testing activities.
• Keep track of the new requirements / change in requirements of the Project.
