I am refinancing from Bank of Melbourne to Commonwealth Bank, so far I have been waiting for two weeks since CBA is ready to settle. This is my first time refinancing, just wondering if you have an experience in refinancing and how long will it normally take after your new bank is ready to settle?

Thank you beforehand.
