Our Responsible Lending Obligations:

It is our duty to have a reasonable knowledge of your current financial situation, financial objectives and borrowing needs before we can provide credit assistance that meets your requirements.

As a credit licensee we and our representatives are required to:

make reasonable inquiries about your requirements and objectives;   make reasonable inquiries about your financial situation;      take reasonable steps to verify your financial situation;

make a preliminary assessment about whether the requested credit facility is ‘not unsuitable’ for you based on the inquiries and information obtained in the first three steps above.

When we have provided credit assistance you can request a written copy of the preliminary assessment which will be provided free of charge. This request can be made at any time up to 7 years after we have provided credit assistance. When the request is made within 2 years of the date we provided credit assistance we will give you the preliminary assessment within 7 business days of the date of the request. Otherwise we will give you the preliminary assessment within 21 business days of the date of the request.

When we cannot provide credit assistance:

We are prohibited by law from providing credit assistance that does not meet your requirements or objectives and/or where you could only comply with your financial obligations under the requested credit facility with substantial hardship or where other circumstances would make the requested credit facility unsuitable for you.

Our Panel Lenders:

We source finance from a panel of lenders. The lenders named below are the six with whom we conduct the most business.

Commission that will or may be paid to us:

Commission may be paid by the Credit Provider, to us or any Aggregator we use, after settlement of the proposed credit facility.
