The guide includes information about us, our responsible lending obligations, the names of the credit providers with whom we conduct most of our business with, our fees, charges, and any commissions we may receive, and our dispute resolution process.

OUR OBLIGATIONS BEFORE PROVIDING CREDIT TO YOU

Under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (NCCP), we cannot provide credit assistance to you by:

  • suggesting that you apply for a particular credit contract with a particular credit provider; · suggesting that you apply for an increase to the credit limit of a particular credit contract with a particular credit provider; or · assisting you to do so, if the contract will be unsuitable for you.

The contract will be unsuitable for you if, at the time the contract is entered into or the credit limit is increased, it is likely that:

  • you will be unable to comply with your financial obligations under the contract, or could only comply with substantial hardship; or · the contract will not meet your requirements or objectives.

We must make a preliminary assessment whether the contract will be unsuitable for you before we can provide credit assistance to you.

To help us to make this assessment we will:

  • make inquiries about your financial situation and requirements and objectives that we believe are relevant to the credit you are applying for; and · take reasonable steps to verify your financial information – for instance by asking for evidence of your income; and · use this information to determine whether the credit contract is unsuitable for you.

You can request a copy of our preliminary assessment. We must give you a copy (at no charge to you): · within 15 business days, if your request is made within 2 years of our credit assistance quote; and · otherwise within 25 business days of your request.

We do not need to give you a copy of the preliminary assessment if we did not provide credit assistance to you or your request is made more than 7 years after we provided credit assistance to you.

Consumers will be liable to pay the following fees and charges for our credit assistance or matters associated with providing credit assistance:
