  1. Information will be required from you

 Under the NCCP Act, we are obliged to make sure that any loan, or principal increase to a loan, or lease that we assist you to obtain is not unsuitable for you. We will need to ask you a series of questions to make this assessment. The law requires us to:

  • make reasonable enquiries about your borrowing objectives and requirements;
  • make reasonable enquiries about your financial situation; and
  • take reasonable steps to verify the details of your financial situation.

Credit will be unsuitable if, at the time of making the assessment, it is likely that, at the time the recommended loan or lease is made:

  • you cannot afford to repay the loan or lease or can afford to repay it only with substantial hardship; or
  • the loan or lease does not meet your borrowing objectives and/or requirements.

For these reasons, we must ask you to provide us with a significant amount of information, much of which we will need to verify. It is therefore very important that the information you provide to us is accurate and complete.

If we provide you with credit assistance, we are required to provide you, upon your request, a copy of our preliminary credit assessment for up to seven years.

  1. Information provided by us

We do not provide financial or legal advice. It is important to understand your legal obligations under a proposed loan or lease and the financial consequences imposed by the debt. If you have any doubts, you should obtain independent financial and legal advice before you enter into any finance contract.

We do not make any representations about the current value of any real estate you finance through us, or the future prospects of its value. You should always rely upon your own enquiries.

  1. Fees payable by you

We may charge you for our services if you apply for a home loan, an investment property loan, a personal loan or a lease. If a fee is to be charged, this will be disclosed to you in a Credit Quote which will be provided to you before applying for finance.
You may need to pay fees to us on behalf of third parties. Again, if these fees are to be paid, they will be detailed in your Credit Quote.

You will need to pay fees to the finance provider. These will be detailed in a Credit Proposal that we will provide to you before applying for finance.

  1. Commissions received by us

We may receive commissions from the finance provider that provides your loan or lease. These are not fees payable by you. Further details of the commission earned by us will be provided in the Credit Proposal that we will provide to you before applying for finance.

We may receive additional commissions or bonuses from finance providers relating to the volume of finance that we arrange. Such payments are dependent upon a number of factors and cannot be quantified at this point.

  1. Commissions and fees payable by us

Referrals from a broad range of sources are sourced by us and our representatives. For example, we or our representatives may pay commissions or fees to call centre companies, real estate agents, accountants, solicitors or other businesses for referring you to us. These are not fees payable by you. Any referral fee or commission paid in relation to your referral will be disclosed in the Credit Proposal that will be given to you before applying for finance.

  1. Our internal dispute resolution scheme

We hope that you are delighted with our services. However, if you have any complaints, you can raise these directly with the representative with whom you are dealing. If you are not satisfied with the response that you receive, you may contact our Complaints Officer, by telephoning1800 466 085 , emailing or writing to Level 14, 74 Castlereagh St, Sydney  NSW 2000.

When we receive a complaint, we attempt to resolve it as quickly as possible, subject to a full investigation of all the circumstances involved.

  1. Our external dispute resolution scheme

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may refer the matter to the Credit and Investments Ombudsman Limited, an ASIC-approved External Dispute Resolution scheme. External dispute resolution is a service provided at no cost to you, giving you access to an independent mechanism for the resolution of specific complaints or disputes.
