Credit Suitability and Assessment

Before we can recommend any financial product to you (such as a credit contract), we make an assessment of your current financial situation and objectives to ensure any credit product we may offer meets your needs. We make reasonable enquiries and ask you to provide verifiable information.

We will not allow you to enter into a credit contract if we believe:

  1. it is likely you could not fulfil or only do so with substantial hardship, your financial obligations to us under the contract; or
  2. you could only meet your financial objective to us by selling your family’s main home; or
  3. the credit contract will not meet your requirements or objectives; or
  4. the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (Cth) 2009 prohibits us from doing so.

Assessment Copy

Should you want a written copy of our assessment, free of any charge, you may ask us to provide it before you either enter into a credit contract with us or at any time up to seven (7) years from the date you signed the contract with us.

Upon receiving a request for a copy of our assessment, we will supply it to you within seven (7) business days of making the request if your inquiry is made within two (2) years of the date you entered into the credit contract, otherwise we will supply it to you within twenty-one (21) business days. If we have bought your debt from your original credit provider, we have an additional eight (8) and four (4) days to comply.

We are not obliged to give you a copy of the assessment where we do not provide you with the credit.
