About This Credit Guide
What we must do before we can offer credit to you
We can’t enter into an agreement with you or offer you credit, unless we’re sure it will suit your needs and that it is affordable. This means that before we enter into an agreement, we need to understand your needs and objectives and ensure that you can meet your repayment obligations under the agreement. To do this we will:
- Ask you for details about your financial situation such as what you earn and what you spend.
- Take steps to check this information such as asking for copies of documents and performing a credit check; and
- Use this information to make an assessment about whether the agreement will be unsuitable for you.
An agreement will be unsuitable for you if it doesn’t meet your needs or objectives or at the time you enter it, it is likely you won’t be able to meet your financial obligations or could only meet them with substantial hardship.
Copy of the assessment
You can ask for a free copy of your written assessment of unsuitability any time up to 7 years from the date we enter into the agreement with you.
If it is 2 years or less since you commenced your agreement we’ll get a copy to you within 7 business days. If it is longer than 2 years we’ll provide you with a copy within 21 business days.
We aren’t required to give you a copy of the assessment if we decide not to proceed with the agreement.
