If you are looking for consumer credit products, our role is to help you find a product that suits you. That process involves talking to you to understand your requirements and objectives in seeking credit, as well as understanding your financial position.
Our assistance process
We are required by law to ensure that any credit product with which we assist you can be deemed “not unsuitable” for you. In simple terms, this means that the product fits your needs and that you can afford to meet the financial repayments.
To establish this, we need to:
Once we have done this, we will then use our broking expertise to find a product in the market place that you can afford and that meets your needs.
We can provide you with a report – called a Preliminary Assessment – on how we determined that any loan we assisted you with was not unsuitable for you. You may request this report up to seven years after we provided you with this assistance.
Our panel lenders
In the past 3 months, the top 6 lenders that our clients have been placed with are:
This is not to say that we will only deal with these lenders, it is simply that the products these lenders offer have been most suitable to our most recent clients. Your case may be different and we would look at your needs separately and independently of the above list.
Fees payable by you
Generally, no fees or charges are payable by you to us for our credit assistance. In some instances, a fee for service may be required and the details of fees payable by you will be set out in our credit quote, which we will give you before a finance application is lodged.
However, you may be charged a lenders’ application fees, valuation fees and other fees associated with the loan. These fees are not charged by us and will be disclosed to you prior to the credit application. Please note if a valuation is conducted and you choose not to proceed with the loan, you may be liable for the valuation fees.
Commission received by us
We may receive commissions from the lenders and lessors who provide finance for you as our customer. These are not fees payable by you. You may obtain from us information about a reasonable estimate of those commissions and how those commission are calculated.
We use the services of a finance aggregator in order to gain access to many different Australian lenders. In return for this service, our aggregator charges us a share of the commission paid to us by lenders. If you are interested and want an estimate of what the aggregator’s commission share will be and how it is worked out, please just ask us and we will be only to glad to provide you with this information.
Referral fees
In some cases, your business may have been referred to us by non-regulated third parties such as real estate agents, accountants, financial planners etc. Where this is the case, we may pay a referral fee to these parties. If we do pay a fee to these parties, then 1) they should already have told you about this; and 2) we will either disclose the actual fee in our final documentation with you or we will instruct you that, if you want to know, you can ask us about the fees and we will tell you how much was paid and how it was worked out.
Conflict of interest
While we have other services in our business that would benefit our clients, you are under no obligation to use these services.
