Unsuitability test

Before entering into a credit contract, or increasing a credit limit under an existing credit contract with you, we will:


  • Make reasonable inquiries about your requirements and objectives in relation to the credit contract (or increase) and your financial situation;
  • Take steps to verify the information you provide us regarding your financial situation; and
  • Make an assessment about whether the credit contract (or increase) is unsuitable for you.

We will assess the credit contract (or increase) as unsuitable for you if it:

  • Will not meet your requirements or objectives;
  • Is likely you will not be able to meet your financial obligations; or
  • Is likely you would be unable to do without substantial hardship.

We are prohibited by law from entering into a credit contract (or providing an increase) if it is assessed as being unsuitable for you.

Requesting a copy of the assessment

You can request a copy of the assessment made, which we will provide to you at no cost. You can request this before entering into the credit contract or increase, or any time up to 7 years after you have entered into the credit contract or increase. If you request a copy of the assessment made in relation to a credit contract (or increase), we will endeavour to provide you with a copy by the time set out below:
