Third Party Products or Services

If your complaint relates to a product or service acquired through a third party (for example, a lender) we may ask you to contact the relevant third party. They will deal with your complaint under their complaints resolution process.

If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your complaint by the third party under their complaints resolution process, you are entitled to have your dispute considered by the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). Please contact AFCA (contact details provided below) for further details.

Keeping you informed

Our Compliance Officer will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 5 business days. If unable to resolve the complaint/dispute to your satisfaction within 5 business days, they will write to you advising the procedures we will follow in investigating and handling your complaint.

Within 45 calendar days from the date you lodged the complaint with us, we will write to you advising you the outcome of the investigation and the reason/s for our decision, or if required, we will inform you more time is needed to complete the investigation.

Still not satisfied?

If an issue has not been resolved to your satisfaction, you can lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA provides fair and independent financial services complaint resolution that is free to consumers.

You may also refer the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority at any time, but if our internal process is still in progress, AFCA may request that our internal process be complete before considering the matter further.
