When you call us on the telephone, we may monitor and in some cases record the telephone conversation for staff training and record-keeping purposes.

Finally, from time to time we may receive information that we have not asked for about you from third parties. We will only keep, use and disclose this information as permitted by law.

Important information about the exchange of credit-related information with Credit Reporting Bodies (CRBs)

If you apply for credit or offer to act as a guarantor, we may exchange certain credit-related personal information with CRBs.

The types of information we may disclose to CRBs may include that we provide credit to you, the type of credit you hold, the amount of credit provided to you, when your credit account is opened and closed, how you repay your credit, that you have made payments on time or corrected a default, the fact that you have failed to meet your repayment obligations or that you have committed a serious credit infringement. CRBs may include that information in reports provided to credit providers like Fintelligence to assist them to assess your creditworthiness.

Under the Privacy Act, CRBs are also permitted to assist credit providers like Fintelligence who wish to direct market to you by ensuring you meet certain specified criteria (called “pre-screening”). You have a right to request that CRBs not use your credit-related information for this purpose by contacting them using the details below.
