The information provided will be limited to identity particulars – your name, sex, address (and the previous two addresses), date of birth, and name of employer, and may include your driver’s licence number, or other identity card number.
Some of these loan providers or finance brokers may also conduct an identity check for the purposes of identifying you under the relevant anti-money laundering legislation and may in addition request that you provide your driver’s licence number or other identity card number or document such as your Medicare or passport details. They may disclose any of your information from time to time, as required or permitted by law.
For the purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering & Counter-Terrorist Financing Act 2006, you acknowledge that you have given express consent for us or the Other Parties: to obtain your personal information (such as your name, address and date of birth) from you for the purposes of verifying your identity; to disclose such information to a credit reporting agency; and have given consent for the credit reporting agency to use such information, solely for the purposes of making an assessment of whether your information matches information held on your credit information file.

Where requested, you give express consent/authorisation for the loan provider or their service providers to access your third party internet banking for the sole purpose of obtaining the last 3 months bank transactions in order to make an assessment about your application for credit. Please note that your bank’s terms of use for your internet banking may prohibit you from sharing your login details/passwords, and therefore you are responsible for, and hold the loan provider (and/or their service provider) harmless against, any adverse action by your bank for your use of this service and for providing the loan provider (or their service provider) with your login details. Please note that the loan provider and/or their service provider will not store your log-in details, they are simply used to access your bank transactions directly.
