Credit Providers

Credit Providers, Aggregators, Intermediaries & Brokers

Are you a lender, aggregator or other intermediary, or a new entrant into the consumer credit industry (e.g: Fintech) that needs assistance managing the complex world of consumer credit regulation?

We can provide services to lenders (large & small), mortgage aggregators, mortgage brokers, fintechs, financial planners, trustees and special purpose vehicles.

If you operate a mortgage fund or act as a mortgage manager, you are likely to be caught by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth).

We can help you apply for an Australian Credit Licence (ACL), or provide advice to see if your business requires an ACL.

More ways we can help

  • ACL compliance reviews & audits
  • Responsible lending advice
  • Procedure templates
  • Establishing new credit businesses
  • Reviewing existing compliance frameworks
  • Reviewing disclosure documents
  • Assisting clients with regulatory investigations

and much more.

Crypto-powered credit offerings

Crypto technologies are spurring innovation in the credit space – including consumer credit products, crypto-linked credit cards and commercial lending arrangements where crypto is collateral.  We can advise you on your credit offerings and have experience dealing with card schemes, consumer credit contracts and commercial lending arrangements – particularly where crypto protocols are involved, both centralised (CeFi) and decentralised (DeFi).
