Ownership
Finsure is ultimately owned by MA Financial Group Limited (ACN 142 008 428). We will only ever assist you with the credit product that we believe is best for you and your circumstances. However, in the event that we introduce you to a loan from MA Financial Group Limited’s or any of its subsidiaries we will specifically disclose this ownership relationship to you again to ensure you understand our relationship with them.
Panel Lenders
We will provide you with information on a broad range of finance providers and loan products. Once you have chosen a loan or lease that is suitable for you, we will assist in obtaining approval for the finance. We source finance products from a panel of finance providers.
Information will be required from you
Information provided by us
We do not provide financial or legal advice. It is important to understand your legal obligations under a proposed loan or lease and the financial consequences imposed by the debt. If you have any doubts, you should obtain independent financial and legal advice before you enter into any finance contract.
We do not make any representations about the current value of any real estate you finance through us, or the future prospects of its value. You should always rely upon your own enquiries.
Fees payable by you
We may charge you for our services if you apply for a home loan, an investment property loan, a personal loan or a lease. If a fee is to be charged, this will be disclosed to you in a Credit Quote which will be provided to you before applying for finance.
You may need to pay fees to the finance provider as part of the application process. These will be detailed in a Credit Proposal Disclosure Document that we will provide to you before applying for finance.
Commissions received by us
We may receive commissions from the finance provider that provides your loan or lease. These are not fees payable by you. Further details of the commission earned by us will be provided in the Credit Proposal Disclosure Document that we will provide to you before applying for finance.
We may receive additional commissions or bonuses from finance providers relating to the volume of finance that we arrange. Such payments are dependent upon a number of factors and cannot be quantified at this point.
Commissions and fees payable by us
We hope that you are delighted with our services. However, if you have any complaints, you may contact our complaints manager who will aim to resolve your complaint within five business days.
If the complaint is going take longer than five business days, we will keep you updated on the progress and provide you a written response when our investigation is complete. This response will let you know the outcome of the investigation and the reasons for our decision.
