If you are looking for consumer credit products, our role is to help you find a product that suits you. That process involves talking to you to understand your requirements and objectives in seeking credit, as well as understanding your financial position.

Our assistance process

We are required by law to ensure that any credit product with which we assist you can be deemed “not unsuitable” for you. In simple terms, this means that the product fits your needs and that you can afford to meet the financial repayments.

To establish this, we need to:

 -make enquiries with you as to your needs;

 -make enquiries with you as to your financial position; and

 -collect evidence from you to verify your financial position.

Once we have done this, we will then use our broking expertise to find a product in the market place that you can afford and that meets your needs.

We can provide you with a report – called a Preliminary Assessment – on how we determined that any loan we assisted you with was not unsuitable for you. You may request this report up to seven years after we provided you with this assistance.

With what products do we provide assistance?

In the past 6 months, the top 6 lenders that our clients have been placed with are:

1. Westpac Banking Corporation

2. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

3. Flexicommercial Pty Ltd

4. Firstmac Asset Funding Pty Ltd

5. BOQ Equipment Finance Limited

6. Resimac Asset Finance Pty Ltd

This is not to say that we will only deal with these lenders, it is simply that the products these lenders offer have been most suitable to our most recent clients. Your case may be different and we would look at your needs separately and independently of the above list.

How do our Credit Representatives get paid?

Our Credit Representatives are paid a commission directly from the lender. The lender may pay them a percentage amount upon settlement of your loan and may also pay them an ongoing percentage amount for the life of your loan.

These amounts are paid to the Credit Representative by the lender and ARE NOT payable by you. If you are interested and want an estimate of what the commission payment will be and how it is worked out, please just ask us or our Credit Representative and we will be only too glad to provide you with this information.

Our Credit Representative may also charge you a direct fee of between $0.00 and $1,500.00 for their services. The fee payable will depend on the complexity of your situation, but will be separately disclosed to you in the Credit Quote that our Credit Representative will provide for your signoff before proceeding with actually assisting you. In any case, the fee will be no greater than $1,500.00.

What if you are not happy with our services?

At Elite Finance Pty Ltd, we always work hard to build strong and lasting relationships with our valued customers. By listening to your feedback, not only can we address any immediate concerns you may have, we will also continually improve our products and services.

We know there are times when you may wish to compliment us on something we have done well and other times when you may wish to tell us we have not met your expectations.

If, for any reason, you do not feel that you have received the highest standard of care from us, we encourage you to share this with us. We have developed a process that we believe makes it easy for you to tell us of your concerns and for them to be addressed quickly and fairly.

You can contact us by whichever of the following means best suits you:
