Important Information About Credit Reporting

We have set out below some important information about credit reporting, the entities we may disclose your credit information to, and certain rights you have in relation to your credit information. This statement compliments our Privacy Policy, which provides further information on how we manage your credit-related personal information.

We may disclose your personal information to credit reporting bodies

We may disclose personal information about you in connection with your applications for, or other dealings with us regarding, our products or services to credit reporting bodies listed below. For example, if you fail to meet your payment obligations to us, or if you commit a serious credit infringement, in relation to consumer credit we may be entitled to disclose this information to credit reporting bodies. Those credit reporting bodies may include that information in reports they provide to other credit providers to assist them in assessing your credit worthiness

Credit reporting bodies are required to have a policy explaining how they will manage your credit-related personal information. You can view the policy for each credit reporting body we deal with at the relevant links below.
