We will not make an unsuitable contract with you

SMF is a responsible lender. We are not permitted (by law) to enter into a credit contract or increase the credit limit of an existing credit contract if the contract or increase would be unsuitable for you.

A credit contract or limit increase will be unsuitable for you if it is likely that you will be unable to comply with your financial obligations under the contract or could only do so with substantial hardship, or if it does not meet your requirements or objectives.

This means that before we enter into a contract or increase its limit we must make an assessment that:

• you can meet your financial obligations under the credit contract without substantial hardship; and
• the credit contract meets your requirements and objectives.

To help us to make this assessment we must:

• make reasonable inquiries about your financial situation and your requirements and objectives; and
• take reasonable steps to verify your financial situation – for example, by asking for evidence of your income; and
• use this information to determine whether the credit contract or credit limit increase is unsuitable for you.

Making reasonable enquires about your financial situation and taking reasonable steps to verify your financial situation requires us to review your bank statements covering account transactions for the period of 90 days prior to the time we make our assessment. We need you to provide us with complete and accurate information so that we can assess whether the credit contract or credit limit increase is suitable for you.

You can ask us for a written copy of our assessment (which will include a summary of the inquiries we made and the factual information we relied on) before entering into the credit contract or increasing the credit limit. You can also ask us for a copy of our assessment at any time within 7 years after the date the credit contract is made or the credit limit is increased. However, we’re not required to provide you with a copy of our assessment when your application for a credit contract or credit limit increase is declined.

We will provide with a copy of our assessment within 7 business days if your request is made within 2 years. Otherwise we will provide with a copy of our assessment within 21 business days. We will not charge you a fee for providing a copy of our assessment.
