Consumer and commercial credit information

We may exchange your commercial and consumer credit information with entities listed below to assess an application for consumer or commercial credit and manage that credit.

When we make such a request, a record of it may be included in your credit information and used by credit providers to assess your creditworthiness, including calculation of a credit score or credit rating. Such information request may have an impact on your credit score or credit rating, which is determined by the CRB.

A CRB may also include information we disclose to it in reports provided to other credit providers to assist them in assessing your creditworthiness, and if you fail to meet your payment obligations in relation to consumer credit or commit a serious credit infringement, we may be entitled to disclose this to a CRB.
