DECLARATION BY CUSTOMER

I/we hereby declare that I/we have read the above and note and accept the rights of Cash Today concerning the collection and use of my/our personal identification and credit information.

Consent of consumer/s:

SECTION 2

Information Disclosure and Communications Under the SPAM Act 2003

You are informed that Section 16 of the Spam Act provides that Cash Today cannot communicate with you via a “commercial electronic message” (email, fax, SMS) without your consent.  As you would expect, for speed and convenience, where possible and with your permission, Cash Today would prefer to communicate with you using such electronic means.

Without your permission, written communications will have to be conveyed by Australia Post.

DECLARATION BY CUSTOMER

I/we hereby declare that I/we have read, understood and noted the above and hereby provide my/our express and informed consent for Cash Today to communicate with me/us electronically, via email, fax and/or SMS as relevant, address details for which we have willingly provided for contractual and communications purposes.

Consent of consumer/s:

SECTION 3

The Electronic Transactions Act 1999
You are informed that the Electronic Transactions Act requires that, before Cash Today can communicate with you electronically (email, fax, SMS), you also have to give permission under that Act for Cash Today to communicate with you in that way.

We seek your permission to:

  • electronically format and send you the information that we are obliged to provide under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 and associated Regulations;
  • send you electronic messages, rather than providing paper copies.

You are informed that, in giving this permission, you are agreeing to:

  • use the relevant computer programs and have sufficient internet capacity to interact with Cash Today’s system;
  • regularly check your email Inbox and/or fax machine and/or SMS Inbox;
  • not blame Cash Today if any properly sent electronic message does not reach you; and
  • notify Cash Today of any changes to your electronic addresses, and absolve Cash Today from any liability if you fail to do so.

We remind you that you can withdraw your permission for the above at any time, provided you give Cash Today 24 hours’ notice, confirming your current address and contact details.

DECLARATION BY CONSUMER/S

I/we hereby declare that I/we have read, understood and noted the above and hereby provide my/our express and informed consent for Cash Today to communicate with me/us electronically, under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 and associated Regulations.

Consent of consumer/s:

SECTION 4

Information Disclosure Under the Commonwealth Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Legislation

You are informed that, under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act), there are provisions for the use of credit reporting information to assist in identity verification.  By consenting to this section, you attest that Cash Today has informed you of the following statutory provisions. 

Under Section 35A(1), this can include the electronic provision of your name and/or address and/or date of birth, as you may have provided to us, to a credit reporting body.  This information can and frequently has to be provided to credit reporting bodies by Cash Today, for a matching process entailing comparison with personal information about you they already have on their files. 

If there is no satisfactory match found and/or the level of verification which we must seek, as part of both our AML/CTF responsibilities and our mandatory credit unsuitability/suitability assessment process under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 and associated Regulations, is not achieved, we must give you the opportunity to verify your identity by alternative means.

In these circumstances, if you choose not to attempt to verify your identity by contacting the credit reporting body yourself, or by alternative means, or your contact with the credit reporting body is unsuccessful, or we determine that the alternative has failed to provide adequate identity verification, we cannot give you a loan.  To do so would threaten our Australian Credit Licence.

Please note that we have to keep a record for 7 years, regarding which credit reporting body we contacted, the personal information we provided and the assessment with which we were supplied.

DECLARATION BY CONSUMER/S

I/we hereby declare that I/we have read, understood and noted the above and hereby provide my/our express and informed consent to allow Cash Today to undertake electronic or emailed verification of my/our identity.  

Consent of consumer/s:

GENERAL DECLARATION

I/we acknowledge and accept that the four sections of this document are part of a credit application and loan suitability assessment process and may also apply to the consequent loan administration and/or collection facilitation.
