Credit Guide
Last updated: October 2026
This credit guide provides you with the key information you need to know to make an informed and confident choice when engaging our services.

2. Services we provide
We will help you choose a loan or lease which we believe is in your best interests. We will provide you with information on a broad range of lenders and make a recommendation based upon what you tell us is most important to you. Once you have chosen a loan or lease that is suitable for you, we will help you obtain an approval. We source finance from a panel of financiers. The full list of financiers on our current panel, and the lenders your credit representative is accredited with, is available on request.
3. Our responsible lending obligations
Under the NCCP Act, we are obliged to ensure that any loan or principal increase to a loan we make and any lease we enter with you is suitable to your needs and objectives. To decide this, we will need to ask you some questions in order to assess whether the loan or lease meets these requirements. The law requires us to:
- Make reasonable enquiries about your requirements and objectives
- Make reasonable enquiries about your financial situation
- Take reasonable steps to verify that financial situation
In order for us to discharge our obligation in assessing your application for credit assistance, it is important that we have all available, accurate, current and relevant information.
If you are unable for whatever reason to provide the information required to assess your personal and financial circumstances we may not be in a position to make a recommendation to you.
Credit will be unsuitable if at the time of the assessment, it is likely that at the time the credit is provided:
- You could not pay or only pay with substantial hardship
- The credit will not meet your requirements and objectives
For example, if you can only repay by selling your principal place of residence, it is presumed that the loan will cause substantial hardship unless the contrary is proved. For this reason, we must ask you to provide a significant amount of information. It is therefore very important that the information you provide us is accurate.
We must provide you with a copy of our preliminary credit assessment of your application if you ask within 7 years of when we assist you. We are only required to give you a copy of the credit assessment if we give you credit assistance.
If we arrange a loan for you to purchase or refinance real estate, remember you must make your own enquiries about the value of the real estate and its potential for future growth. Although we may obtain a valuation, that is for our own use and you should not rely on it.
4. Acting in your best interests
When providing credit assistance, we are obliged to act in your best interests (Best Interests Duty). This means that any products we recommend to you must be in your best interests, and the reasons for these recommendations will be documented, recorded, and explained and provided to you. In order to ensure your best interests have been met, we will assess what product(s) and what credit assistance will be in your best interests.
This recommendation will include information about why this is in your best interests and how it is aligned to your needs and objectives.
In the case of actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest, we will disclose these to you and prioritise your interests ahead of our own in all circumstances. This includes giving priority to your interests in situations where we know, or ought to reasonably know there is a conflict between the interests of you and the interest of ourselves or a third party.
5. Fees payable by you
As the licensee, we do not charge you for our services as we are paid commission by the financier. However, our credit representative may charge a fee and you may need to pay the financier's application fee, valuation fees, and other fees. We will communicate any fees when providing you with credit assistance.
Your credit representative may charge a fee for their services. More details about the fees payable by you will be set out in a Quote and Proposal document which they will give you before a finance application is lodged. You may obtain from them information about how these fees and charges are worked out and a reasonable estimate of those fees.
Ugur Ozer does not charge you a fee for credit assistance.
6. Commissions received by us
We may receive commissions from the lenders and lessors who provide finance for our customers. These are not fees payable by you. The percentage of the commission varies, however generally ranges between 0.60% and 0.75%. We will provide you with full details on the nature and amount of these commissions and you can obtain additional information about this by asking us.
Your credit representative may receive all or part of the commissions and fees referred to above directly or indirectly from the licensee. You can obtain information from them about a reasonable estimate of those commissions and how the commission is worked out.
7. Commissions payable by us
We source referrals from a broad range of sources. For example, we may pay fees to call centre companies, real estate agents, accountants, or lawyers for referring you to us. These referral fees accord with usual business practice and not payable by you. We will disclose the nature and amount of these and you can obtain additional information about these commissions by asking us.
8. Other benefits and tiered services
Your credit representative must maintain a centralised register recording all forms of gifts, hospitality and other related remuneration. It is available to you upon request.
Your credit representative may have access to tiered servicing arrangement with certain credit providers. A tiered servicing arrangement provides non-monetary benefits such as providing preferential service which can assist your credit representative in achieving better outcomes for you. Examples include faster reviews by lender credit analysts and/or application turnaround times. The list of any tiered servicing arrangements they have is available on request. Where your credit representative makes a recommendation to a lender with whom they have one of these arrangements, this will be disclosed to you.
