- if you are in Australia: the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles; and
- if you are in New Zealand: the Privacy Act 2020,
(each referred to as a “Privacy Act”), and the Credit Reporting Privacy Code applicable to your jurisdiction, as amended or replaced from time to time (“Privacy Laws”).
References to “you” or “your” in this Policy includes both individuals and, where you interact with us on behalf of a business, that business. This Policy applies not only to current customers or guarantors (where relevant) but also to any individual who interacts with us, whether in connection with the provision of credit or otherwise. By using our services or otherwise engaging with us, you acknowledge that we will handle your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide any personal information to us about another individual, you confirm that you are authorised to do so and that the individual has consented to the disclosure, collection, use and handling of their information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You must also inform them of their rights to access, as outlined below, and how they can access Prospa’s Privacy Policy.
2. What information we collect
We may collect your personal information from:
- You directly;
- Your authorised agent or representative;
- Third parties you have authorised to disclose information to us;
- Our service providers, marketing partners, and agents;
- Your financial service providers, advisers, brokers or employers;
- Government agencies, public records, and social media platforms.
We also collect information about you and your interactions with us, including when you:
- Enquire about, apply for, request or use our products or services;
- Make a card payment or transfer funds;
- Participate in a competition, promotion or survey;
- Contact us by phone or visit our websites.
In addition, we collect personal information about staff, prospective staff, contractors, suppliers, and details of individuals who work for contractors and suppliers, as well as other professional associates relevant to our operations.
Providing personal information is not mandatory. However, if you choose not to provide requested information, it may affect our ability to offer products or services or to engage with you effectively.
We may collect a range of personal information, including but not limited to:
- Key personal details, such as your name, residential and business addresses, telephone numbers, email and other electronic contact details, identity documents and biometric data (including a photo of your face);
- Financial and related information, including your occupation, financial records, bank account details, transaction history, assets, expenses, income, revenue, dependents, and information relating to your employment, financial and business dealings, and other relevant events;
- Transaction history, including interactions with Prospa, its associates, or relevant third-parties. This may include details of products or services you have used, your payment history, and the capacity in which you have engaged with us; and
- Other relevant information, which may include invoicing and accounting details, gender, marital status, tax file number, director identification number and other government issued identifiers, depending on the context.
2.1 Sensitive information
We may collect sensitive information, such as health-related information, where it is reasonably necessary for a specific purpose, such as assisting with a hardship application, debt recovery process or complaint. Sensitive information is used only for the purpose for which it was collected.
2.2 Bank statement information
If you consent to provide bank statements or use a third-party account aggregation, open banking or similar service in connection with your application or ongoing product management, you authorise us and our relevant service providers to collect and access banking transaction information made available through that service.
These providers may retrieve transactional data from any account associated with the login credentials you submit which may include both personal and business accounts. Through the use of such third-party service providers, we will obtain up to the last twelve (12) months of bank transactions when you apply for a product or service with us. We may also obtain further ongoing bank transactions during the term of the product or service we provide. This information is used for the purposes of assessing your application, administering our products and services, making future offers to you, meeting our audit, legal and regulatory obligations, and data analytics.
Where you use a third-party service provider, that provider may access your banking information in accordance with the permissions you provide and its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive your internet banking password, and our access is limited to the information made available through the relevant service.
We note that your bank’s terms may prohibit you from sharing your login, so you agree to appoint our third-party service provider as your agent to access your internet banking on your behalf solely for this purpose, and you consent to our ongoing access to this information.
You should review the terms and privacy policy of any third-party service provider before using that service, as they govern the provider’s actions or omissions in connection with that service.
2.3 Cookies
When you use our website or mobile applications, we may collect information about your location or activity including your IP address, telephone number and whether you have accessed third-party sites. Some of this information is collected using cookies. We also use cookies to enhance your user experience and to understand how you interact with our content.

Improvements in technology enable organisations to collect and use information to get a more integrated view of customers and provide better products and services. We may combine our customer information with information available from a wide variety of external sources (for example census or Bureau of Statistics data). We analyse this data to gain useful insights which can be used for any of the purposes mentioned in this policy. In addition, Group members may generate and share aggregated and de-identified insights, analytics and reports that do not reasonably identify you.
3.2 Use of Automated Decision Making
We may use automated tools, including artificial intelligence, to assist with parts of our assessment, verification, fraud detection, risk management, product administration and customer support processes. Where we use automated tools to make or assist decisions that may significantly affect you, we will provide information about this as required by law.

Where we send your information overseas, it is likely to be to countries where our Group members, service providers, technology providers, payment providers, rewards and fulfilment partners, or other third parties operate or hold data. These countries may include Canada, Hong Kong, India, the Philippines, Fiji, Singapore, Vietnam, the United Kingdom and/or the United States of America.
5. Credit reporting policy
If you apply to us for credit or propose to act as a guarantor, we need to assess your ability to meet repayments under your agreement with us. We also aim to avoid offering you further credit if doing so would put you in financial difficulty. As part of this assessment, we may obtain a credit report about you.
5.1 Credit reports
A credit report contains information about your credit history that helps credit providers assess your credit applications, verify identity and manage accounts. Credit reporting bodies collect and share this information with credit providers like us.
Credit reports may include information such as:
- Types of credit accounts held or applied for;
- Credit limits;
- Payment history;
- Public record information (e.g bankruptcies, court judgements).
We also request a creditworthiness score and other comprehensive credit information from credit reporting bodies as needed.
In addition, we may perform soft credit checks to provide tailored rate offers or for related purposes. These checks do not affect your credit score.
Applicable privacy and credit reporting laws regulate the types of information credit providers can disclose to credit reporting bodies or credit reporters, and how credit reports and credit-related information may be used.
We may use one or more of the following credit reporting bodies:

6. Keeping your information secure
We store your records, both hard-copy and electronic on our premises, systems, or offsite using trusted third-party providers. Whilst we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, no system can guarantee absolute security. Our security safeguards include:
- Staff training and awareness;

It’s important that we hold accurate and up to date information about you, such as your current address and contact details. You can check or update your information online, by email or by phone.
You may also request that we hold or have disclosed to others (including credit-related information). If the corrected information has been shared with third parties, you may ask us to notify them of the correction. If your request relates to credit-related information provided by others, we may need to consult with credit reporting bodies or other credit providers.
If we agree to make a correction, we’ll notify you once it’s complete. No fee applies to correction requests.
If we do not agree that the information should be corrected, we’ll explain our reasons in writing. You may then request that we include a statement with the relevant information, indicating your view that the information is inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, irrelevant or out-of-date. We will take reasonable steps to comply with such a request.

In the Online Terms, “you”, “your”, and “yours” refers to the person using the Digital Channels and “we”, “us” and “our” refers to Prospa.

Please read this document carefully as it sets out the terms under which you access and use the Digital Channels. Each time you use the Digital Channels, your use indicates your acknowledgement and acceptance of these Online Terms.
The terms and conditions applicable to products and services offered by Prospa, or terms of any other agreement between you and Prospa apply in addition to these Online Terms. To the extent there is any inconsistency between these Online Terms and the terms of the product or service or other agreements, the terms of the specific product or service or other agreement will prevail.
These Online Terms irrevocably govern the access and use of the Digital Channels. Any reference to other terms & conditions about the access and use of Digital Channels should be interpreted as a reference to these Terms.

Digital Channels can be used to create and access your account. There are two types of accounts: a Customer Account and a Partner Account (together, we refer to these as your “Account”). Prospa reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create an Account for you after receiving your application.1.3Customer Account
1.3.1 Customer Account
A Customer Account is the online profile opened for a customer through the Digital Channels. A Customer Account is associated with your email address and your business’ ABN, and is not a product account (such as a loan account or business account). Only one Customer Account may be opened per ABN.
To open a Customer Account, you must:
- provide the information requested by Prospa during account opening, including your contact details and business’ ABN;
- confirm that you are authorised to open and operate the Customer Account on behalf of the business associated with the relevant ABN; and

- access specific information in connection with past and current Prospa products, including viewing your product balances and performing transactions;
- apply for Prospa or affiliate products;
- update your information;
- communicate with Prospa; or
- access information about Prospa products and services.
1.3.2 Partner Account and Partner Portal Access
This section 1.3.2 applies to Prospa’s accredited brokers and referral partners (“Partners”) and governs access to the Partner Portal. Partner Portal can be accessed via the Prospa App or via a compatible browser.
Prospa may grant Partners access to the Partner Portal by way of a dedicated Partner Account. “Partner Account” means the unique, personalised access point associated with a Partner’s registered email address, created for that Partner upon registration with or accreditation by Prospa, and used to access the Partner Portal.
Access to the Partner Portal allows Partners to:
- refer leads or submit applications to Prospa on behalf of customers;
- view draft and submitted applications;
- view commission details; and
- view and access training materials and other important documents.
Access to the Partner Portal is granted by Prospa and is subject to any applicable accreditation or partner agreement between Prospa and the relevant Partner.
