Why we ask for your information

As a responsible lender we are required under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (NCCP) to ensure that any loan we approve is not unsuitable. RentPay Technology Pty Ltd has complied with the modified responsible lending obligations under Pt 3-2BA of the National Credit Act, from the 10th of June 2025. This election relates to Low Cost Credit Contracts with a credit limit lower than $2,000.

We are obliged to ask you to provide specific information for us to make this assessment.

The law requires that we:

  1. Make reasonable inquiries about your requirements and objectives,
  2. Make reasonable inquiries about your financial situation,
  3. Identification information,
  4. Default information, and
  5. Payment information.

In short, we need to understand what you intend to use the loan proceeds on, verify your identity and understand your financial situation from credit bureau information.

How we assess your application

We collect information from various sources such as your credit bureau data, an identity verification, RentPay App usage data and potentially other sources. We then match the data we have collected and verified against our internal credit policies. The reason we do this is to make sure the loan is not unsuitable by:

  1. Making sure it meets your needs and objectives, and
  2. The Scorebuilder product is not unsuitable.

If a Scorebuilder low cost credit contract doesn’t meet your needs and objectives, or if it’s likely that you couldn’t pay or could only pay with substantial hardship then your application will be declined.

Accessing your credit assessment

RentBond Finance Pty Ltd is required by law to keep a copy of your Scorebuilder application on file for a period of seven (7) years. You can request a copy of the credit assessment of your application if it’s within seven years of the date of the loan contract. However, we’re only required to supply it if the assessment resulted in an active loan contract.

Credit reporting

Usage and behaviour on a Scorebuilder low cost credit contract will be reported to a credit bureau monthly regardless of a draw down or credit limit use. This means that users will be able to have behaviour, both positive and negative reported to a credit bureau monthly.

Internal dispute resolution

If you have a complaint, it can be lodged by contacting the Rent.com.au Internal Disputes Resolution Manager or by speaking to any representative of our business who will refer you to the Internal Disputes Resolution Manager.
