About us
ShopBack Australia is the leading rewards and discovery platform in Australia. We help customers save money across a wide range of categories including financial services.
We provide offers on creditcards. We don’t cover every product available and you should read the relevant disclosure documents provided by the credit provider and consider whether the products featured on our platforms are appropriate for your needs. We won’t recommend that a particular credit product is suitable for you or appropriate for your requirements and objectives because we can’t know your specific circumstances.
By providing you with information we are not providing credit assistance or suggesting or assisting you to apply for, remain in, or increase your credit limit with a particular credit provider. If we refer you to a credit provider or provider of credit assistance you will be dealing directly with them and not with us.
If you have more questions about the products or their terms and conditions, or wonder whether a particular product will suit you, we recommend that you obtain professional advice.

We do not charge you for our servies, ShopBack is a free platform. We earn income from hosting advertisements or sponsored posts and by generating referrals to credit providers. A referral may be generated when you visit a credit provider’s website via a link from our website, social post or social profile. We may get paid by the credit provider based on actions you take such as clicking a link, completing an application or your activity on that account. You do not pay this amount.
