The purpose of this document

This Guide provides you with important information about our obligations and your rights in relation to consumer lending products regulated by the National Credit Code. The Credit Guide is designed to help you understand the services that we are authorised to provide and to decide whether you wish to use the services we offer.

 

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.  

 

Remuneration and costs

The services ShopBack Australia provides is not directly influenced by product manufacturers. We may receive remuneration from product issuers should you proceed to open an account. 

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. 

We don’t deal with all providers in the market and our partnerships will change from time to time.
