Update to RG 209 – Credit Licensing; Responsible Lending Conduct
Submission to: Australian Securities and Investments Commission
Submission calls for AFCA to make it explicit that RG209 will be a relevant factor in resolving disputes about responsible lending; that compliance with RG209 should be a key commitment in industry codes that deal with lending under the National Credit Act; that the required inquiry and verification steps be set out in RG209; that these required steps not be reduced for any credit products; and that credit providers should be audited regularly.
