Affiliates
Centrepoint Finance is committed to keeping up to date with the latest industry developments and compliance requirements. Our affiliations with the following industry groups ensure we operate under a strict code of ethics and compliance guidelines.
CAFBA (Commercial Asset Finance Brokers Association of Australia)
In February 2008, two major state based finance industry associations merged to form the first national professional body representing Commercial Asset Finance Brokers.
Membership in CAFBA assures potential borrowers and lenders that the broker involved has been accepted by his peers within the industry as suitably qualified by background and reputation so as to be elected to membership.
FBAA (Finance Brokers Association of Australia)
The FBAA is also a national industry body representing all finance and mortgage brokers. One of its key functions is to act as a lobbyist to both the various state and federal governments. Its objectives are based on integrity, personal growth, representation, organisation and management standards.
COSL (Credit Ombudsman Service Limited)
Centrepoint Finance Pty Ltd 411847 - "Membership of COSL and the use of the COSL Logo is not to be taken as an endorsement by COSL of the Member, its products, services, or financial position."
COSL provides a free, independent dispute resolution service for the credit industry. They investigate complaints on the consumer's behalf. If a dispute cannot be resolved with the member concerned (i.e. the broker, or lender) COSL will endeavour to resolve the complaint through conciliation. If needed they can make a decision called an award that is binding to the member concerned. More details are available at www.creditombudsman.com.au.
