AFIA Online Small Business Lenders Code of Practice


Lodge A Complaint

If you have a complaint against an AOSBL Member you must have first fully exhausted their own internal complaints procedures and those of the Australia Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) or the ‘Ombudsman’ and received their final adjudications on the matter before you can request AFIA to conciliate on your behalf. If you’ve done that, please provide the following details so that AFIA can begin to assist you with this process.

*Note AFIA has no jurisdiction to deal with complaints against it’s members outside Australia. Only AOSBL members operating within Australia are subject to our Code of Practice and we are therefore unable to invoke our Complaint Handling Service for such complaints.
