What is credit reporting?

What is credit reporting?

Lenders within the Australian finance industry, such as Newcastle Permanent, use credit reporting to better understand risks associated with granting individual customers access to our products and services.

Credit reports are supplied by credit reporting bodies and contain personal information relating to an individual’s current and previous credit accounts, types of credit, credit limits and payment history. Due to the personal nature of this information, credit reporting is regulated by the Privacy Act 1988.
