We take information security seriously and have processes in place to ensure that your private information is secure. We will never sell your information to a third party. For more information please see our privacy policy.

How many orders can I have and how much can I spend?
To start off, you will only be allowed to have 1 order approved in the first 24 hours.
Your approved spending limit with us will depend on our assessment of your ability to make repayments. Before making a purchase with etika, it’s important that you consider your financial commitments and make sure that you can afford this purchase.
The longer you are with us and pay on time, your spending limits will likely increase, and you should be able to carry out more orders at one time.

Does signing up affect my credit rating?
No, the check we perform on you when you sign up with us, to ensure that your purchase falls within your means, does not affect your credit rating.
However, should you fall significantly behind in your repayments and if you do not contact us to come to a payment arrangement, a credit default will be registered.

Why was my application refused?
It could be for a number of reasons;
- We were not able to verify your identity
- You do not live in Australia
- You are not over 18 years old
- You do not have a valid and verifiable email address and mobile phone number
- You do not have a verifiable and valid ID
- You do not have an Australian debit or credit card
- You did not pass our credit check. We perform a credit check on all etika customers. If your application is refused, it means the information held about you by our credit reporting agency does not meet our lending criteria. Or, it could mean that you do not have a substantial enough credit file yet. You would have received an email from us with contact information of the credit reporting agency if you have any further questions.
