We commit to being an ethical credit provider which means we take a few things into consideration when assessing your application, including, in some cases, performing a credit check. We will let you know if this case. The credit check we perform will be recorded on your credit file as a credit enquiry in accordance with our terms and conditions.
Like with any form of credit, failing to meet your repayment obligations may result in a credit default being registered against you which may impact your future eligibility for credit.
Based on our assessment of your application we are not confident you will be able to meet the repayment obligations for the amount you requested.
However, we are able to lend you up to the amount we have advised you of when applying. If you would like to proceed with the new and lower amount, you will need to re-apply.
Unfortunately, we are not confident enough in your ability to meet the repayment obligations for this loan.
Factors we rely on when assessing loans include:
You will receive a payment schedule and the payments will come out automatically. We will let you know the payment is due one day beforehand, via email and SMS.
If you have a payment due with us we can take it from an alternate card stored on your account. You will need to log into your account and add and set your alternative card to 'Make this card primary'. If your lost or stolen card is the only one on our system but you do have another card, you can add this extra card to the system and we can take your payment from that one. Remember, we only accept Mastercard or Visa card issued by an Australian financial institution.
If you've got a payment coming up but you don't have any way to pay - just call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us if it’s outside of business hours.
We will try to sort something out with you.
We do not charge any additional amounts for payment of loans from a credit card.
We encourage you to check with your card issuer (bank), as they may see these payments as cash advances, which may incur a fee and interest charges from the date of payment.
We would also like to make you aware that any payments made from a credit card which are not paid off during any interest free period, may also be subject to interest from your financial institution.
If you require further clarification of the impacts of paying with a credit card, please contact your financial institution directly.
If you need to cancel a direct debit request for an active or complete loan with etika, please call us on 1300 324 737. To discuss your cancellation request we’ll need to verify your identity and the details of the direct debit request. Please have the following information ready:
Of course you can. If you want to make an additional payment to your loan, you will need to login to your account.
We will put the additional payment towards any outstanding amount. If you don’t have an outstanding amount (or you make a payment greater than the outstanding amount) you will be able to decide how to apply the payment to your loan.
Alternatively, just call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) during business hours and we will assist you.
Have you already created an account and password? If not, just go to our website, select 'Sign-up' and follow the prompts.
If you’ve already made a purchase, then you will already have an account and you might just have forgotten your password or used the wrong log-in email.
If you can’t remember which email address you used, try searching your inboxes for any emails from us.
The emails will come from support.au@etika.com.
If it’s your password that’s the problem, just click on 'Forgot password?' to create a new one.
If none of the above works, just call us on 1300-FAIRER(324737) and we can solve it for you, no problem.
Your account is most likely on hold if you are behind in payments. This means that any new purchases are blocked.
Just make a payment by logging into your account and clicking on 'Make payment' and you should be able to make a purchase again.
There are other possible reasons too and if a late payment is not the reason – just call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us if it’s outside of business hours.
Make sure that, if you have multiple email addresses, that you are using the email address you provided when you made your first etika purchase. If you can’t remember which email address you used, try searching your inboxes for any emails from us.
Another option is that it could have ended up in your junk or spam mail. If all else fails – just call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us if it’s outside of business hours.
You can always add a new card to your account by clicking on 'Add Credit Card' in the 'Wallet' section on the home page.
One of your cards will always be listed as your 'Primary' card. This is the card any due payments will be taken from. You can add a new card to your account at any time.
If you have any questions, just call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us if it’s outside of business hours.
If you suspect that your account has been accessed by someone other than yourself, please notify us immediately by calling 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us if it’s outside of business hours.
We also suggest you change your password as soon as possible, by clicking on 'Forgot your password?'.
Of course you can always close your account, although we’re sorry to see you go!
If nothing is owing on the account, just call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us if it’s outside of business hours.
If you do not let us know beforehand, that you won’t be able to make a payment, or if your payment method is not up-to-date – your card may have expired for example - we will try and debit your nominated card on your repayment date. If this payment fails, we may get charged a dishonour fee by your bank or card company.
We simply pass on the exact costs your bank or card provider charge us for the failed payment. There is no administration or late fee from us.
To prevent this from happening, ensure your payment method remains up to date. And if you are experiencing problems paying off your loan, please call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) or email us and let us know as soon as possible, before the payment is due.
If you have a concern with a specific purchase, you should always contact the business that you bought from, first. This is often the fastest and easiest way to resolve any issues. If you attempted to contact the business in question and were unable to resolve it directly with them or for any complaints regarding our services, please email us to lodge a dispute.
When you have legally changed your name you will need to provide supporting documents such as a marriage certificate or change of name certificate. You can email us or call us on 1300-FAIRER (324737) during business hours and we will assist you.
Remember to provide your etika order number to assist us in locating your details.
If you want a refund on a purchase through etika, you'll need to contact our partner directly and follow their normal refunds process.
After you return goods to one of our partners before the end of your loan and/or if they agree to a refund, your etika account will be credited with the agreed refund amount. The funds will then be put towards any balance currently owing on your account.
After our partner has approved a refund, the following will happen;
Partial Refunds
We will update your payment schedule by reducing the instalments or processing a refund back to your card where required. The refund is applied to the last instalment first, then the before last instalment and so on.
For example: If the order value is $100 and you have only made a $25 payment - if a refund of $60 has been agreed on, we will cancel your 4th and 3rd instalments of $25, and reduce the 2nd instalment to $15. You will pay the 2nd instalment of $15 as per your payment schedule.
Full Refunds
We will automatically cancel your payment schedule, so you are no longer charged for the order. We will process a refund of your upfront payment and any other payments you may have made, back to your card.
For example: If the order value is $100 and you have paid 2 instalments of $25 we would cancel the 3rd and 4th instalment and process a $50 refund (i.e. $25 X 2 instalments).
We recommend you contact the business you purchased from, directly.
They need to process the refund from their end, after you have returned the goods and they have decided that you are within your rights for a refund according to their return policy. We must wait for this to happen before we can settle your account. But we can’t control the speed at which our partner does this, unfortunately.
We will of course refund any payments you made while you were waiting for your refund to be processed, once our partner approves it.
If you need help resolving a returns dispute with a partner because you’re unable to resolve the dispute directly with them, please get in touch with us and let us know what’s happening.
It will be after your first month of activity tracking with AIA is complete. We will also send you an email when you sign up, specifying when exactly your first payment needs to be made.
If you have any concerns with your AIA activity points or the co-contribution to your loan that was made by AIA, you should always contact AIA first on 1800 848 254.
