Who we can collect information about you from, and who we can give it to

You allow us to both provide your information to third parties, and collect your information from third parties. This will let us do what we have described in How we can use information about you.

If we give information about you to someone for any of the reasons described in that section, when it is appropriate (given the reasons for disclosure) we’ll require them to keep it confidential and secure. They may use it only for the purpose that we give it to them or as permitted by law.

These are the people and organisations you allow us to get information from, or give information about you to. They may be in New Zealand or overseas.

We can get information from, or give information about you to:

• You, co-borrowers, your agents, authorised signatories, or customers you are an authorised signatory for
  
• Your parents or guardians – if you’re under 18 years old
• Guarantors of any money you owe us

  • When either of us are investigating fraud, suspicious transactions or unlawful activity

From time to time, we collect information about you from public sources.

We may also need to know information about third parties which:

• Owns you
• Controls you
• Have authority to act or instruct us on your behalf.

For example, these third parties may be your authorised signatories, directors, officers, employees, trustees, partners, shareholders, those who established a trust or the beneficiaries of a trust.

We can ask these people for the information directly or, if they allow you to provide it, ask you for the information.

We must comply with laws in New Zealand and overseas. You agree we can give information about you to the police, other financial institutions or government agencies in New Zealand or overseas:

• To comply with the law
  
• To help us decide how to comply with the law
• If we believe the information will help prevent, investigate or take action in respect of actual or suspected financial crime including fraud, suspicious transactions, money laundering, or other crimes.

You agree to give us any information we ask for if we believe we need it to comply with the law in New Zealand or overseas.

We may not be allowed to tell you if we give out information about you. We’re not responsible to you or anyone else if we give information about you for these reasons.
