Hay is an Australian Financial Services Licensee, Licence No. 515459. Customers should contact Prospa directly for all account and service queries.
- What kinds of financial products and services can Prospa promote on behalf of Hay Limited?
Prospa has integrated the Hay non-cash payment product into their broader service offerings. Prospa is authorised under an agreement by Hay to market, promote and distribute a non-cash payment product to business clients.
The Card is a facility for making non-cash payments (a Debit Visa product) issued by Hay.
This means that Prospa can:
- Arrange for the issue of the Card by Hay to you;
- Provide factual information in relation to the Hay issued Card; and
- Publish or issue certain promotional material in relation to the Card.
Prospa and its associated companies are not authorised to provide (and Hay itself does not provide) personal advice about financial products. Personal advice is advice when your objectives, financial situation or needs have been or would be expected to be considered. This means that Prospa will not take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account whenever it gives general information (in publishing or issuing promotional material) about the Card.
It is your responsibility to decide whether any general information given by Prospa in its promotional material is suitable for you, or to get personal advice from a financial adviser who holds an Australian Financial Services licence or who is an Authorised Representative of an Australian Financial Services licence and who is authorised to provide personal advice.
Prospa will only provide factual information on the relevant non-cash payment products. Prospa cannot advise you on, or influence you in favour of, a financial product that is not a product that we are authorised to provide advice on.
Please be aware that Hay shall not be responsible where the Prospa Representative provides any services to you, which are outside of their authorisation limits. You should therefore ask the Prospa Representative to confirm specifically that the service or product relates to deposit and non-cash payment products, prior to acting on any information.
