How to remove restricted card
Hi Ravi,
Thank you for leaving a question.
Depending on the restriction given on your card, you may have this clarified with the provider as to the details of the restriction. Once you have this information, you may check on options to lift the restrictions based on the policies given by the provider. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie

I wish to buy $50 AUD gift card online. How do I do that? I want a code to send to a friend overseas.
Hi Neil,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Since you wish to buy a 50AUD-gift card online, you may want to check out this link for some gift cards on sale. You may also want to check out this link for more gift card info. Sending the code to a friend overseas might be a challenge so I suggest that you check if the country that your friend is situated now can redeem the gift card that you are sending him/her.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day!

Why am I being charged a fee when I dont have a membership. I have rung up and there is no account for me. Can you look into this please,
Thank you
Hi Joanne,
Thank you for your inquiry. To help you further, may I know which account or membership you are referring to?
Just a friendly reminder, we are finder.com.au, a comparison website. We don’t charge our users of any fee. Moreover, please note that we are not affiliated to any company we feature on our site.
For the meantime, I would suggest that you check the letter or whichever you got the information from since you mentioned that you have rung them but verified that you don’t have an account with them.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Jeni
Finder is super useful and I trust it a lot! How come you don’t include options like Afterpay.com.au or Sitizen.com.au in your personal loan pages?
Hi Brett,
Thanks for reaching out.
Afterpay is actually not a loan company or a credit union. Unlike personal loans, you don’t need to be approved for an account. The requirements only include being at least 18 years of age, a valid email address and have a credit or debit card you can link your account to. For citizen to partner with us or should they want to be featured on our website, they just need to create a request.
Cheers,
Joanne
I wanted to check my credit score and see if I’m able to apply for any loans but I don’t have a drivers licence is there any other form of I’d I can enter and is there any fees to see my credit score
Hello,
The free credit score service that we feature on this page is provided by Equifax and would require a valid Australian driver’s licence so that they can verify your identity and to ensure that only you can access your credit score.
If you do not have an Australian Driver’s licence, you may request for a more detailed credit report instead to gain access to your credit file.
To get your free credit report from Equifax, please check out this page
Note that it might take some time to get your free credit report.
Alternatively, you may also order your credit report and have it sent to you in 1 business day for a fee. Please check out this link for the paid option to get your credit report.
Hope this helped.
Cheers,
Gru

My credit points.
Hi,
Welcome to finder.
If you are trying to get a free credit score, you can go to this page and fill out the form. It only accepts details from a valid Australian driver’s licence. You can also get helpful information on this page on how to understand your credit score.
Hope this helps.

Hi. I just like to know how you work my credit rating out.
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your question. Just to confirm, you have reached finder.com.au – a comparison website and general information service, not actually a credit rating agency.
The credit score we provide is calculated by Equifax, a credit rating company and they use the information on your credit file to do this. You may refer to this guide for more information on how your score is calculated. Moreover, you can access your credit score every six months for free with finder. In order to get started, you can go through our step-by-step guide to getting your free credit score on this page.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,
Liezl
Hi There,
I have life insurance already with you and was just wanting to be able to log in and check out my details?
Hi Dean,
Thank you for your inquiry.
You have contacted finder.com.au, a comparison and information service and not actually an insurer. You will need to contact your insurer in order to check your policy details.
Cheers,
Zubair
