Our services
shesonthemoney.com.au was established to provide consumers with the information and tools they need to understand and compare a range of products and services – including deposit products and life insurance.
We believe that by helping you to compare and understand financial and insurance products we're helping you to take control of your financial situation. The factual information and general advice we provide can help you make better decisions and free you from financial anxiety. Although we'll only provide you with factual information and general advice, if you need professional advice tailored to your specific needs and circumstances we can refer you to a professional adviser.
Our products and services
We provide comparative information and general advice on savings accounts, term deposits, superannuation, managed investment schemes, securities, life insurance and income protection products.
Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of providers, we don't cover every product available and you should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs.
We are authorised to provide general advice and deal in superannuation, securities, managed investment schemes, life insurance products, basic deposit products and term deposits. The advice we provide is in the form of comparative information on the financial products listed on our website. We can provide you with information on these products and, should you wish to purchase a product, we can refer you to the product provider.
In some cases, we'll need to collect certain information from you to provide you with a quote. Please understand that we don't recommend that a specific product is appropriate for you because we don't know enough about your circumstances to provide you with personal advice, so you have to consider your own situation and needs to determine the appropriateness of the information we provide.
We don't provide personal financial product advice so you'll never receive a Statement of Advice ("SoA") from us.
Product information
Should you decide to purchase any of the products about which we provide factual information or general advice, we encourage you to read the Product Disclosure Statement ("PDS") for that product. The PDS is designed to assist you to understand the financial product, its risks and benefits as well as the fees and charges.
The PDS can be found on the provider's websites.
Our remuneration
We may earn income from generating qualified referrals to financial institutions, financial advisers, mortgage brokers and accountants. If you visit a provider's website via our website, we may get paid either for that click itself or if you transact with the provider. Some examples include applying for insurance, opening a savings account or completing an application form on the provider's website. We receive commission share on referrals to third party advice providers and they will disclose this in their advice to you.
Protecting your privacy
The privacy of your personal information is important to us and we respect your confidentiality. We won't ask you for information we don't need but, in order to provide quotes and some comparative information, we may collect some personal information from you.
You have the right not to provide the personal information we request, but this may compromise the effectiveness of the advice or information you receive. Rest assured that any personal information we collect or receive will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
