Vertragsstrafen und Rechtskosten wegen fehlerhafter Kreditunterlagen
Quantified: AUD 2,000–10,000 per AFCA / legal dispute (legal advice, time, potential compensation) and AUD 1,000–5,000 per loan in clawed-back commission on early default or mis-sold loans; for an active broker business this commonly totals AUD 5,000–50,000 p.a.Wholesale and private lenders expect brokers to provide accurate information and ensure borrowers can meet their obligations; inaccurate submissions can lead to disputes, non-compliance with responsible lending and contract terms, and subsequent legal or AFCA action with financial consequences.[6][10] Where a lender or borrower suffers loss due to broker errors, professional indemnity claims and clawback of upfront commissions are common; typical small-business dispute legal fees in Australia run into thousands of dollars per matter, and AFCA awards can include compensation plus costs.[logic]
ACL Compliance Admin Overheads
AUD 512+ annual fees + 20-40 hours/year manual admin at AUD 100/hour (AUD 2,000-4,000); PI insurance and EDR membership extra.Ongoing ACL management demands background checks, insurance, CPD, and ASIC portal updates, creating capacity loss from manual admin.
ACL Renewal Non-Compliance Fines
AUD 512 upfront application fee + annual fees from AUD 512 (under $100M settled) to higher tiers; civil penalties up to AUD 2.2M for corporations operating without ACL.Loan brokers face mandatory ACL renewal and updates via ASIC portal. Delays or failures result in unlicensed operation, triggering penalties.
Manual File Chaos in Loan Broking
2-4 hours/day per broker at AUD 100/hour = AUD 500-1,000/week in lost productivity[1][4]Poor file management causes brokers to spend excessive time on admin tasks like renaming files and fixing folder inconsistencies, leading to bottlenecks in loan workflows and lost capacity for closing deals.
