Association guidance describes aggregators as potentially providing systems, compliance support, lender-panel access and a credit-representative pathway. These are possible services, not verified terms for every organisation.

What belongs in the actual agreement?

Ask about authority, onboarding, support, costs and access in the written contract. Confirm which approvals remain separate and seek suitable review before committing. Neither the Certificate IV nor this guide guarantees aggregator acceptance.
