Complaints Policy

Last updated: May 2026 • Lyft Capital Pty Ltd (trading as EquipPay)

EquipPay is committed to handling complaints fairly, promptly, and transparently. This policy sets out how to make a complaint and how we will deal with it. We are required under our Australian Credit Licence (ACL 541052) to maintain and comply with an Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) process that meets the standards set by ASIC Regulatory Guide 271.

1. Who Can Complain

Any person who has interacted with EquipPay's platform or services may make a complaint, including:

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction made about EquipPay, our products, services, staff, or the handling of a complaint, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected or legally required.

2. What You Can Complain About

You can make a complaint about any aspect of EquipPay's conduct, including:

If your complaint relates to a decision made by an independent lender (such as a declined application or the interest rate offered), we will assist you in directing that complaint to the relevant lender.

3. How to Lodge a Complaint

You can submit a complaint through any of the following channels:

4. Our Internal Dispute Resolution Process

Complaints are managed by EquipPay's Complaints Officer, who has authority to investigate and resolve complaints in accordance with this policy.

When we receive your complaint, we will follow these steps:

Step 1
Acknowledgement
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 1 business day of receiving it.
Step 2
Investigation
We will investigate your complaint thoroughly, fairly, and independently. We may contact you for further information.
Step 3
IDR Response
We will provide a written IDR response within 30 calendar days of receiving your complaint.
Step 4
Escalation Rights
If unresolved, our response will include information on how to escalate to AFCA at no cost to you.

Timeframes

We aim to resolve all complaints within 30 calendar days. For complex complaints, we may require up to 45 calendar days. If we need more time, we will notify you before the 30-day period expires, explain the reason for the delay, and give you an estimated resolution date.

If you have not received a response within 30 days, you may escalate directly to AFCA without waiting for our response.

For complaints involving a default notice, hardship notice, or request for postponement of enforcement proceedings, we will provide a response within 21 calendar days, in accordance with RG 271.

What Our IDR Response Will Include

Our written response will tell you:

5. If You Are Not Satisfied — External Dispute Resolution

If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, or if you have not received a response within the required timeframe, you have the right to escalate your complaint to an external dispute resolution body at no cost to you.

Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA)

AFCA provides free, independent, and accessible dispute resolution for financial services complaints. EquipPay is a member of AFCA (membership number 93387). AFCA can deal with complaints about credit assistance, finance applications, and related financial services.

6. Complaints About Lenders

EquipPay is a credit assistance provider — we do not make credit decisions. If your complaint relates to a decision made by a lender (such as a declined application, the interest rate or fees offered, or the conduct of the lender after settlement), you should contact that lender directly using the contact details in your loan documents.

All lenders on our panel are AFCA members and have their own IDR processes. If you need help identifying the right contact at a lender, please contact us and we will assist you.

7. Accessibility and Assistance

We are committed to making our complaints process accessible to everyone. If you require assistance making a complaint — for example, if English is not your first language, or if you have a disability that affects how you communicate — please let us know and we will make reasonable adjustments to assist you.

You are also welcome to have a representative (such as a legal adviser, financial counsellor, or support person) lodge or assist with a complaint on your behalf.

Free debt and financial counselling for small business is available through the Small Business Debt Helpline: 1800 413 828 | www.sbdh.org.au

8. Record Keeping and Continuous Improvement

We maintain a record of all complaints received and our responses, in accordance with our obligations under ASIC Regulatory Guide 271 and applicable privacy laws. We regularly review complaint data to identify trends and improve our products, services, and processes.
