This form is for applying to be a member of the Financial Ombudsman Service if you are an:

Authorised Credit Representative (ACR)

    • A credit card to pay the $55 (inc GST) application cost which will also cover your membership until 30 June 2012. The annual membership fee for an ACR is currently $66.

  • Any dispute we receive about you from one of your customers will be sent to your licensee for resolution by their dispute resolution area.

  • As we will deal primarily with the licensee, we can disclose information about you to them including the status of your membership and details of the dispute. This also means the costs of the dispute will be charged to the licensee but if they fail to pay you may become liable for these case costs.
