About Credit & Lending AFSL Licence Search

Search the credit AFSL register — AFSL holders with credit and lending-related authorisations under the AFS licensing regime. Check AFSL number, status, ABN, ACN.

Use this credit AFSL search to find Australian Financial Services Licence holders authorised for credit activities. Look up a credit licensee by company name, AFSL number, ABN or ACN, and review the licence status, conditions and authorisations attached to each credit AFSL.

Every record in the credit register below is drawn from the public ASIC AFSL dataset and refreshed monthly. For high-stakes verification, also confirm details on ASIC Connect.

What is a credit AFSL?

A credit AFSL is an Australian Financial Services Licence that ASIC has authorised to provide financial services in relation to credit-related financial services linked to AFSL authorisations, often alongside Australian Credit Licence (ACL) activities. The credit register listed here shows every AFSL holder authorised for credit activities, with the AFSL number, registered state, status and licence conditions visible on each record.

What a credit licence covers

A credit AFSL typically covers advising on or arranging credit products, where the activity is captured by the AFSL regime in addition to or alongside an ACL. The exact authorisations on any specific credit licence are set out in the AFSL conditions — open a record to review them in full.

Who typically holds a credit AFSL

AFSL holders who also engage in credit activities, often holding both an AFSL and an Australian Credit Licence are the most common credit AFSL holders. Authorised representatives operating under those licensees also appear in the AFS Representatives register and can be looked up alongside their licensee.

Who needs a credit AFSL

Some credit-related activities sit under the AFSL regime in addition to the ACL regime. A credit AFSL with the right authorisations may be required alongside an Australian Credit Licence.

How to use this credit AFSL search

Every row in the credit register below is a clickable credit AFSL record. You can refine the credit AFSL search by state, paginate through the results, or open a licensee detail page to see the full credit licence record.

Search by credit licensee name

Type the business name into the global AFSL search box to run a credit licensee lookup across the AFSL register and any matching credit, DCE or remittance records held by the same entity.

Search by AFSL number, ABN or ACN

If you already have a credit licensee's AFSL number, ABN or ACN, the global search box accepts all four identifiers and resolves to the matching credit AFSL record. Useful for verifying a credit AFSL by its unique number.

Filter the credit register by state

Use the state filter above the table to narrow the credit AFSL register to a specific Australian jurisdiction — handy when you need a credit licensee that operates in a particular state or territory.

About the credit register data

Source and refresh of the credit register

Credit & Lending data is normalised from the public ASIC AFSL register. Licence status, conditions and authorisations are mirrored as ASIC publishes them — we do not edit or override regulator decisions on any credit AFSL.

Officially verifying a credit AFSL

For any high-stakes confirmation of a credit AFSL — onboarding, KYC, counterparty checks — always verify on ASIC Connect. AFSL Search is an independent lookup tool and is not the official credit register.
