The Company is a financial services intermediary and is not a financial services provider. These financial services are provided by other third-party financial services providers and the final decision belongs to You in whether to accept their offer of financial services. The service of the Company is to link You with such third-party financial services providers but it does not and is not intended to provide financial services or any action that can be construed in any way as an act of a financial services provider. The Company is not responsible or liable for the acts and/or omissions of any third-party financial services provider and/or any financial services provided to You.
HOW WE OPERATE
The Company is a financial services intermediary that supports financial service brokers in comparing the prices of various general financial services and banking products in Singapore offered to their customers in Singapore. The Company works with third party financial service companies, financial service brokers, financial service agents, financial institutions and/or other financial services product intermediaries in Singapore who provide us with their product specifications, prices and any other relevant data to support the efforts of financial service brokers (each a “Financial Services Provider”, and collectively, the “Financial Service Providers”).
When You use our services to study and understand the different financial service and banking products made available, You may be invited to provide certain Personal Data (as defined in our Privacy Policy) and other relevant data. When You submit these Personal Data and other relevant data, Your Personal Data shall be disclosed and forwarded to a Financial Service Provider who will contact You and seek Your permission to assist You in the understanding and application of such financial service and banking products. While we do negotiate favourable initial terms on your behalf, our involvement ends upon referring you to the Financial Service Provider. We are not involved in any negotiations or discussions between You and the Financial Service Provider or in the placement or purchase of any financial service product or service.
The Company renders services at no charge to the user. The Company’s main source of revenue is from fees received from Financial Service Providers when they have successfully assisted You in obtaining a financial service or banking product from the Financial Service Provider.

You acknowledge and warrant that the information You provide is true, complete and accurate. The Company shall not be responsible to You in any way if You furnish us with information that is not true, not complete and/or not accurate.
When You decide to purchase a product or service from a Financial Services Provider, You are entering into an agreement with the Financial Services Provider, and not with the Company. Subsequently, the Company does not bear any responsibility or liability for the purchase, the suitability or quality of the product or services or the agreement that You enter with the Financial Services Provider.
