Target Market Determination

Target Market Determination previewTarget Market Determination

The law requires Kubota to issue this target market determination to describe its consumer loan product, and how and to whom it is made available. It assists Kubota dealers and consumers in deciding the circumstances in which the loan may be relevant.

 Our Consumer Loan Product
Product Name Consumer Loan Contract – Secured
Customer Class Kubota supplied equipment customers only. We only provide consumer finance to consumers who wish to purchase new Kubota supplied equipment through an authorised Kubota dealer.
Distributors Our consumer loan is only available through:

  • Our authorised Kubota dealers or
  • Kubota Australia Pty Ltd – directly through customer service staff

This ensures consumers are always dealing with trained Kubota staff or dealers who are very familiar with both the equipment and our consumer loan product’s terms and conditions.
Third Party Distribution Channels Our consumer loan is not available through third-party channels, other than authorised Kubota dealers.
Consumer’s objective The consumer wants to own the Kubota supplied equipment of their choice for personal, household or domestic use.The consumer does not intend to use the equipment for predominantly business purposes.
Consumer’s Requirements The consumer wants the certainty of a fixed interest rate loan at an agreed repayment amount over an agreed loan term.
Target Market & Product Consistency Consumers actively seek to purchase Kubota supplied equipment, so initiate both the sale and the request for finance, as both the equipment and finance can only be obtained through Kubota Australia Pty Ltd and/or its authorised dealers.

Product Review  

 Target Market Determination Review

 We review our consumer loan product:

  • whenever significant market conditions, or regulatory requirements, trigger changes to our fees, terms or conditions
  • if early termination or hardship applications or complaints increase disproportionately to loan volumes
  • if AFCA or ASIC raise any concerns about our consumer loan product
  • when the business determines a change is required
  • if this product has been mis-sold in any way, requiring ASIC to be informed

Unless a product review necessitates changes to the product, we will review the product’s target market determination every 3 years.
Product Changes With the exception of cost increases affecting fees, any changes to our consumer loan product will only apply to new loans, not existing loans.
