Our role alongside providers

Role and responsibility

CAFIA helps users understand and prepare. The financial institution manages the formal application and makes all financing decisions.

Public governance principles

These principles describe how CAFIA Access handles public information and institutional contact. They are working principles for the pilot, not a signed institutional agreement.

Neutrality
Product and programme ordering is not determined by sponsorship.
Verification
Institutional submissions will be reviewed before public information is changed.
Mandates
Financing, regulatory, licensing and programme admission decisions rest with the responsible institution.
Consent
Personal information is shared only through an agreed pathway and with appropriate user permission.
Source transparency
Public records should show their source, verification status and last-checked date.
Correction
Institutions may request corrections or provide updated public information.
Insights
Any institutional insight sharing will use anonymised and appropriately aggregated information.
