About Providior

Who is Providior?2019-10-01T23:42:53+00:00

Providior is a private, independent, and wholly Australian-owned specialist funding solutions company, based in Brisbane and operating nationally.

What does Providior do?2023-08-21T03:44:23+00:00

We give you peace of mind so you can stop focusing on cash flow, start concentrating on workflow, and grow your business.

Why is there a need for a third-party organisation to provide specialist funding?2019-10-01T23:41:08+00:00

The face of the finance industry has changed dramatically over the past decade. While traditional banks still dominate the finance sector, their offering does not always meet the brief. As a result of the more bespoke requirements of various industry segments, specialist service providers have evolved to meet this demand. Professional service firms have unique funding requirements requiring a more specialist solution, with less red tape, more flexibility, and individual servicing.

Disbursement Funding

What is the payment process for disbursements?2019-09-20T01:16:12+00:00

Providior will pay any disbursement that can be paid by EFT (electronic funds transfer). We do not place restrictions on which doctors or professionals you use, and there is no minimum payment amount. If a disbursement has been approved by you, we will process it. For disbursements that can’t be paid by EFT, request (through the client portal) a deposit of funds into your General Account to cover these outlays.

Disbursements we will pay include expert consultant’s fees (accountants, safety engineers, specialists etc.); clinical records from hospitals; medical experts’ reports and/or other external consultants; court fees; process servers’ and agent’s fees; travel and accommodation; witness fees; search fees; inquiry fees; lodgement fees; all government revenue charges; transaction-specific banking charges; transcripts charges etc.

How do I keep track of payments?2019-09-20T01:14:39+00:00

We provide our clients with regular Transaction and Loan Statements. Interim reports are readily available upon request – just talk to our friendly staff and we can help.

What happens when a file settles?2019-09-20T01:13:03+00:00

Let us know when a file is getting close to settlement and we will provide you with an accurate indication of the amount owing to Providior.

When a file settles and you receive monies into your trust account, we will provide you with a Statement of Account (payable within 7 days).

What happens when a file fails to settle?2019-09-20T00:59:11+00:00

As per the Loan Agreement that you sign with Providior (see below for more information), you are legally responsible to repay the outstanding amount (total disbursements funded plus interest accrued) irrespective of the outcome of the file. Our funding is not offered on a speculative basis.

How does the loan agreement work?2019-09-20T00:59:11+00:00

The Loan Agreement sets out the basis on which we will fund disbursements for you. In particular, it will detail the facility type, amount approved, interest rate, establishment fee and term of the facility.

The Loan Agreement is between Providior and your Firm. It is not between Providior and your client. You are legally responsible to repay the outstanding amount (total disbursements funded plus interest accrued) irrespective of the outcome of the file. Our funding is not offered on a speculative basis.

Your Firm would typically have a signed Costs Agreement and/or Disclosure Statement with your client that:

    • Authorises your Firm to obtain funding from Providior to pay disbursements
    • Authorises you to pay Providior the total amount of disbursements plus interest accrued from settlement funds (upon the successful completion of the file)
    • Specifies that if the file does not successfully conclude, then they will not be responsible for repaying outlays or interest accrued
How does the Providior funding system work?2019-09-20T00:59:11+00:00

Once you become a Providior client, we will work with you to ensure you and your staff are confident using our client portal.

Is my information secure?2019-09-20T00:59:11+00:00

The security of your information is important to us. We use Security Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt sensitive information before it is transferred over the Internet.
