28 Jul 2026 Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd; Latitude Finance AustraliaHarvey Norman and Latitude: AUD 55m penalties for misleading interest-free advertising €33.7m
A national advertising campaign from January 2020 to August 2021 promised purchases at Harvey Norman with 60 months interest free and no deposit, but concealed that a credit card such as the Latitude GO Mastercard was required, with monthly account fees and, until March 2021, establishment fees. After liability was established in 2024 and upheld on appeal in 2025, the Court set penalties of AUD 35 million against Harvey Norman and AUD 20 million against Latitude and ordered corrective notices on the home pages for 90 days. It based the higher penalty for Harvey Norman on its lower level of contrition.
Anyone advertising finance offers must disclose the credit products required and their costs as clearly as the headline offer.
