Our Fees

The actual fee charged to you will depend on the nature and scope of the advice or service we provide. We will discuss and agree on the actual fees with you before we proceed and explain how they are payable.

For most of our services, we do not charge our clients fees directly — we are compensated by lenders when we place a loan on your behalf. Fee arrangements will be discussed and agreed upon prior to any advice being given.

Commissions

For services in relation to loan products, commissions may be paid by the product provider as follows:

  • Initial Commission: A percentage of the value of your loan balance
  • Ongoing Commission: A percentage of the outstanding loan amount, usually calculated at the end of each month in which you hold the loan

Conflicts of Interest or Other Incentives

We are here for our clients and to advise you as best we can. Your interests are our priority, although we do have business relationships with product providers also.

From time to time our product providers assist us with funding so we can bring our advisers together for conferences and professional development training.

How We Manage Any Conflicts of Interest

To ensure our advisers prioritise our clients' interests:

  • We follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made appropriately, based on clients' goals and circumstances
  • All our advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest
  • We maintain registers of conflicts of interest and the gifts and incentives we receive, monitored regularly
  • We undertake an annual independent Compliance Assurance Review

Our Duties and Obligations to You

We are bound by the duties of the Financial Markets Conduct Act (431I, 431K, 431L and 431M) to:

  • Meet the standards of competence, knowledge, and skill set out in the Code of Conduct
  • Give priority to the clients' interest
  • Exercise care, diligence and skill
  • Meet the standards of ethical behaviour, conduct, and client care set out in the Code of Conduct
