Fees and expenses

Generally we won't charge you any fees for the financial advice we provide to you. This is possible because, on settlement of a loan, we usually receive commission from the lender [which is explained in the Commissions section of this Disclosure Guide].  Any exceptions to this general position are explained below. If these exceptions will apply to you, we will let you know.

One-off fees​

​

I may charge you a one-off fee if the following occurs:

(a) When we don't receive commission from the lender: If you request that we provide financial advice and we do not receive a commission from the lender, we may charge you a one-off fee. Any such fee would be agreed and authorised by you in writing before we complete the services, and would be based on an estimate of the time spent providing the advice.

​

This may arise in the rare event that you request that we provide services in relation to either a product that is offered by a lender that we do not hold an accreditation with, or a product that is outside our usual arrangements with my approved lenders.

​

(b) When we have to repay commission to the lender: In the event that, in the 28 month period following drawdown of your loan, your loan is fully or partially repaid or the terms materially changed, and a lender requires that we repay the applicable commission to them, we may charge you a one-off fee. Any such fee would be no more than $2,500 (plus GST, if any) and would be calculated based on a rate of $250 (plus GST, if any) per hour of our time spent providing financial advice to you in connection with the applicable loan. The fee we charge you will not exceed the amount of commission we have to repay to the lender.

​

You will be invoiced for any one-off fee and will be given 30 days to make payment.

Commissions & Incentives

On settlement of a loan we usually receive a commission payment from the applicable lender.

​

The commission is generally an upfront commission payment but we may also receive an ongoing trail commission payment. The upfront commission is calculated as a percentage of the loan at drawdown. A trail commission is calculated as a percentage of the loan outstanding at the relevant time.

​

We may also receive a fixed rate roll over fee from the applicable lender if we assist in refixing your loan.

 

The maximum percentage that each lender uses to calculate upfront and trail commissions, and the maximum fixed rate roll over fees (refix fees), are set out in the table below. If there are any variations to these percentages or other commission payments that may apply, specific to your loan application, we will disclose this to you as part of our advice process.

​

We may also receive a referral fee or commission payment if we refer you to our referral partners listed above. We will give you more information about how that referral fee or commission is calculated, before proceeding.

​

From time to time, we may receive incentives or rewards from lenders. For example, they may provide me with gifts, tickets to events or other incentives.

​

We manage the conflicts of interest arising from these commission payments by:

​

  • Following an advice process that ensures we understand your needs and goals so that we always recommend the best product for you regardless of the type and amount of commission we will receive.

  • Ensuring the amount of any loan is in accordance with your identified needs.

  • Providing you with the table below showing commission rates and types by lender.

  • Undertaking regular training on how to manage conflicts of interest.

Privacy Policy & Security

We will collect personal information about you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We regard client confidentiality as of paramount importance. We will not disclose any confidential information obtained from or about you to any other person, except in accordance with our Privacy Policy. The electronic platform we use to store your personal information is secure and run on Amazon Web Services.
