Fees, expenses, or other amounts payable
We earn through a combination of fees and commissions. Fees are based on the time and complexity involved in setting up your policy, and any adjustments or cancellations during the policy term may incur a fee as outlined on your invoice. There are no set fixed fees. Any fee will be disclosed to you at the time the advice and quotation is
provided or prior. Any additional charges, like credit card fees, will be disclosed in our recommendations.
.
Conflicts of interest and commissions or other incentives
​
We may receive a commission from insurance providers based on your premium. The commission rate is flat, and it set by the insurers. It varies from 8-25%. If your policy is cancelled mid-term, this commission may be retained by us.
The portion of commission will be made known to you at the time of Advice, Quote, or prior (i.e. when the scope of the advice is known).
Any referral fees we pay to partners are based on commission arrangements. If a conflict of interest arises, we will promptly disclose it and prioritise your interests. Our advisers are dedicated to acting in your best interests, supported by a conflicts and gifts register to maintain transparency. CBN NZ retains a portion of the income for professional support to us.
Complaints & Dispute Resolution
If you have feedback or concerns, first please discuss this with your adviser. Please refer to Complaints Process - CBN NZfor our full Complaints and Disputes process. We’re here to resolve issues efficiently and transparently.
Reliability Event
We, and our personnel, have not been subject to a reliability event.
Premium Funding:
​Insurance premium payments are due to the insurer annually in a lump sum. To assist with cashflow, we work with third party premium funding facilities, allowing you to take a loan for the lump sum and pay your insurance premium back over instalments.
Please note, this service is a credit contract with a third party premium funder, and they
charge interest and a set-up fee. Premium Funders can cancel policies for non-payment of instalments.
In these arrangements, the funding company may pay us a commission on the amount funded.
