For General Insurance;
- We may agree with you a separate service fee (plus GST) to be paid by you in lieu of commission or in addition to any commission we may receive from the insurers when we know the nature and scope of the advice you seek. The fee amount will depend on the nature of our advice, the time and care it takes to implement that advice and to maintain a high level of service to you throughout the policy period.
- We may also charge documentation fees for any changes to your general insurance made during the policy period. These documentation fees (plus GST) are to cover our costs and disbursements.
- We’ll disclose any fees to you and the payment due date at the earlier of the time we know the nature and scope of the advice you seek, or when we provide our advice to you.
- Insurance Advisernet New Zealand may also charge an administration fee for processing insurance premiums. If a fee will be charged, you will be advised at the time the financial advice is provided.
For Life and Health Insurance;
Analysing the suitability of the provision of products and/or services to you and providing a financial service to you in the form of a Statement of Advice and all associated documentation is given as a service. There is no cost to you for the entire term of the mutually agreed engagement.
It will be paid by the Insurance Company in the form of commission.
For Premium Funding;
Our financial advisers can arrange funding through one of our premium funding companies so you can spread the cost of your annual general insurance premiums over 10 or 12 instalments.
The premium funding details, including the interest rate and administration costs that will apply, will be set out in a separate finance contract and will be disclosed to you at the time the agreement is put in place, as per our premium funding companies’ obligations under the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003.
In some circumstances we may recommend another service provider to assist us in providing appropriate financial advice. These providers can include property valuers, property surveyors and motor vehicle valuations. These providers will charge a fee for the work they do. We will advise you of any related fees and charges prior to having them commence any work on your behalf.
For Mortgage Lending;
- Generally, we do not charge fees for mortgage advice, as we receive commissions from product providers upon settlement.
- Exceptions where fees may apply:
- No Commission Scenario: If we do not receive commission, we may charge a pre agreed service fee.
- Commission Clawback: If a provider requires repayment of commission within 28 months of settlement, we may charge a fee of up to $3,000 (plus GST) at $250 (plus GST) per adviser hour. This fee will not exceed the clawed-back commission amount.
- Loan Renewal: No fees are charged for renewing existing loan approvals. If any fees apply, you will receive an invoice with a 30-day payment term.
Conflicts of interest and commissions or other incentives
BSI Brokers Limited is a financial advice provider and may receive commissions and other incentives from product providers when we provide financial advice and arrange financial products on your behalf. These payments create a potential conflict of interest, as they provide us with financial benefits.
We manage these conflicts by ensuring our advice is based on your needs and goals, and by following internal compliance policies and regulatory obligations under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Insurance Products (General, Life, and Health Insurance)
- BSI Brokers Limited receives commissions from insurers when arranging insurance products on your behalf.
- The commission is generally calculated as a percentage of the insurance premium and may vary depending on the insurer and product type.
- In some cases, we may also receive ongoing commission for as long as the policy remains in force.
Mortgage Lending
If you proceed with mortgage advice, we may receive commissions from lenders upon loan settlement. These may include:

- Non-monetary benefits: such as hospitality, training events, gifts, or other incentives provided by lenders
Other Incentives
From time to time, we may receive additional non-monetary benefits from insurers, lenders, or product providers. These may include training, marketing support, conference attendance, or hospitality. These benefits are not directly passed on to clients.
