Obligations of the Client

    Fees and expenses Mortgage and lending planning fee


    • REFIX® advisers are usually remunerated by way of commission, by the providers of the loan products we recommend. On occasion, some providers may not pay a commission. In this situation, we will charge a fee for our advice. The fee payable will be a reflection of the time required to obtain a loan approval for you. Where a fee will be payable for the advice, your REFIX® adviser will agree the amount of the fee with you prior to obtaining a lending approval. This fee can be added to your loan amount and will be paid to REFIX® at the time your loan is advanced.
    • Where a REFIX® adviser has obtained an approval from a lender who does pay commission, but you decide not to proceed with the loan, a fee of up to $3,750 will be payable as remuneration for the time spent on getting an approval. This fee is payable within 7 days of you deciding not to proceed with an approval.

    Mortgage and lending service fee


    Should you proceed with a loan implementation after advice from your REFIX® adviser, and then repay or refinance your loan within 28 months of your loan being advanced, without giving your REFIX® adviser the opportunity to assist you with a refinance, REFIX® may charge you a fee of $250 per hour for the time spent to get the initial loan approved and implemented. The maximum fee will be $3,750 (15 hours). In some instances, advisers may charge a higher fee depending on the level of service provided. Your Adviser will agree with you any applicable fees.

    Conflict of Interest and Incentive


    For mortgages and lending, REFIX® and the financial adviser receive commissions from some of the lenders we can provide recommendations for. If you proceed to implement lending with the lender recommended to you, the lender will pay a commission to your financial adviser. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of the lending; specific remuneration will be advised to you when advice is provided.

    To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise the client's interests above their own We manage the conflicts of interest arising from these commission payments by:

    • Following an advice process that ensures that all advisers understand your needs and goals so that we always recommend the best product for the clients 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, which includes how to manage conflicts of interest.
    • Each adviser has a regular compliance review of their advice process and our compliance programme is reviewed annually by our external compliance adviser.

    Conflicted Remuneration Note:


    • All fees and commissions are paid to REFIX® and or the adviser
    • REFIX® and the adviser uses all gross revenue to pay the operating expenses of running a compliant professional business.
    • REFIX® then pays it's tax obligations on the net profit after costs.
    • What is left, if any, is available to REFIX® or the adviser as personal remuneration.
    • Typically, the potential conflicted remuneration for the Financial Adviser amounts to between 35-50% of gross revenue in any given year. What a client pays is not the same as what the Financial Adviser earns.
