FEES AND EXPENSES

Mortgage and lending planning fee

  •  Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd 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 Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd adviser will agree on 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 Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd at the time your loan is advanced.


  • Where a Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd 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 $1500 will be payable as remuneration for the time spent on getting an approval. This fee is payable within 30 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 Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd adviser, and then repay or refinance your loan within two years of your loan being advanced, without giving your Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd adviser the opportunity to assist you with a refinance, Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd may charge you a fee of up to $1500. 


Insurance service fee

  • No fees are payable by you for insurance advice. However, Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd may charge a fee for financial advice provided to a client if the client cancels a life or health insurance policy within two years of inception. Specific fee information will be advised when the advice is provided. This fee will be payable by the client within 30 days after the policy is canceled.


Kiwisaver service fee

  • There is no cost to you for advice however if you choose to join the nominated KiwiSaver scheme vendor, Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd will be paid a commission. All KiwiSaver fees are subjected to the nominated scheme where the member will pay fees in connection with your membership. These fees are set out in the nominated scheme’s Product Disclosure Statement.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

For life insurance and health insurance, Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd and the financial adviser receive commissions from the insurance companies whose policies we can recommend. If you decide to take out insurance that we recommend, the insurer will pay a commission to Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd and/or the adviser who provides your advice. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of premium associated with your cover; specific commissions will be advised to you when advice is provided.


For mortgages and lending, Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd 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.


For KiwiSaver,  Mortgage Insurance & Investments Ltd and the financial adviser receive commissions from some of the Kiwisaver vendors. The commission is $40 - $240 on joining the scheme (depending on the balance transferred or the size of your contributions to the Scheme within the first 12 months). There will be a trial commission of 0.25% per year of the nominated Kiwisaver account balance ongoing. 


From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives.
