What is Remuneration?

Remuneration is the payment earned by the Intermediary for work undertaken on behalf of both the Provider and the Consumer. The amount of remuneration is generally directly related to the premium or value of the products sold.

What is Commission?

Commission is payment that may be earned by an Intermediary for work undertaken for both Provider and Consumer.
There are different types of remuneration and different commission models:
Single Commission Model: Where payment is made to the Intermediary shortly after the transaction is completed and is based on a percentage of the premium paid less 5% levies on Gross Premium.

General Insurance Products

General Insurance Products, such as Motor, Home, Travel, Health, Retail or Liability Insurance, are typically subject to a single commission model, based on the amount of premium charged for the Insurance Product.

Profit Share Arrangements

In some cases, the Intermediary may be a party to a profit-share arrangement with a product provider and will earn additional commission. Any business arranged with these Product Providers on a client’s behalf will be placed with the Product Provider is at the time of placement, the most suitable to meet the client’s requirements, taking all of the client’s relevant information, demands and needs in to account.

Clawback

Clawback is an obligation on the Intermediary to repay unearned commission. Commission can be paid directly after a transaction is concluded but is not deemed to be ‘earned’ until after a specified period of time. If the consumer cancels or withdraws from the financial product within the specified time, the Intermediary must return commission to the Product Producer.
