Fees, expenses, or other amounts payable

In majority of cases, we do not charge any fee, expense or other amount for the financial advice

provided to you or for implementing that advice. Our remuneration is paid by the product providers

by way of commission.


However, we may charge a fee for the financial advice service provided to a client where a client

whether a fee will be charged, the manner in which it will be charged and the date by which the fee

will be payable will be advised when the financial advice service is provided to the client.


Conflicts of interest and commissions or other incentives


Residential and personal loan products

We receive commission from the lenders who provide residential and personal loan products. If you decide to take out a residential or personal loan, then the lender will pay commission based on the amount of loan settled with that lender or lenders.


Our advisers are remunerated either by payee salary or they take the drawings from Kripa Financial Solutions Limited.


From time to time, various product providers (described previously) may also reward us for the overall business provided to them. They may give tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives. To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise the client’s interests above their own,

we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made based on the client’s personal goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo annual professional development refresher training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We maintain registers of conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives receive.

We take all complaints seriously and works to resolve them as quickly as possible.
