For mortgage lending, Futurebound and the financial adviser receive commissions from the lending companies that the lending was placed with. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of the loan. This can be between 0.55% and 0.85% of the loan amount. Some lenders (Sovereign, BNZ, Liberty, Resimac, Bluestone and Westpac) also pay an ongoing trail commission of 0.15%-0.20% of the loan balance.
To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise the client’s interest above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of the client’s goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We undertake a compliance audit, and a review of our compliance programme annually by a reputable compliance consultancy firm.
