Fees and Expenses

  • If we do not receive a commission from the lender or provider.
  • When additional advisory work is required beyond standard services.

Any applicable fees will be disclosed upfront before proceeding.

Conflicts of Interests and Commissions

Lender Commissions

Onboard receives a commission from the lender upon the settlement of a loan. The commission structures vary depending on the loan type:

  • Residential Loans: Up to 0.85% of the total lending amount.
  • Business & Commercial Loans: Up to 0.55% of the total lending amount.
  • Fixed Rate Rollovers: Up to $150 per refix.

Insurance Commissions

Are listed in detail on our website under Health & Life Insurance Disclosures.

Managing Conflicts of Interest

To ensure our advice is in your best interest, we:

  • Recommend financial products based on suitability, not commission structures.
  • Ensure loan amounts align with your financial needs and circumstances.
  • Provide full transparency on commission structures, including a breakdown of commission rates by provider.
Clawback Policy

If a loan or insurance policy is cancelled, refinanced, or repaid early within 27 months of settlement, Onboard may be required to repay all or part of the commission received to the lender or insurer. This is known as a clawback.

If a clawback occurs, we may charge you a fee to cover the time and costs associated with the original advice. Our clawback fees are structured as follows:

Home Loans & Personal Lending:

  • If a mortgage is repaid within 27 months, we may issue an invoice for up to $3,600 (including GST), based on 12 hours of work at $300 per hour.

Business Loans & Business Purchases:

  • If a business or commercial loan is repaid within 27 months, we may issue an invoice for up to $15,000 (including GST), based on 30 hours of work at $500 per hour.

Insurance Policies:

  • If a business or personal insurance policy is cancelled or lapsed within 27 months, we may issue an invoice for up to $15,000 (including GST), based on 30 hours of work at $500 per hour.

Clawback fees will not apply if:

  • We were given the opportunity but were unable to arrange a subsequent finance approval.
  • You paid an upfront fee when the mortgage was originally drawn (most common for short-term loans).
  • The early repayment was caused by an exceptionally negative change in circumstances (assessed on a case-by-case basis).
Privacy Policy & Security

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, ensuring your data remains confidential and secure. Your information is only shared in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Our Privacy Policy document is available on our website and/or on request.

Complaints Process

If you have a complaint about our financial advice or service; details on how to make a complaint are available on our website and/or on request.
