This is only a summary of the duties that we have. More information is available by contacting us, or by visiting the Financial Markets Authority website at www.fma.govt.nz.
Loansmart Fee – Loansmart may charge a fee based on the size and complexity of the loan. This fee is up to 5% of the loan amount plus $245, to a maximum of $995 for unsecured loans (GST exclusive). For secured loans, the calculation is the same, but the maximum fee is $1995 (GST exclusive).
Insurance-related products – Loansmart may receive a commission on any insurance product that is taken with the loan. The commission amount is a percentage of the insurance premium and will vary depending on the provider.
All fees & insurance premiums can be financed as part of the loan (added to the loan).
Commission – We may receive a commission from the lender when a loan is completed. The commission amount is a percentage of the loan amount and will vary depending on the lender.
Referral Commission – If we are unable to arrange a loan approval for you with one of our lenders and we believe one of our referral partners could assist you, we will refer your application to them. This will be communicated at the time. We may receive a referral commission of up to 10% of the loan amount if this referral leads to you taking a loan with them.
This section outlines the process for cancelling and refunding a loan.
If you wish to cancel your loan before the funds have been advanced there is no fee payable.
If you choose to cancel your loan application after the funds have been disbursed, you may do so within the cancellation period stipulated in the Loan Agreement, however, the Loansmart Fee is non-refundable. This means that if you wish to cancel after receiving the funds, you will be required to repay both the full loan advance and the Loansmart fee.
The Loansmart Fee is non-refundable because it covers the completion of all necessary steps in the loan process, including the time and resources dedicated to securing and processing your loan.
To proceed with cancellation, please contact your Loan Consultant, who will provide you with the appropriate details to facilitate repayment and cancellation.
We take any perceived or real conflicts of interest very seriously and have a dedicated policy for dealing with such issues whereby we avoid, disclose and/or manage any conflicts so that our client’s interests are placed first.
All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We maintain registers of conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives we receive. Loansmart monitors these registers and provides additional training where necessary. Loansmart performs an annual review of our compliance programme.
We are always looking at ways to improve our service to our customers, if something has gone wrong, we want to know. Please send us an email at enquires@loansmart.co.nz, or call us on 0800 255 155 so we can discuss with you.
