The commissions are calculated as a percentage of the base insurance premium of the relevant general insurance product (excluding any government taxes and charges). It is not an extra charge to you.
The commission and distribution allowance that Resilium receives depends on the type of insurance product that is sold and the amount of the premium. If we provide you with personal advice on a retail (i.e. personal) insurance product we will disclose to you the distribution allowance amount paid to Resilium and the amount of the commission paid by Resilium to us. We will do this at the time we give you advice or as soon as practicable after.

Adviser Administration Fee
In addition to the premium payable on the insurance product, we may charge an Adviser Administration Fee. The fee charged may vary depending on your circumstances.
If a fee is charged it will be applied when you purchase an insurance product we recommend. We will tell you the actual amount of the fee before you purchase an insurance product.
The fee may also be charged if we provide additional services to you or when you renew the insurance product. If the fee is charged when you renew your Resilium branded GIO insurance product, the amount payable (which may change) will be set out in the renewal notice.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
For Resilium branded GIO products, GIO collects the fee on our behalf and passes the fee on to us. Alternatively we may invoice you directly for the fee. The fee is in addition to the premium payable on the insurance product.
