Nature and Scope of Our Advice
Our advisers are skilled in providing guidance on a variety of insurance products—commercial, domestic, and personal, often grouped as Fire and General Insurance. We’re here to help you protect your income, assets, and liabilities, reducing the financial impact if the unexpected happens.
We focus solely on Fire and General Insurance and do not offer advice on Life and Health Insurance, Investments, Kiwisaver, Medical Insurance, or Mortgages. However, if you need advice on these products, we’re happy to connect you with a trusted specialist.
Currently, there are no limitations on our advice scope. Should any arise, we will inform you transparently.
CBN NZ is affiliated with Steadfast NZ Limited (Steadfast), which supports us in delivering high-quality advice through purchasing advantages and enhanced service support.
Our financial advice spans a variety of products from New Zealand-based and international providers. Here are some key offerings:
Through our Providers
Fees, Expenses, or Other Costs
We earn through a combination of fees and commissions. Fees are based on the time and complexity involved in setting up your policy, and any adjustments or cancellations during the policy term may incur a fee as outlined on your invoice. There are no set fixed fees. Any fee will be disclosed to you at the time the advice and quotation is provided or prior.
Any additional charges, like credit card fees, will be disclosed in our recommendations.
Conflicts of Interest and Incentives
We may receive a commission from insurance providers based on your premium. The commission rate is flat and it set by the insurers. If your policy is cancelled, this commission may be retained.
Any referral fees we pay to partners are based on commission arrangements. If a conflict of interest arises, we will promptly disclose it and prioritise your interests.
Our advisers are dedicated to acting in your best interests, supported by a conflicts and gifts register to maintain transparency.
CBN NZ retains a portion of the income for professional support to us.
Premium Funding:
To make payments easier, we offer premium funding, allowing you to pay in instalments. Please note, premium funders charge interest and can cancel policies for non-payment. In these arrangements, the funding company may pay us a commission on the amount funded, with CBN NZ retaining a portion.
Complaints Handling & Dispute Resolution
If you have feedback or concerns, first please discuss this with your adviser. Additionally, please refer our full Complaints and Disputes process here. We’re here to resolve issues efficiently and transparently.
