Any financial advice provided can only be as good as the information you have provided us about your needs, financial situation, or goals .

How we are Paid
Fees
Woodward Insurance Brokers LTD does not specifically charge fees, expenses or any other amount for the financial advice provided to you however, we receive commission and have an invoice fee of $17.25 for each invoice provided by us on fire and general type products. Where there is single vehicle insurance, the invoice fee will be $26.45 instead of $17.25.

Fees may be charged for additional services you wish us to provide. These will be mutually agreed on before services are provided. Where brokerage commission is not allocated within a fire and general product, we will charge a usual commission normally allocated on that type of product and will be presented as an invoice fee added and combined with the $17.25 invoice fee together.
We believe electronic mailing is the best way to do business. This helps to save the planet and it also shows a good paper trail for compliance.
Should someone want their documents posted, this adds additional compliance and costs, therefore we will add a reasonable fee for the time it takes to add extra compliance along with the printing and postage costs that we would not normally have to incur.

Commissions, Incentives and Conflicts of Interests
Woodward Insurance Brokers Ltd is paid in the form of a commission, brokerage commission, bonus commission and/or FAP commission, trail and renewal commission from insurance or KiwiSaver providers for polices or agreements we give advice and place business, all members of our employees are paid by mostly salaries or wages and as such, do not directly receive any commissions or brokerage commissions earned in the placing of insurance with providers directly. Employees may receive a share of commission through bonus as part of their remuneration package, however this is not limited through providing clients with any particular insurance provider, these bonuses are designed to incentivise following a compliant process and to provide good service to our customers.

The commissions Woodward Insurance Brokers receive are built into your policy premiums.

At times, we may share a split of commissions with another broker or adviser who has knowledge or contacts that will serve your needs best. We also may share a percentage of the commission or brokerage commission with self-employed contractor(s) who provides services for us or through us. Endeavours will take place to manage the process of advice to customers to make sure advice is of a compliant level and we are obtaining good customer outcomes.
