CherykBROKER FEES

We have had occasions where Advisers have not declared their Broker Fees on the Initial Disclosure Document ,  Client Records and to the Network. Failure to disclose your Broker Fees is a serious Breach of Regulatory Requirements in accordance with Regulatory Rules. Broker Fees should not exceed 1% of the loan amount and, if the adviser is looking to charge a fee in excess of this they should seek network approval by way of a phone call/email to their compliance manager or file review team. In  all cases where you are charging a Broker Fee please follow the broker Fee Process below.
