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. Folio retains a portion of these fees for professional support to Time Insurance Ltd. Any additional charges, like credit card fees, will be disclosed in our recommendations.
Conflicts of Interest and Incentives
We may receive a commission from providers based on your premium. 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.
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 Folio retaining a portion.
Complaints Handling & Dispute Resolution
If you have feedback or concerns, first please discuss this with your adviser. Additionally, please refer to https://www.folio.insure/complaints for our full Complaints and Disputes process. We’re here to resolve issues efficiently and transparently.
