Fees or expenses

Plan and Protect Ltd does not charge fees, expenses or any other amount for any financial advice provided to its clients.

Conflicts of interest and incentives

For life insurance and health insurance, Plan and Protect Ltd and the financial adviser receive commissions from the insurance companies on whose policies we give advice. If you decide to take out insurance, the insurer will pay a commission to Plan and Protect Ltd and your financial adviser will be remunerated for this. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of the premium.

 

To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of each client’s goals and circumstances. We maintain registers of conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives we receive. Plan and Protect Ltd monitors these registers and provides additional training where necessary.

When we receive a complaint, we will consider it following our internal complaints process:

  • We will consider your complaint and let you know how we intend to resolve it. We may need to contact you to get further information about your complaint.

  • We aim to resolve complaints within 10 working days of receiving them. If we can’t, we will contact you within that time to let you know we need more time to consider your complaint.

  • We will contact you by phone or email to let you know whether we can resolve your complaint and how we propose to do so.

 

If we can’t resolve your complaint, or you aren’t satisfied with the way we propose to do so, you can contact Insurance and Financial Services Ombudsman (IFSO).
