3.20 General principles for determining remuneration for binder functions

 

(1) When remuneration is provided by or on behalf of an insurer to any person for rendering a binder function—

(b) the payment of such remuneration must not result in the person being remunerated more than once for performing a similar function on behalf of the insurer and/or policyholder;
(c) any actual or potential conflicts between the interest of policyholders and the interests of the person receiving the remuneration must be effectively mitigated; and
(d) the payment of such remuneration must not impede the delivery of fair outcomes to policyholders.
