How it Works
It's your money, make it work for you, not someone else - get started today
If you've ever looked at your financial statements closely, you'll notice there
are a range of fees and commissions that are charged, with no clear explanation
of what these charges are.
These are often compulsory fees and commissions that are paid to financial
advisers, brokers and agents that may have originally signed you up to that
product and are still getting paid by the fees and commission that generate from
your account, every year!
Even if you set up your account directly with a Bank, Financial Institution or
Insurer, they have simply been keeping the fees and commissions themselves.
YourShare is here to help
YourShare provides the service that checks to see if there are fees or trailing
commissions being charged on your accounts, collects it all on your behalf and
writes you the Cash-Back cheque - every year!

How much do I get back?
We refund 50% of the commissions collected until your refund amounts to $295, then you get 100% of the commissions refunded above that amount EVERY YEAR. So, the most YourShare will retain is $295.
So for example, if your account/s generate $1400 a year in fees and commissions,
you'll be getting a cheque from us for $1105 each year!
The amount you'll get back each year depends on:
- How many products you register with us
- The types of products you register
- The value of your investment, fund policy or product/s
- The amount of fees and commissions being charged by your financial institutions
How long does it take?
Once you've registered your products with YourShare, we will confirm your
accounts with your Fund Manager and have you set up within 2-12 weeks.
You'll be provided a secure website login, so you can see the fees and
commissions being paid to your unique YourShare account number.
At the end of the first year, we collect those fees and commissions and send
your Cash-Back cheque to you, not just once, but every year that you have
YourShare as your broker.
Many financial products pay commissions that we can collect for you and there are others that are structured in a way that they do not pay out commissions or allow a 3rd party brokers to collect commissions such as:
- Industry Super Funds - Low fees and no commissions paid to brokers or advisers.
- Corporate Super Funds - Your employer controls how those commissions are paid out - please talk to your HR Department.

Home Loans
YourShare is just like any other Mortgage broker, but with one special
difference - we don't keep your trailing commissions, we give them back to you,
for the life of your loan.
Our Mortgages team are accredited with a panel of over 30 lenders including
Australia’s major Banks, Institutions and Building Societies, so we can help you
find you a better suited home loan.
PLUS we collect the trailing commissions on your behalf every year, that other
Brokers, Banks and Institutions would normally keep for themselves! YourShare
can collect fees and commissions for you, if you are looking to:
- Finance a new property purchase
- Refinance your existing Home or Investment Mortgage
- Change lenders
Example: A Mortgage of $400,000 could be generating around $800 a year in fees
and commissions, that you could be getting back, every year, over the life of
the loan.

General Insurance
For your Home & Contents, Car, CTP and other General Insurances, we'll need to

we'll be able to collect for you each year.
Around 4 weeks before your insurance renewal dates, we'll call you to provide
you with a quote and an estimate of the cash-back we could be collecting for you
every year.

are from 7%-20% of the annual premium you pay!

What if I am in a Corporate Super Fund or an Industry Super Fund?
Industry Super Funds and Corporate Super Funds are structured in a way that the
industry or employer manages the accounts, so YourShare is unable to collect
fees and commissions on your behalf, unless you roll out of your existing fund
into a Retail Super Fund.
