AFG aggregator fees reduce the commission you retain, while the lender schedule shows upfront and trail rates before your member agreement applies. Compare each lender’s year-by-year trail with the fees and commission split in your AFG offer.
AFG Commission Rate Schedule Table
The AFG schedule below lists 62 lender and product rows, with upfront commission and trail for years one to five and year six onward. Each percentage is a commission rate, separate from the borrower’s home-loan interest rate.
Y1 means the first year of the loan, Y2 the second year and Y6+ year six onward. Read across the row because some lenders increase trail as the loan ages. LVR means loan-to-value ratio in the Liberty product rows.

Suncorp Bank is closed to new home-loan applications, including new broker applications. Its row remains relevant to existing loans, where trail continues under the applicable commission agreement.
HSBC has agreed to sell its Australian home-loan and personal-loan portfolio to Blackstone. Pepper Money will service the portfolio after completion, subject to regulatory approval. The HSBC row does not establish commission terms after that transfer.
AFG Aggregator Fees
The AFG fee schedule summarised below separates monthly charges from quarterly marketing charges. Your total depends on the services in your member agreement and the optional marketing programmes you choose.
| Fee Item | Amount and Billing Period | What It Covers | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compliance fee | $180 per month | Compliance support | Member agreement determines the applicable charge. |
| Credit check fee (Veda) | Depends on credit-check volume | Credit checks | Number of checks determines the total. |
| Professional indemnity (PI) insurance | $137.50 per month | Professional indemnity insurance | Brokerage cover requirements determine the applicable premium. |
| SMART Core programme | $155 per month | Marketing to the residential client database | Optional marketing programme. |
| Haven programme | $45 per quarter | Additional quarterly marketing | Optional addition to SMART Core. |
| Business SMART add-on | $55 per month | Marketing to small and medium businesses and lead generation | Optional add-on. |
| Commercial SMART add-on | $55 per month | Marketing to active commercial clients | Optional add-on. |
Keep Haven’s quarterly billing separate when budgeting. With SMART Core and Haven selected, the listed charges total $200 in the quarter’s Haven billing month and $155 in each other month. Business SMART and Commercial SMART each add $55 per month when selected.
Apply the GST treatment in your AFG agreement and invoices consistently when comparing fees with commission income. Include only the optional services you intend to use.
How to Read These AFG Rates
These rates describe lender commissions paid through AFG before your own agreement determines the amount you retain. A headline upfront rate alone does not tell you your net pay.
AFG’s public website lists no standard commission split. Your member agreement sets the share of each lender payment you keep. Apply that split to the lender payment, then account for the fees that apply to your brokerage. For trail, use the column for the loan’s age and the lender’s eligible balance and payment rules.
For example, the ANZ row lists trail of 0.165% in years one to three and 0.220% from year four. A broker modelling that loan must use the matching year’s rate before applying their own split.
About AFG covers membership, Suite360 and licensing. Use the aggregator fee guide for fee-model comparisons, or compare AFG and Connective side by side.
While reasonable steps have been taken in preparing this summary, errors are possible. Verify the applicable rates and fees with AFG and the lender before relying on them.
If an AFG fee, upfront rate or trail rate is incorrect, contact us with the lender or fee item and the correct figure.
