Remuneration

Remuneration Statement

Insurance intermediaries such as AA Ireland, must make available on their website, a summary of the details of their remuneration arrangements with insurance underwriters, as outlined within provision 4.58A of the Central Bank of Ireland’s (CBI) September 2019 Addendum to the Consumer Protection Code.

Remuneration is the payment earned by AA Ireland for the work performed on behalf of both the insurance underwriter and the consumer. The amount of remuneration AA Ireland earn is related to the value of the products sold and includes ‘Commission and Fees/Charges’.

Definitions:

Commission: This is a payment earned by AA Ireland when it sells an insurance policy on behalf of an insurance underwriter. Commission payments are based on a percentage of the insurance premium. For example, if the total insurance premium paid by a customer is €500 and AA Ireland’s commission is 5%, the AA Ireland receives €25 in commission for the sale of that policy. The commission rates earned by AA Ireland are set out in the accompanying tables below.

Fees/Charges: In addition to earning commission AA Ireland may also apply Fees/Charges for its services. The fees/charges applied by AA Ireland are set out in the accompanying tables below.

Profit Share: Where this field is populated as ‘Yes’ in the accompanying tables, it means that AA Ireland is a party to a profit-share arrangement with a product provider and AA Ireland will earn additional payment from the insurer if agreed profit targets are achieved. Note: Any business arranged with these product providers on a customer’s behalf will be placed with the product provider because that product provider is at the time of placement, the most suitable to meet the customer’s requirements, taking all the customer’s relevant information, demands and needs into account.

Marketing Costs: Where this field is populated as ‘Yes’ in the accompanying tables, it means that AA Ireland is a party to an arrangement whereby AA Ireland receives payment form the insurer towards marketing/advertising expenditure.

Direct Debit Service Charge: This fee applies if you choose to pay your premium by monthly instalments. The date and the amount of each instalment payment will be set out in your policy documents on the ‘Schedule of Payments’ page.
