In plain English

RG 275 explains how to sell add-on insurance using a deferred sales model, with a minimum four-day delay.

RG 275 applies to Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensees who sell add-on insurance. It sets out requirements for a deferred sales model. This model requires a minimum four-day delay between the initial sale and the settlement of the loan or purchase. The guide aims to protect consumers. It was last updated in December 2023.

Why it matters

If your business sells add-on insurance, RG 275 ensures customers have time to consider the product. This helps avoid rushed decisions and potential regret. Compliance is vital for maintaining consumer trust and avoiding regulatory scrutiny.
