This regulation makes arrangements about the price for the provision of a non-cash payment financial product.
Note: Under paragraph 761G(7)(a) of the Act, if a financial product is not, or a financial service provided to a person does not relate to, a general insurance product, a superannuation product or an RSA, the financial product or financial service is provided to the person as a retail client unless the price for the provision of the financial product, or the value of the financial product to which the financial service relates, equals or exceeds the amount specified in regulations made for the purposes of that paragraph as being applicable in the circumstances.
In general, the " price " of a product will be the amount that is paid to acquire or be issued with the financial product. The test for the price of the product in paragraph 761G(7)(a) of the Act will be determined at or before the time the client acquires, or is issued with, the financial product. If a client pays over $500,000 to acquire or be issued with the financial product, the client will be a wholesale client in respect of the product.
