Savings and costs

Savings

Savings vary across sub-categories and will depend on an agency’s banking services purchasing profile and specific requirements.

We strongly recommend you read all services agreements thoroughly and assess the pricing offering together with the overall services being offered, functionalities, service levels, helpdesk support and value adds described in the services agreements.

Costs

Most AoG contracts include an administration fee. This fee is a simple, effective and transparent way of recovering the cost of developing, sourcing, implementing and managing AoG contracts.

For efficiency of administration, the AoG Banking Services administration fee will be collected through the Crown Transactional Banking Services contract. More information on this will be provided directly to your agency

Suppliers collect the administration fee and pass it on to MBIE - agencies don't need to make any payments to MBIE.
