What is a financial service corporations act

(da) operate the business and conduct the affairs of a CCIV; or

(ea) provide a crowd - funding service; or

(f) engage in conduct of a kind prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of this paragraph.

(1A) Subject to paragraph (2)(b), the provision by a trustee company of a traditional trustee company service constitutes the provision, by the company, of a financial service .

Note: Trustee companies may also provide other kinds of financial service mentioned in subsection (1).

(1B) The regulations may, in relation to a traditional trustee company service of a particular class, prescribe the person or persons to whom a service of that class is taken to be provided. This subsection does not limit (and is not limited by) subsection (2).

Note: A traditional trustee company service is provided to a person as a retail client unless regulations provide otherwise (see subsection 761G(6A)).

Regulations may deal with various matters

(2) The regulations may set out:

(a) the circumstances in which persons facilitating the provision of a financial service (for example, by publishing information) are taken also to provide that service; or

(b) the circumstances in which persons are taken to provide, or are taken not to provide, a financial service.

Exception for work ordinarily done by clerks or cashiers

(3) To avoid doubt, a person's conduct is not the provision of a financial service if it is done in the course of work of a kind ordinarily done by clerks or cashiers.

Meaning of operating a registered scheme

(4) For the purposes of this section, a person is not operating a registered scheme merely because:

(a) they are acting as an agent or employee of another person; or

(b) they are taking steps to wind up the scheme.

(5) The fact that conduct constitutes the provision of a financial service is not to be taken to imply that the conduct does not also constitute the provision of another financial service.

Note: For example, conduct may constitute providing a superannuation trustee service and also providing another financial service (such as dealing in a financial product that is a superannuation product).
