How we're regulated
Protecting Your Money
Earnr is licensed and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). This means we operate under detailed obligations around customer protection, transparency, and compliance.Because Earnr serves both retail and wholesale customers, we are held to some of the strictest financial services regulations in Australia.With much of our leadership team having backgrounds in risk management at Australia’s largest banks, we take a proactive approach to meeting and exceeding regulatory standards, and view strong oversight as fundamental to how we operate.Our regulatory obligations include the following requirements:Independent custodian‍All customer funds and assets must be held and controlled by an independent custodian. At Earnr, this role is fulfilled by Sandhurst Trustees, a subsidiary of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. This ensures that customer money is kept separate from Earnr’s own operations and safeguarded on trust.Responsible Entity‍Earnr must also operate under a Responsible Entity (RE). The RE is legally responsible for overseeing Earnr, ensuring it is managed in line with the law and in the best interests of customers. To provide an additional layer of oversight, Earnr uses an independent Responsible Entity, one of Australia’s most experienced funds groups, with more than 35 years of operating history.Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance‍Earnr is required to hold professional indemnity insurance to help protect customers in the unlikely event of errors, omissions, or breaches of duty.External Audits‍It is a regulatory requirement that Earnr is routinely externally audited. This ensures Earnr is continuously meeting its obligations and that customer assets are accurately reported and properly managed. External audits cover:Customer positions and balancesCash and financial recordsAudit of our compliance planOperational checks across processes and controlsOur overarching regulatory structure provides a multi-layered system of oversight and protection:Your funds are held by an independent custodianAn independent Responsible Entity with over 35 years of experience oversees operationsRegular external audits verify customer assets and complianceStringent operating and identification standards are in place across our institution

Role of the custodian

approach

What is a custodian?

A custodian is an independent institution that holds money and assets on trust for customers, keeping them separate from the assets of another institution.

How does the custodian help keep my money safe?

At Earnr, your assets don’t sit with us directly. They're held by Sandhurst Trustees, a subsidiary of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. Their job is to:

  • Hold your funds safely in trust accounts and control all funds movements
  • Ensure separation from Earnr’s company operating accounts
  • Provide oversight to make sure your funds are managed in accordance with the PDS

This structure adds an important layer of independent protection for our customers.

In the event anything were to happen to Earnr or the responsible entity for Earnr, your investments with Earnr will not be lost as they are held on trust for you by the custodian.

The independent custodian would take control Earnr's assets, and act in the best interests of the members to manage or sell the assets and return funds to the members of Earnr.
