Full disclosure

We take regulatory disclosure seriously, clients deserve to know who they're talking to, who pays us, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Last updated: 2026-05-13.

1. Who we are

Crystallux Group Inc. is an Ontario corporation that holds the life insurance agent licence under which we operate. Crystallux Financial Services is the financial-services division of Crystallux Group Inc.; it is the brand under which we offer life and accident & sickness insurance. We do not offer any other financial products.

2. How we access insurers

Crystallux Group Inc. does not hold direct appointments with insurance companies. The products we place today are placed through a managing general agency (MGA) partner, which holds the insurer contracts and gives us access to plans from several Canadian insurers. Before you apply, your advisor will tell you which insurer a recommended plan comes from and that it is placed through our MGA partner.

Crystallux Group Inc. is not owned by, employed by, or financially controlled by any insurance company.

3. How we are compensated

We earn commission when policies are placed. It is paid by the insurer and passed to us through our MGA partner. Commission structures vary by product, insurer, and policy size. Typical ranges in the Canadian market:

We disclose the specific commission for each product we recommend on the recommendation summary before you apply. If commission rates vary materially across products in your recommendation, we identify that variance explicitly so you can factor it into your decision.

No fees to clients. Our advice, comparison, application support, and ongoing service are provided at no charge to you. Our compensation is paid by the insurer, through our MGA partner.

4. Suitability assessment

Every product recommendation is preceded by a documented suitability assessment in line with FSRA expectations. The assessment considers your: income, dependants, existing coverage, financial obligations, time horizon, risk tolerance, and stated objectives. The assessment is retained as part of your file for 10 years.

5. Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance

Crystallux Financial Services maintains E&O insurance with a minimum coverage of CAD $2,000,000 per occurrence covering claims of professional negligence. Carrier and policy number available on request.
