The RIW pricing model ensures the RIW Program is sustainable and equitable for all, making it easier for companies to manage costs as needs change over time. The pricing model minimised financial impact in 2021 by including a two year phased increase for companies with less than 299 cardholders.
What does this mean for me? For companies with less than 299 cardholders, the annual RIW card fee is increasing from $120.00 to $130.00, as detailed in the Company Registration Terms & Conditions for cardholder subscriptions due after 1 July 2022.
