If you read us from Australia, you should know that we have now released a similar service, interest.com.au.
It is designed to help readers understand some of the big international economic forces that affect the Australian economy, through to how the economy affects borrowers and savers.
As part of this service, we have a unique set of home loan interest rate tables covering more than 80% of the mortgage market, and are rolling out broader coverage every month.
These home loan rate tables report rates and rate changes for
- owner occupiers or investors
- for both principal & interest loans, as well as interest-only loans
- across all LVR ranges
- with rates applying to either full package service, of basic lending
You can check these rates by State.
And there's more. A separate view shows you the same choices on a Comparison Rate basis. Or you can look at them on an Effective Rate basis. Many things come into play, including account fees, and package costs. The Effective Rate view takes them all into account for your borrowing level.
Our tables are ordered in strict alpha order, and do not prioritise institutions who pay to get to the top. We don't charge them to be listed, so this is a clean, clear comparison in whatever view you choose.
We also have rate tables covering Savings Accounts. And Term Deposits.
You can stay up-to-date with the changes, not only with the up/down arrows in the tables, but we have articles analysing who has changed what, and who has the market leading positions.
And you can register to comment. Reader comments are free in this service.
If you know of family & friends who would value our type of financial reporting focused on Australian news, data, tables and opinion, let them know this service is now 'live'.
We know it will be a multi-year journey to become as ubiquitous in Australia as we are in New Zealand, so any help you can give to spread the word will be appreciated. We are up for the journey.
