Does this look wrong? or could it be better

Two different things go wrong here and they are fixed in different places. If a rate on this page does not match what BOQ Specialist told you, it is usually one of these.

The published data is wrong

BOQ Specialist publishes these rates itself, under the Consumer Data Right. Nobody here types them in and nothing here can correct them at the source. If the feed is wrong, every comparison site reading it is wrong in the same way. Reports about a data holder's feed go to the Consumer Data Right, and published-data quality is on the ACCC's enforcement list.

Everything identifying the feed is filled in below. The one part left is what you saw.

This page reads it wrongly

The rate is published correctly and this page has misread it. A band shown against the wrong loan type, a fee counted twice, a product that should be marked restricted and is not: that one is mine. Tell me and I will fix it, and say which lender so I can find the row.

Something is missing

A figure this page should show and does not, or a lender that should be here and is not. Tell me through the feedback box. The data behind every page here is free to download if you would rather check it yourself first.

Free, and not advice. It knows only what the lender publishes, not what you could negotiate. A licensed broker does this for a living. Who made this. What this site collects.
