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.

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.
