The going rate is the lowest rate at least three lenders reach, so one lender's odd price cannot set it.

Both are advertised new-customer rates. A negotiated discount is in neither. Read your own rate against this.

What changed

Firstmac last moved a rate on Thursday 22 October. Every rate is read each morning and has come back the same since.

Every lender that publishes rates, and every rate move since capture began.

Beside it

Of 93 lenders with a variable rate anyone could take for a home you live in and pay down, 71 publish a lower one than Firstmac's 6.58%. The nearest either side:

Firstmac is a Firstmac brand. The group's other brand with a page here: loans.com.au. Each publishes its own rates.

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 Firstmac told you, it is usually one of these.

The published data is wrong

Firstmac 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.
