Firstmac home loan rates

Where it sits

6.33% Firstmac, lowest open

5.84% The benchmark

0.49pp higher

The benchmark is the rate at which a third distinct lender appears in the sorted list. It is not the lowest rate anyone publishes. Anchoring on the lowest would put a green loan or a veterans' rate under the whole market, and name a difference nobody can capture.

Both figures are advertised rates for a new customer. The discount a broker negotiates is published nowhere and is not in either number. Read your own rate against this.

No band here goes above 80% of the property's value. That means Firstmac publishes none — not that it will not lend above 80%. Whether it does is not in this data.

What changed

Firstmac last moved a rate line on Thursday 10 September. Every line is read each morning and has come back the same since.

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

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. Same place. 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. What this site collects.

Building something with this? There is an API, and the data is free.

Found in the data: what lenders charge above 80% and the rate a fixed loan resets to.
