Our interest rates explained
Understanding the different types of interest rates will help you make an informed choice.
-
A fixed rate stays the same for the life of the loan, so your loan repayments will also stay the same.
A variable rate can go either up or down over the life of the loan – this means your minimum repayment may change. A variable rate loan also gives you access to a redraw facility, so if you need money unexpectedly you can redraw extra funds you’ve paid.
-
A comparison rate is used to help you identify the true cost of the loan, including the interest and some fees and charges. This makes it easier to compare the overall cost of different loans.
When you read comparison rates, take note of the loan amount and term that they are based on. These affect the comparison rate and you want to be comparing apples with apples.
