A 5% interest rate sounds great—until you discover $500 in hidden fees. That's why Australian law requires lenders to show a comparison rate: the true cost including fees and charges.
Example:
Loan A: 5% interest + $500 fees = Higher comparison rate
Loan B: 5.5% interest + $200 fees = Lower comparison rate (better deal!)
We always quote comparison rates so you know exactly what you're paying. No surprises, no hidden costs.
