Frequently asked questions
- What are the lowest investor principal and interest rates?
- Today the sharpest match on the panel is 6.04% p.a. from HSBC. Rates change daily, so the live table on this page always shows the current ranking.
- How often are these rates updated?
- The rates on this page are refreshed daily from across the lender panel and ranked by comparison rate, the true-cost figure that includes fees. The figures reflect the most recent update, not a static snapshot.
- Is the lowest rate always the best loan for me?
- Not always. The cheapest headline rate can come without features like an offset account, and your deposit size, income type and goals all change which loan suits you. Use the rate as a starting point, then weigh the features that matter to your situation.
- What is a comparison rate?
- A comparison rate folds most ongoing fees into a single percentage so you can weigh loans on their true cost rather than the advertised headline rate alone. It is the metric these rankings sort on.
