An explanation of comparison interest rates
On all CUA advertisements for home and personal loans, you will see a 'comparison rate' appearing after the interest rate. A comparison rate is a tool designed to help consumers identify the true cost of a loan.
The comparison rate includes the annual interest rate and the upfront and ongoing fees and charges relating to the loan, expressed as a single percentage figure. For example, an advertisement displaying an interest rate of 5.49% p.a. may have a comparison rate of 6.75% p.a.
Under the National Credit Code, all lenders must include a comparison rate, in addition to other prescribed information, when advertising an interest rate.
Compare with caution
Comparison rates can be a useful tool for comparing the overall cost of different loans, however they have some shortcomings. Many add-on features which some members find very valuable are not taken into account in the calculation of the comparison rate.
When choosing a loan, it is important to research the features of each loan to find the product that suits you best. You'll find most of CUA's home loans offer the ability to make additional and lump-sum repayments without penalty, and include free redraws and many other features that are not available from our competitors.
These features are not reflected in our comparison rates.
