comparison rate
The Comparison Rate provides an indicative interest rate that takes into account certain costs associated with setting up and maintaining a loan, including the annual percentage rate/s, loan establishment fees and any other up front or ongoing fees. It does not include any government and statutory fees, as these fees are standard for all lenders and for certain types of loans. It also does not include fees and charges that are 'event based' and which may or may not apply throughout the term of your loan (for example, redraw fees or early termination costs).
The Comparison Rate will allow you to compare different loans with varying interest rates and fee structures and also allow you to compare mecu loans with those provided by other lending institutions. All lenders are required to provide a Comparison Rate when advertising interest rates for lending products.
The Comparison Rate is calculated by lenders based on average loan amounts and loan terms relevant to the loan product. mecu calculates the Comparison Rate for home and investment loans on a $150,000 loan for 25 years.
