Rate Review for homeowners
Most homeowners overpay by $4,200+ per year

When did you last
review your rate?

If it's been more than two years, there's a very good chance your bank has quietly moved you onto a rate that's 0.5–1.5% higher than what's available today. That's real money, every month.

A free rate review from Fairbanks takes one conversation. We compare your current rate against 90+ lenders and tell you exactly where you stand — no credit check, no obligation.

The Rate Gap

What your bank charges vs.
what you could be paying

The “loyalty tax” is real. Australian banks systematically offer lower rates to new customers than to existing ones. After 2–3 years without reviewing, the gap is almost always significant.

Big 4 Bank (existing customer)

Loyalty Tax
7.14%

Banks quietly move loyal customers to higher SVRs. The longer you stay without reviewing, the worse it gets.

Big 4 Bank (new customer)

New customer deal
6.29%

Banks offer better deals to attract new customers than they do to retain existing ones. You're funding that discount.

Non-bank lender

Competitive
6.09%

Non-bank lenders don't carry branch overheads. That saving is passed to borrowers through sharper rates.

Our promise: zero pressure, zero obligation

We get paid by lenders when you switch — not by you. If switching doesn't make sense, we'll tell you that clearly.

No. An initial rate review involves no credit check whatsoever. We only run a credit enquiry if you decide to formally apply for refinancing, and we'll always tell you before doing so.
