Members Equity Bank remains
a market leader on home loan
interest rates
All banks must tell you about their comparison rate when talking about home loan interest rates in their
advertising. The comparison rate reveals the various fees and charges, such as monthly fees and application
fees and is designed to tell you the true cost of your home loan, so that costs cannot be hidden from you.
At Members Equity Bank (ME), our advertised rate is the same as our comparison rate. We are the only
bank in Australia in this unique position. This is because ME charges no application fees or ongoing
monthly fees on any of our home loan products.
The rate that we quote is the true rate that you pay. In addition, not only is our advertised rate the same as
our comparison rate, we have the cheapest standard variable rate when compared to the major banks.
