When advertising a loan, lenders will often quote a rate (the advertised rate) but the actual cost to you can be different. The APR (annual percentage rate) is the effective rate being charged to you after all fees and costs have been taken into account in the loan. Occasionally the APR can be lower than the advertised rate, yet most of the time it will be higher. In some instances it can be as much as nearly double the advertised rate so it’s important to know what you’re committing to and what you will end up paying over the life of the loan.
As a borrower, all of your interactions with credit providers are recorded. Every time you apply for a new credit facility, repay your loan on time or miss a payment, or open or close a facility this is recorded on your credit file. There are multiple credit reporting agencies that record this data and use this information to create a unique file on you as a borrower to understand how reliable you are at repaying debt. From this, the credit reporting agencies will derive your credit score which lenders will use to understand the potential risk in lending you money.
As the data being held on every borrower becomes more sophisticated, this allows lenders to better understand if and how much they wish to lend to you. Some lenders will give borrowers better interest rates for higher credit scores. This means something as minor as missing a repayment on a loan could equate to higher costs of borrowing in the future!
Many lenders attract new customers with low interest rates and then slowly transition new customers to higher rates over time to increase the margin they make on your loan. They do this by slowly adjusting your interest rate in the background. Banks report a difference between new customers and existing customers on average of .46% - equating to potentially thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
We recommend speaking to a broker at least every 2 years to make sure your loan is still competitive in the market. Brokers have tools to reduce your loan interest rate or find you a better loan.
