Armed with UNO's intel, PJ called her lender and got a better rate

After plugging a few details into UNO’s loanScore tool, PJ discovered her home loan rate was almost two percentage points higher than others offered on UNO’s panel.

When we launched loanScore, our plan was to create transparency about loans for customers – and where possible, enable them to get a better deal. Knowing that many of our consumers had never asked their lender or broker for a better rate since they took out their loan, we wanted to create a simple way for borrowers to assess if their loan was healthy. Secondly, we wanted to be able to update them regularly on the health of their loan and empower them to take control of their finances, using technology, their own data and the knowledge that there might be a better option out there for them. UNO’s loanScore tool enables customers to analyse how their loan compares to others in the market and see how much they might save if they take action to switch it. Curious to know how much you could be saving? Why not check out our loanScore tool today. It takes two minutes and it’s totally free. It’s a great place to start to see if you could be on a better rate. Or read on to see how PJ used loanScore to get a better rate.

How UNO helped PJ save thousands

UNO customer PJ signed up (it’s free) and used loanScore to test how her investment loan was performing. After plugging in a few details, PJ learned that at 5.01%, the interest rate she was on was more than two percentage points higher than a lot of the rates on our panel at that time. “The tool showed me I could save over $10,000 over 3 years,” PJ says. “I’m quite happy with my lender ING but that kind of saving opportunity was enough to make me switch. “Armed with the information from UNO, I called ING and they dropped my rate and have agreed to keep the discount off the standard rate for the life of the loan.” In just a few months, thousands of Australians like PJ have signed up to UNO’s free refinance calculator. Some have found peace of mind upon learning their loan is in good shape. Others have been able to take action to improve their position. PJ says: “I’m so glad I used the UNO loanScore tool. By using the tool across my two investment loans I could see how how bad my rate really was. I’ll definitely be checking the health of my loans more often now. Thank you, UNO.” Check your loanScore now

A massive thank you to Nathalie and her team. I've dealt with many brokers who will quickly throw their hands up and walk away if they think even a small issue will impact a deal. Not Nathalie! Not only will share compare different loans, she'll actually dig into the exact lending criteria and will do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. She saved us literally thousands per month on our refinance! Thank you again guys, truly are the best!

Just wanted to take a moment to recommend Tim Lesina for anyone contemplating reverse mortgages. For many of us in our retirement years financial independence is uncharted territory, not to mention downright confusing. I contacted Tim just to enquire how this might work should I go down this path. Tim was so patient and understanding of both my limited understanding and my initial fears. He went above and beyond in factoring out different scenarios, with nothing being too much trouble. Moving forward with my reverse mortgage needs I will definitely be using Tim and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Scott is an outstanding broker! Nothing was ever too difficult - steered us in the best direction for our situation which wasn't the easiest! Always kept us abreast of what was achievable even when we didn't think it was. Created realistic expectations without losing site of the the ultimate goal. This is our second time working with Scott and his team at UNO and it was a no-brainer to return. They've earned our trust :) Highly recommend Scott if you want a knowledgeable, reliable and genuinely supportive broker - especially for this rollercoaster ride ! Thanks again Scott !!
