Just make sure that you are looking at each financier\u2019s <i>comparison<\/i>\u00a0rate, not their\u00a0<i>advertised<\/i>\u00a0rate when doing your analysis.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-127188 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/loan-home-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"Loan Home\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/loan-home-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/loan-home.jpg 855w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/>The comparison rate is the rate that is actually applied, net of fees and other charges.<\/p>\n<p>The advertised rate is often a lower, headline-grabbing number that doesn\u2019t take into account the additional costs that you\u2019ll be charged.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing between one of the big four banks or a smaller institution, it is helpful to remember that the big four all answer to shareholders and have significant overhead costs, which contribute to the markup on their financial products.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller institutions don\u2019t face the same significant expense sheet when turning a profit, so have a natural advantage in many ways when it comes to interest rates.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"features-fees-and-offers\">Features, fees, and offers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Generally speaking, smaller lending institutions offer products that will include a similar package of features as the big four.<\/p>\n<p>However, an area of difference will potentially be in the offset and redraw facilities. <\/p>\n<p>The big four offer the ability to redraw on your loan if you\u2019re ahead, and also offer an offset facility, giving you flexibility in the way you manage your debt and repayments.<\/p>\n<p>This can be very attractive if you\u2019re planning to leverage the equity or perhaps are considering some debt and investment strategies.<\/p>\n<p>However, smaller lenders are accustomed to competing on these issues and can potentially offer some very creative solutions to help you with your goals.<\/p>\n<p>If all other areas of research are leading you towards the smaller banks, then make sure you talk to them about features that are important to you.<\/p>\n<p>Credit cards, fixed vs variable, additional repayments are all areas where the big four can find good points of difference to smaller lenders so make sure you really understand what features you will need and use.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"customer-service\">Customer service<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Decades ago, the bank manager had personal relationships with the customers and focused on providing excellent tailored and personalised service to keep customers at the bank.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-161392 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bank-service-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bank Service\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bank-service-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bank-service.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/>This person acted as a trusted advisor as well as a banker.<\/p>\n<p>Today, customers have a choice about the type of service they would like and for some, the personal touch doesn\u2019t appeal.<\/p>\n<p>So, an online-only service, using an app to do all their banking, with the backup of a call centre, is more than enough.<\/p>\n<p>If this is you, then there are myriad smaller institutions that will suit your needs.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a place with lots of convenient branches, then the big four might be a good starting point (although these continue to diminish rapidly).<\/p>\n<p>If a more personal and tailored experience is important to you, then a smaller institution, such as a credit union or building society could be the best option.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"approval-time\">Approval time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Generally speaking, the more automated the process the quicker it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Approval times can be an important consideration if you are buying in a hot market (a description that certainly applies to housing in 2021).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-161393 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loan-approval-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Loan Approval\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loan-approval-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loan-approval.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/>While pre-approvals can be sought quickly when going to auction or putting a deposit down on a property, the actual amount you have available to spend is the most important thing and full approval is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>The big four banks have very efficient processes in place that can move standard approvals through very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>However, if there\u2019s something non-standard about your application \u2013 such as perhaps being a self-employed person or buying with a higher debt-to-income ratio, then it may take longer to hear confirmation from the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller institutions tend to be a little faster because there are much smaller volumes of loans to approve.<\/p>\n<p>A range of banks \u2013 big &amp; small \u2013\u00a0 use technology and other means to try and \u201cfast-track\u201d their approval process as this is certainly a key differentiating feature.<\/p>\n<p>Others have a \u201chands-on\u201d approach where a full assessment may suit a client so they have more certainty with the loan application outcome.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"risk\">Risk<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All deposit-taking institutions are backed by the government and the level of risk is the same across the big four and smaller institutions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-92682 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Risk-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Risk Factor\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Risk-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Risk.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/>However, where things differ is the possibility of being forced to change lenders.<\/p>\n<p>From time to time a smaller lender might be acquired by a bigger institution.<\/p>\n<p>If this happens to you, make sure you look at the features and rates that your product offers and see if the new lender can improve upon it.<\/p>\n<p>So, be prepared to compare.<\/p>\n<p>This is the place where mortgage brokers flourish.<\/p>\n<p>Our ability to cut through and layout the options across multiple lenders can see you benefit mightily from competition in the lending space.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">ALSO READ: <\/span><\/strong><a
