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

This is the second time I’ve worked with Mike Parsons, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for mortgage advice. He’s extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and always happy to help. Mike takes a consultative approach, presenting clear options and making the whole process stress-free. Friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again!

Paul was amazing to work with. He went out of his way to help us with every last question. He sorted everything out for us, was a wealth of knowledge in terms of who else to use to support us in the buying process. He made moving from New Zealand so easy. He explained everything to us in an easy to understand way. He really worked for us!!! Plus he's such a lovely funny guy, super approachable. Super responsive, has a great team. Totally took care of us in the whole process. I can't wait to use Paul again and would recommend him to every kiwi moving over and all our aussie friends :)

UNO went above and beyond to help my wife and I with our home loan and settlement. Couldn’t recommend them enough - Jake Wood was an absolute legend! Kept us informed during the whole process and was very thorough with his work, even with a very tight timeframe. Thank you again for all your help, and looking forward to continue using your services!

100% Rockstar. We found Paul and Uno Home Loans from recommendations from people who had used his services. We know understand why he comes so highly recommended. We definitely put Paul and his team under pressure due to an oversight our end which meant that he had to don his superman cape and work miracles for us. We didn't appreciate the very very short window we created for ourselves (think less than two weeks for settlement). Paul was able to wave his magic wand, come up with multiple solutions to our situation and make it all happen seamlessly. It goes without saying then, without reservation that we recommend Paul and his team as our trusted mortgage advisor! Thanks again Paul. *****The limoncello is on route we promise :)

Our entire process with Uno went very well. We had a unique set of requirements for our loan and our super friendly broker Mike Parsons managed to secure us the perfect outcome. Mike also worked above and beyond our expectations to make sure the whole process of completing the documentation of switching banks went smoothly.

Paul and Dalby were incredible to deal with, from the first interaction with Paul a few months prior, to getting approval to purchase, through to the last minute helping us with the final settlement details. Their communication was second to none and they truly went the extra mile. Paul managed to get us more borrowing power than dealing with the bank directly. I couldn't recommend Paul and his team enough. Paul and Dalby, thank you so much for putting hours and hours of work into our application. We really appreciate it!
