Think rolling off a fixed rate onto your lender’s variable is your best move? Think again.
In this lesson, Ben explains why many Australians miss out on better deals simply by not questioning the rate they’re handed after their fixed term ends. Spoiler alert: the discount you’re offered after a fixed rate isn’t always as sharp as what you could get by negotiating a new variable rate upfront.
The difference might seem small—but over time, it can cost you thousands. Don’t assume the default offer is the best one. A little awareness here goes a long way towards keeping your money working harder for you.
