3 Mozo Experts Choice Awards The Mozo Experts Choice Awards are an initiative from Mozo that recognises Australia s best value financial products and helps Australians save money by choosing better products. The Experts Choice Awards are designed to complement the popular Mozo People s Choice Awards, which are voted by customers and recognise banking and insurance institutions with the highest customer satisfaction levels. For the Experts Choice Awards Gold medals were awarded to the top 10% of products that meet the selection criteria in each awards category. A maximum of 10 individual products were awarded gold in each category. In the Best Value Major Bank and Home Lender of the Year categories only one medal was awarded. Further information about our awards methodology can be found below. What Home Loan products do we consider? Mozo assessed 390 home loan products from 81 credit providers in the course of carrying out its analysis for this research report and subsequent awards. To be considered the loan must be a genuine product issued under the provider s brand, with full details visible on the provider website. See the appendix for a list of the credit providers assessed. Rates, fees and features were taken from Mozo s database and confirmed as correct between 30th March and 9th April 2015 by contacting the relevant credit providers or from publicly available sources. We aim to include most home loans in the market in the Mozo Experts Choice Awards. However, not every home loan product will be included in our review, nor is every feature that may be relevant to you compared. Page 2 of 21
4 How do we calculate the cost of each home loan? Repayments were based on the minimum monthly repayment that would be required to pay off a loan amount of $350,000 over a 25 year period. For each of the variable interest rate award categories (1, 2, and 3) we calculated the cost of every eligible loan over a period of 5 years by totalling the minimum monthly repayments (principal and interest) and all mandatory upfront, ongoing and discharge fees. This calculation was performed three times using the rates and fees applicable at the end of January, February and March of The results of these three calculations were then averaged. The exceptions to this were the Fixed and Best Big 4 Bank categories that are detailed below. Fees included in the calculation were: Application/establishment fee Valuation fee Legal fee Settlement fee Ongoing regular service fees Discharge fee which is payable for exiting the loan at the end of the assessment period for each award (e.g. the fees for exiting the Best Value Variable Home Loan products after 5 years). A Discharge Fee is charged by the lender whenever a loan is finalised, whether that is when the loan has been repaid or when a borrower wishes to change to a loan offered by another provider, in which case a fee would be charged for the administration work involved in releasing the mortgage. Any loans where the fees listed above could not be determined were excluded from the awards. Other fees were not taken into account, including: Any one-off exception and penalty fees Fees for services except any specifically stated in the calculation above. Page 3 of of 21

7 How the Mozo Experts Choice Awards are determined Only rates available for a loan amount of $350,000 were considered in the Awards. They must be available to Owner Occupier borrowers and allow Principal & Interest repayments. Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Home Loans are awarded in the following categories and based on the following methodology: [ 1 ] BEST VALUE VARIABLE HOME LOAN Aim: To identify the variable rate home loans with the lowest cost over 5 years. Method: To qualify for this award loans must allow an loan-to-value ratio ( LVR ) of 80%. Of the qualifying home loans, the 10 with the lowest average cost were awarded gold. [ 2 ] BEST VALUE FULL FEATURE HOME LOAN Aim: To identify the variable rate home loans with comprehensive features that has the lowest cost over 5 years. Method: To qualify for this award loans must: Allow an LVR of 80% Have a variable interest rate Have a 100% offset facility Have a redraw facility Offer the ability to split the loan between variable and fixed rate portions Of the qualifying home loans, the 10 with the lowest average cost were awarded gold.

Method: To qualify for this award loans must allow an loan-to-value ratio ( LVR ) of 80%.")
8 [ 3 ] BEST VALUE FIRST HOME LOAN Aim: To identify the lowest cost home loans over 5 years that are available for borrowers with less than 20% initial deposit. Method: To qualify for this award loans must have a variable interest rate and allow an LVR of 90%. Of the qualifying home loans, the 10 with the lowest average cost were awarded gold. [ 4 ] BEST VALUE FIXED HOME LOAN Aim: To identify the home loans with fixed rates that have the lowest cost over a range of fixed terms. Method: To qualify for this award loans must allow an LVR of 80%. For the fixed rate award category we performed the same calculation as for variable loans (see How did we calculate the cost of each home loan section above) but only for a period equal to the length of each fixed rate period, then divided the result by the number of years to find the annual cost of each rate option. We did this calculation for each fixed rate period available with the product (eg. 1, 2 and 3 years fixed interest). We then took the best 3 results from each product and averaged them. Providers with less than 3 fixed rate options were excluded from consideration. Of the qualifying home loans, the 10 with the lowest average cost were awarded gold. To identify the lowest cost home loans over 5 years that are available for borrowers with less than 20% initial deposit. [ 5 ] BEST VALUE MAJOR BANK Aim: To identify the major bank (National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac and ANZ) with the lowest cost portfolio of loans. Page 7 of 21

9 Method: The rank for each bank s best performing loan offered in each award category was divided by the total number of products in that category to determine its percentile rank. We then calculated each bank s average percentile rank from those results. The major bank with the lowest average percentile ranking was awarded Gold. [ 6 ] HOME LENDER OF THE YEAR 2015 Aim: To identify the provider with the most award winning loans across the categories judged for these awards. Method: The number of awards received by each provider was counted. Where more than one provider received the same number of awards the variety of categories and suitability of the winning products for a wide variety of borrowers was also considered. Page 8 of 21

10 How we manage conflicts of interest Mozo Experts Choice Awards is based on objective verifiable facts and analysis. Mozo s research team analyses product data and determines the winners in each Mozo Experts Choice category without reference to Mozo s sales or commercial functions. Our internal structures help to avoid conflicts of interest arising between our research team and other areas of the business in the generation of our research reports. Details of how we are paid are contained in our Financial Services Guide. Credit providers can participate in the Mozo Experts Choice Awards free of charge. Mozo charges a licence fee to credit providers to allow them to use the Mozo Experts Choice badges in their own marketing activities, and offers promotional packages that may be purchased. A credit provider that receives a Mozo Experts Choice Award may choose to list its products on the Mozo website in a way that may generate revenue for Mozo. Mozo Experts Choice awards are awarded irrespective of a credit provider s commercial relationship with Mozo.

23 Experts Choice Research Report Addendum 27 August 2015 Bankmecu changed its name to Bank Australia effective from 17 August 2015, and at the same time changed some of its product range. The Go Green Home Loan that won awards in the Best Value Variable Home Loan, Best Value Full Feature Home Loan, and Best Value First Home Loan categories is no longer available. The Low Rate Home Loan Special that won awards in the Best Value Variable Home Loan and Best Value First Home Loan categories was replaced by a loan called Basic Home Loan. All of the features of the Low Rate Home Loan Special that were used in judging both categories are unchanged. Therefore the Basic Home Loan qualifies for the same awards as the Low Rate Home Loan Special. The awards given to the Low Rate Home Loan Special have been transferred to the Bank Australia Basic Home Loan in both the Best Value Variable Home Loan and Best Value First Home Loan categories.
