Mozo Expert Rated

From time to time, Mozo's Experts are called upon to assess a new product that wasn't included when the last Mozo Experts Choice Awards were awarded, or to assess whether a limited-time offer or a product feature is among the best. Here's the list of assessments performed, where the product or feature was considered to be a strong offer for customers and was endorsed with a Mozo Expert Rated badge.

Mozo Expert Rated

What is Mozo Expert Rated?

Mozo Expert Rated badges recognise new products, great limited-time offer or innovative features that are at the leading edge of the market. Based on rigorous analysis by Mozo’s Experts, they give you an assurance that there’s something genuine behind the marketing claims. If it’s not among the best, we won’t endorse it. 

The Mozo Expert Rated badges are a companion to the Mozo Experts Choice Awards, which are held once every 12 months for each category.

Athena

Athena Home Loans

Mozo's experts have examined Athena's existing customer guarantee and loyalty bonus and found them to be an uncommon promise in the home loan market, worthy of recognition. In addition to rewarding existing customers with a loyalty discount each year for up to 5 years, Athena will automatically lower the rate for existing customers if they ever do so to attract new customers. These features ensure that existing customers get Athena's best rates.
