The rates that stop the nation

It’s race day, and Aussies across the nation are placing bets on the Melbourne Cup hoping to pick a winner and pocket some winnings. But, if you’re after a more odds-on favourite way for your bank balance to gallop ahead, we’ve rounded up the field of some of the nation's best savings and home loans from the Mozo Experts Choice Awards for you to pick from! 

Some of the top contenders in the savings race include the Macquarie Savings Account at 5.50% p.a. and ING’s Savings Maximiser at a generous 5.50% p.a. too. If you’re looking for a safe bet with a guaranteed outcome, right now you can still lock in rates of up to 5.15% p.a. with term deposit providers like Judo Bank. 

In the home loan stakes, switching to a lower rate mortgage such as Unloan’s 5.99% p.a.variable home loan or IMB’s 2 year fixed home loan for 5.69% p.a. could shave thousands off your repayments annually and give you a leg up to cross the finish line on your mortgage faster.
