What is a comparison rate?

A comparison rate is a tool that helps you compare the true cost of a loan. It includes the interest rate, fees, and charges, and expresses them as a single percentage. However, it does not include other factors that may affect your loan, such as repayment frequency, loan features, or early exit fees. Therefore, you should not rely solely on the comparison rate when choosing a loan, but also consider the overall benefits and drawbacks of each option.
