Talk it through
A 15-minute call about your current loan, your rate and what you want the loan to do next. No credit check to get started.
Refinance the SMART way. Most Aussies chase the cheapest rate and leave the rest to their new bank. John looks at the whole loan, so the saving ends up with you, not the bank.
A 15-minute call with John. No obligation, and no credit check to get started.
A bank's number one goal is to make as much money from your loan as possible, and refinancing is no different. It's a chance to keep you focused on the rate, the one thing they control, and leave the rest up to them. That's how you end up paying the most interest over the longest time.
Tide flips that on its head and looks at the whole loan.

John Kennedy has worked in finance since 2003: asset finance, then business and commercial banking with Westpac and NAB, and private banking with ANZ. Inside the banks he saw how often customers stay on the default setup and never review their loan. In 2017 he started Tide Financial, his own business, so you deal with John from the first call to settlement.
Tell John where your loan is today and what you want it to do. You'll leave the call knowing your options, whether or not you go ahead.
