Tracking rates from every major New Zealand lender

The market

The cash rate has fallen from 5.50% to 2.75%. Did your rate follow?

Every OCR announcement eventually works its way into mortgage rates. RateWise tracks both daily, so you know when the rate you fixed at stops being a good deal. This chart is drawn live from the announcements we've logged.

Mortgage Health Score

Monitoring and optimisation, built in

RateWise keeps a constant eye on your mortgage and the market, then turns it into one clear score and a short list of things worth doing. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.

A score that means something
Your mortgage is graded across rate, structure and progress, so a single number tells you how it is really tracking.
Always-on monitoring
Rates, renewals and the OCR are watched for you. When something shifts that matters, you hear about it.
See what matters most
Every insight shows what it could mean for what you owe, ranked by potential impact.

RateWise Guide

A mortgage expert on every page

The Guide sits quietly at the bottom of the app until you need it. Ask about your renewal, today's rates or what a restructure would cost, and it answers in plain English with your own numbers.

It knows where you stand
Your guide sees your mortgage, property and the live market, so answers are about your numbers, not generic tips.
Answers backed by real rates
Every reply draws on the rates, OCR moves and news RateWise tracks daily, shown as clear little cards you can tap into.
It can do the small jobs too
Ask it to switch on rate alerts or update your property details and it will, always checking with you before it changes anything.

The Guide offers general guidance, not regulated financial advice. Talk to a licensed adviser before big decisions.
