Our Promise
Our goal is to make it easy for every day Australians to research financial products and find the ones that better meet their needs.
We want you to take control and do your own research using our tools, data and comparisons – to take control of the products and services that you use.
Comprehensive
We aim to bring you a comprehensive list of financial products in the Australian market.
Always free for you
Our service is free – no hidden fees or mark ups.
We provide all our information without the need for membership or subscription fees.
The Details – How it all works
We provide you with the ability to access information on a vast range of financial and insurance products. You can:
Calculate: we have a range of calculators on our site to help you calculate things like
- loan repayments
- stamp duty cost
- how much you are able to borrow
- areas you can afford to buy a home in
- how much you can save
- credit card repayment savings by paying more than the minimum
Find: we have a range of tools on our site to allow you to find products that are most relevant to you
Compare: once you have narrowed your search down to a short list we enable you to do a side by side product comparison including relevant fees, rates, features and premiums
Choose: following your research you should be able to identify the product you believe has the most value for your circumstances
Apply: by clicking on the relevant product links for Sponsored Listings you will be transferred to the relevant institution’s website. For products that are not Sponsored Listings you will need to get in touch with the relevant institution directly in order to proceed to apply for a product.
Which products do we list on our site?
We will always publish ALL products entered into our system regardless of whether institutions pay us a fee, because we believe it is important to provide you with a comprehensive list of products. InfoChoice supports competition on the basis that we believe this is good for all of us.
How do we make money?
Our service is completely FREE to our visitors. We significantly invest in maintaining and improving our website and therefore our service to Australians. In order to support our investment and continue to provide our service we do charge fees to some institutions and advertisers. We do charge for website traffic referred to institutions.
“Sponsored” products are products offered by a provider with which InfoChoice has a commercial marketing arrangement in place.
“Sponsored” products are displayed first within the search results pages and can be re-sorted without this filter by de-selecting the “Show sponsored listings first”. They will have a link to a product provider’s website should you wish to get more information or apply for the product. InfoChoice has a commercial relationship with these product providers and may receive a commission, referral, fee or payment from a provider when you click on a link to a product.

- Cost per Click (CPA) for click referred from the InfoChoice website to a product provider

“Featured” Products and “Advertisement” are a form of advertising. InfoChoice may receive a commission, referral, fee, payment or advertising fees from a provider when you click on a link to a product. We may sort or promote the order of these products based on our commercial arrangements.
Advertising fees from product providers for product advertisements through emails, sponsored content or placement on the InfoChoice website are based on Cost per Impression, Cost per Click, Cost per Application, Cost per Approved Application, Cost per Lead, Fixed Sponsorship/Advertising fee or a combination.

Where do we get our information from and accuracy of data?
In many cases our data is provided and updated directly by the financial institutions. We have processes in place to bring you an up to date and accurate picture of the products and services you are looking for.
On some occasions InfoChoice website may have some product changes that have not been reflected due to the large volume of products we compare and our reliance on product providers. You should confirm any information with the product provider and read the information they provide.
