Date: 16/11/2010

Canstar Cannex has today announced that it has awarded four of the Greater’s products its prestigious five star rating – two home loans and two savings products.

  • Greater Great Rate 2 year Fixed Rate Home Loan
  • Greater Great Rate 5 year Fixed Rate Home Loan
  • Greater Access Saver Account
  • Greater Bonus Saver Account

Greater product manager, David Bryde said the Canstar Cannex ratings were more proof that the Greater Building Society offers its members some of the best deals in town through a great range of award winning products and services.

“Because we are a mutual, owned by members, not shareholders, the Greater can continue to offer its members competitive rates, low fees and better service than the banks,” Mr Bryde said. 

“These ratings show people that are looking to switch from the major banks that there are outstanding alternatives in the marketplace,” he said.

Canstar Cannex head of research, product and strategy Steve Mickenbecker said that to help consumers to better compare financial products it classifies them from one through to five stars, based on their rates and features.

Mr Mickenbecker said that products that are awarded five stars offer outstanding value and are a guarantee to consumers of a high-performance product.

The recognition of these products by Cannex Canstar is just one of a number of awards the Greater has received in recent months.

The Greater has been named Australia’s Building Society of the Year by AFR Smart Investor and in the Mozo People’s Choice Awards.
 
In the AFR Awards, the Greater took out Basic Home Loan of the Year and was also a finalist in the standard variable and fixed rate home loan categories. In the Mozo awards the Greater was voted as one of the Top 2 home loan providers across Australia, out of all of the major banks and other lenders.
