How does bank assess your borrowing?

Saneel from Mount Roskill

Read our latest blog on test rate also known as Sensitivity Servicing Rate (SSR).

The current interest rate environment does impact the test rates, the lenders would be quick to push the rates, which can impact your borrowing power.

Check out the blog here: skfg.co.nz...

⚠️ Some of the lenders have pushed up short to medium fixed term rates
⚠️ Protect yourself and your family so that financial strain is avoided. If you have existing insurance cover, well done, take some time to check whether it is adequate.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
