OPINION: The CommComm inquiry into competition in banking delivers just one impactful solution
Earlier this week, the Commerce Commission released the findings of its report into competition in personal banking. Heavy on the analysis, and light on actual recommendations—what good will the report actually do?
NZ property market & OCR update - August 2024
Well, there it is, folks—the good news we’ve all been waiting for. The Reserve Bank has begun the process of gradually unwinding high interest rates, pushing through a 0.25% cut to the Official Cash Rate. So, now that we’re in a falling rate environment (woohoo!) what’s that going to mean for New Zealand borrowers, and our economy?
Opinion: Flippity-flop—The RBNZ’s upcoming OCR review, and a case for changes to the way OCR decisions are made

Outstanding guidance and service from Adam. I don't know why someone wouldn't use Squirrel. Accessible responsive knowledgeable understanding of our situation and goals and making it all so easy, we were so grateful to work with Adam and Squirrel and recommend the them both without hesitation!

It was a great experience. The refinance helped me greatly and put me in a position to keep my apartment
Christa
A huge thank you to my advisor, Kat. She worked so hard to get a mortgage offer for me. She admitted that as I did not tick all of the boxes, she would have to present my case differently. I'm so grateful that she didn't give up on me, as other mortgage brokers had. She is so hard working, clever, lovely and friendly. I would recommend Kat to anyone looking to purchase a house.

We've used Squirrel investment and mortgage services. On the investment front, we found it easy to use and the interest rates were excellent, selling our investments was easy when we needed to as well. Mortgage services were great too - Emma listened to what we needed, and our circumstances and got us a fantastic deal. The process was smooth from start to finish, with excellent communication and advice along the way.
