In this session, the Get Rich Slow Club dive deep into the murky world of bank transparency – especially when it comes to interest rates.

What do “basis points” really mean compared to percentage rates? How can you tell if your bank is actually offering the best deal on your savings account or mortgage? This episode unpacks the jargon and outlines the key criteria to look for when comparing rates, whether you're locking in a fixed loan or riding the wave of a variable one.

You’ll also learn how to find the most competitive savings interest rates, and how to stay informed as banks shift the goalposts. If you’ve ever felt confused by your bank’s rate changes, this one’s for you.
