# About CDR Compare

> How CDR Compare works, where its data comes from, and what it deliberately does not do.

## What this is

CDR Compare is a free tool for browsing and comparing Australian financial products. It shows every product published by banks *and* non-bank lenders — home loans, savings accounts, credit cards, personal and business loans — with the rates, fees, features and eligibility criteria each provider publishes.

Non-bank lenders joined the Consumer Data Right in 2026, which means you can now compare a mortgage from a major bank against one from a digital lender, or a car loan from a manufacturer's finance arm, all from the same authoritative source.

## Where the data comes from

Everything comes straight from public APIs mandated by Australia's [Consumer Data Right](https://www.cdr.gov.au) (CDR). The [CDR Register](https://api.cdr.gov.au/cdr-register/v1/all/data-holders/brands/summary) lists every data holder, and each holder publishes its products at a standardised endpoint defined by the [Consumer Data Standards](https://consumerdatastandards.gov.au). No accounts, no API keys, no scraping — just the same open data available to everyone.

There is no database behind the site: pages fetch straight from each provider's API on demand and cache the response briefly for speed (the provider list for up to 24 hours, product data for up to an hour). What you see is at most an hour or so behind each provider.

## What it isn't

This is not financial advice, and it does not rank, score or recommend products. Data holders occasionally publish incomplete or stale data, and some holders' APIs are unreliable — when a provider's API is down the site says so rather than guessing. Always confirm details with the provider before making decisions.

## Who's behind this

CDR Compare is built and maintained by [Fiskil](https://fiskil.com), an Australian company that builds Consumer Data Right infrastructure. Fiskil does not rank, score or recommend any product shown here, and there are no affiliate links — every number comes straight from the provider's own published data.
