FairRate Canada press and media

Short description

FairRate Canada is an independent, consumer-paid tool that helps Canadian homeowners check whether a mortgage renewal offer from their lender looks fair before signing. It is not a mortgage broker, lender, law firm, or financial advisor.

Why this matters

Canadian borrowers often receive renewal letters that feel official and time-sensitive. Many sign without knowing whether the quoted rate is fair for their province, term, rate type, balance, and current market context.

FairRate focuses on the pre-signing decision. The tool helps borrowers understand whether a lender renewal offer looks fair, high, negotiable, or worth deeper review before they respond.

What FairRate is

A consumer-paid educational benchmark tool for checking a specific renewal offer before signing.

What FairRate is not

Not a lender, broker, brokerage marketplace, law firm, or financial advisor.

What FairRate publishes

Renewal fairness tools, methodology pages, answer pages, and monthly reports as usage grows.

What reporters can cite

The renewal fairness checker, methodology/data sources, benchmark-source page, and monthly report pages.
