What’s the difference between the cash rate and interest rate? And how do they affect your mortgage?

In this episode, Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, breaks down how the RBA’s cash rate connects to the interest rates Australians pay on their home loans. You’ll discover how the RBA sets the tone for the broader economy and why banks don’t always mirror official rate changes.

Junge also explains how movements in the cash rate can shape your borrowing power, monthly repayments, and property market demand across Australia. Whether you’re a homeowner or an investor, understanding this link helps you make smarter, more confident financial decisions.

Watch now to learn how RBA rate decisions flow through to your mortgage and how to think like an informed investor.
