Athena has done it again in 2021!  

For the second year running, the online lender has snapped up a Mozo Experts Choice Award for Home Loan Innovation. 

And this time around it's for the AcceleRATES home loan that was introduced last year. 

“Athena has proven again that it is an innovative lender as it continues to offer competitive rates to customers in new ways,” said Mozo Expert Judge, Peter Marshall. 

“As judges, we were impressed by the AcceleRATES feature which automatically decreases the variable rate on the loan as the balance is paid down and a customer’s loan-to-value ratio lessens.” 

Marshall explains that what stood out to the experts this year was the fact that as customers pay down their debt, Athena ensures that they are offering the home loan lowest rate available from the lender. 

“This is a well-deserved win by Athena for the second year in a row. Unlike some other lenders that reserve their top rates for new customers only, AcceleRATES means existing customers also benefit from lowering their LVR and staying loyal.” 

On top of the Home Loan Innovation Award, Athena also took home two additional 2021 Mozo Experts Choice Awards in the Low Cost Loan and Investor Loan categories.
