Infochoice dominating financial comparisons
17 July 2009 |
| |
| The global financial crises and associated frequent interest rate changes has encouraged Australians to research and compare interest rates on the internet like never before, and most of them are going to infochoice.com.au.Research released from Hitwise Senior Analyst, Sandra Hanchard claims an increase in mortgage interest rates by the majors has prompted financial commentators to encourage consumers to shop around for deals from a range of financial institutions.“Searches for ‘home loans’ by Australian Internet users accordingly doubled during the week ending 20 June 2009, reaching the highest point in search volume since late April 2009. Infochoice dominated financial comparison websites clearly with over 50% market share of visits for the week ending 20 June 2009”, she said.InfoChoice attributes its growth to its on-going efforts to improve the user experience and increasing relevance of interest rates in today’s economic times.“InfoChoice has more than 15 years of experience comparing and reporting on banking products and are known to Australians as a trusted source of information. It is important to show consumers a significant range of products and we list over 90% of the products which makes us different to most other comparison sites. In addition to showing interest rates we also display product features and fees”, said Shaun Cornelius, CEO of InfoChoice. |
