Equity Release - Highlighting the true cost of products

[jane.irwin]

Providing insights into the actual cost of products, and the amount that would need to be paid back at a certain age, helps consumers better understand the options available and how they compare to each other. 

By showing the impact of compound interest and how the loan could roll up to a higher amount than expected, demonstrates how rates and fees can impact the size of the loan in future.

These insights are key to ensuring customers understand products as fully as possible, and therefore to achieving this outcome.
