The OCR went up. So what? 👀
It’s now sitting at 2.75%, up from 2.50%.
Yes, it matters.
But it doesn’t have to dictate your entire mortgage strategy.

Some people spend their weekends chasing the perfect IPA🍺
Mike spends his brewing one... and helping Kiwi get ahead with their mortgage.
Safe to say, he's living and breathing the NZHL way.
At NZHL, we're not here to tell you to cut out everything that makes life fun. We actually believe having a hobby is a pretty good investment too.
Because having a mortgage shouldn't mean your personality gets put on hold.
It should mean building a life where there's room for the mortgage and the things you're genuinely into.
Craft b**r. Surfing. Pottery. Golf. Woodworking. Whatever fills your cup (or pint 😉).
