Natter that matters

Energy delivered to your home is exactly the same product as for your neighbours, but retailers’ annual charges can differ by hundreds of dollars. Share if you’re getting a good deal.

Ask which car insurance provider your neighbour uses, as suburbs are often rated for risk by insurers. Energy providers and some telecommunications companies offer ‘refer a friend’ incentives or discounts.

Listen to your neighbour’s experiences, but don’t forget to compare financial products based on your own personal circumstances.
