In this essential financial update, we break down the ACCC's rejection of the ANZ-Suncorp merger, a $4.9 billion deal that could've changed Australia's banking landscape. We dive deep into the role of major banks, second-tier banks, and the ongoing fight for market share in home loans and other sectors. As if that's not enough, we also explore the dramatic surge in refinancing activity in 2023, due to rising interest rates and the attractive incentives major banks are offering. Unpack the reasons behind the trend, who's leading the charge state by state, and what this could mean for house prices.
