No. They use illustrative rates on a reducing balance with no fees. Your lender's rate, processing fees, insurance and whether interest is flat or reducing balance all change the real cost, so always ask for a full repayment schedule.
Reducing balance charges interest only on what you still owe, so interest falls as you repay. Flat interest charges on the original amount for the whole term, which costs more for the same quoted rate. These figures assume reducing balance.
