  • Seems pretty good. 5.94 with hsbc < 50% lvr no fees too

  • no deal for me
    6.04% with HSBC 60% - 70% LVR

  • +3

    looks like mebank still has cashback according to their website $3000 + $2000 (comparethemarket) = $5000

    https://www.mebank.com.au/home-loans/refinance/

    • It's mebank included at compare the market?

    • +4

      I was looking at this, their variable rate is 6.17% (vs the 5.98% I have with Unloan). It adds about 1k to the total repayments I have left. Seems worth it for 5000, esp if I refinance in a few years…

      • NAB wouldn't budge from 6.2% recently when I contacted them, might be time to move on. Do mebank or unloan offer offset account?

      • +3

        You also need to keep in mind all application / valuation / discharge / legal fees / government fees etc involved with the change over. Typically $1000-2000 in my experience. Some are transparent, others such as legal fees may not be (e.g. I had a recent refinance where lenders charged ~$400 each for legal). The other thing is these fees are added onto your loan at settlement. so whilst you don't have to worry about them as you don't get a bill as such but they are added on in the background.

        Still almost certainly worth it at $5k cashback but may not be as good as you think.

    • +4

      Can someone confirms this ? Can the cash back b stacked? $5k total

    • +2

      Wouldn’t this work out better for a loan of $700K or more? The broker is offering 0.3%. Which is $2,100. So total is $100 more. And loan has to be $700K for 3k ME Bank cashback.

  • Is CTM going to handle application and documents?

    • Looks like it. Their employees will process application.

  • anyone know if there's any lenders out there that can do 85% LVR on a joint mortgage who's an Aus Citizen & 820 Partner visa?

    Already got knocked back by a few online lenders and 1 big 4 bank

    • +1

      Why would you run around when brokers do this free of cost? Search for a mortgage broker on Ozbargain and go from there.

      • Most brokers don't have access to online lenders like unloan or loans.com.au

        • +5

          True that but these lenders don’t take on anything out of the blue. Which your case is. And if deal is good with a normal bank. Why would you prefer online only lender?

          • -1

            @GuyfromMelbourne:

            Why would you prefer online only lender?

            better rates

            • +1

              @Homr: Assuming that online lenders offer better rates is not right. Heritage/People Choice are offering same as Unloan for variable. They have physical presence. And some brokers here offer broker cashback, which could work out better.

              And I am assuming the first preference is to get a loan and second is better rate.

        • +5

          Most brokers don't have access to online lenders like unloan or loans.com.au

          These lenders are also much more picky. They won't take on customers with a higher risk profile.

          Already got knocked back by a few online lenders and 1 big 4 bank

          This is going to be quite a hurdle to get over the line with, especially if you received multiple rejections in quick succession

          better rates

          You'll need to go for lenders who have a higher rate. Either way, you need to use a broker to get you over the line, at least they will know which lender you are more likely to get you over the line. You can always refinance in a few years time once your partner has PR.

    • Full doc? Your partner will need to have a sh$tload of savings…

      • Full doc?

        Your partner will need to have a sh$tload of savings…

        isn't our combined savings?

    • You will need a broker to find you the suitable lender, lenders don't advertise their lending policies to the public but brokers have access to, having multiple credit enquiries within a short period of time impacts your credit score. Online lenders usually have smaller appetites with risks as mentioned by Lucille, they offer low rates for borrowers who are AUS citizen/PR, PAYG full time, <80% LVR, will not be over the retirement age when the lone term ends, property type and post code are taken into consideration too.

      -I'm a mortgage broker

    • Well, 820 seems to be a temporary visa, no luck for temporary residents. Apply once you get 801 or try doing just under your name completely excluding your partner.

    • +2

      talk to broker, you will not get the best rate possible, but at least you get a loan, refinance once the 801 is approved

    • Westpac and ING Bank should be able to do something like this

  • How do you trigger the email as per:
    CTM will make the Offer to customers via direct email communication.

    • +1

      I don't know, I have found the deal on an ad on Instagram. So I don't know how that it's possible.

      • Fair enough. Just dont want them to deny it based on this

        • I've seen it on social media ads, too. Doesn't appear to be targeted by anything too restrictive

    • Here is the reply I got from CTM

      To be eligible for the Compare the Market cash back, you need to apply for and settle a loan over $100,000 before the 31st of December 2024. The 'offer by email' is referring to Compare the Market issuing an approval from one of the banks on our panel.

      If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us on 1800 787 434.

  • Is there a way to profit off this if you don't need the cash such as borrow, collect cashback, pay off?

    • +1

      Do you have a property to borrow against? Won't be worth it unless you can stack cashback with a lenders offer

  • If you hate the new lender and want to refinance again, do you have to pay the $2k back?

    • +3

      What's there not to like? Not like they perform any service. You just make your regular payments.

      • +1

        Depends if you're getting an offset or not. Then your home loan bank becomes your primary bank with all your savings.

        I refinanced to RAMS and while their customer service is great, their technology is decades behind most other lenders - no visa or mastercard debit card for the offset account (eftpos only which can't be used online), no Osko/payid, frequent maintenance on app/website. I'll refinance again a few months.

    • no need, just the chance you struggle to refinance again so soon.

  • Hi all, does anyone know if having money in an offset account impacts this? Do you need to have a certain amount of debt that isn’t offset? I know in some past cash back offers it hasn’t been an issue, but I’ve also heard for some offers you may need a set amount of debt that isn’t offset.

    • +1

      Doesn't impact. I've moved from lender to lender grabbing cashbacks and they are fully aware that I have more money in the offset than the loan balance.

  • +2

    None of the banks offered are giving substantial cashback for a loan under 400K. Actually almost all of these banks right now do not offer any cashback at all.

    • ANZ's website has this - "$2,000 cashback when you switch an eligible loan of $250k+ and 80% or less LVR"

      Trying to see if valid through compare the market though

      • Sorry if it's a stupid question… but can we borrow $250k to get the deal, if we wanted the cashback… then just pay it down again.

        ie: I have ~$200k mortgage, and can redraw $50k extra if I needed to achieve that.

    • Thanks. That's my situation

  • When refinancing, does the new bank require you to resubmit all financials once again?

    • +3

      Yes, 100%

    • +4

      Well yes, of course. They won't be handing out massive loans to the unemployed, incarcerated and full of arrears. They need to see you have the capacity to service a loan. It's all part of responsible lending.

      Even if you are wanting to refinance with your existing home lender, they will ask you to resubmit these docs.

    • thanks for the response ~

  • -3

    So the $2000 is on top of the lender cash back?

  • Anyone used them?
    Are they like mortgage brokers where you give them info and they find the best option?

  • I tried to confirm with BOQ if they would provide cashback when applying through broker eg. compare the market. And received a 'not sure'
    besides HSBC, they were the lowest variable rate that provides cashback for my loan size :(

  • Has anyone done this and got the double cash back, makes sense if they are offering lenders with great rates

  • Has anyone applied since this post has been up? Can they let us all know how you have travelled with it thus far. Thanks.

  • do you need to stay for 2 years?

  • Reckon the HSBC is the best option with CTM - going through the process now and refinancing from St George @6.19

    Saving .20% and cashback on 550k
