      Hi Istops,

      The comparison rate is not a good reflection of the true cost of this product:
      1. The comparison rate looks artificially high because the product defaults to the standard variable at the end of 3 years. Any reasonable person would simply switch to the applicable professional variable presently priced in the 4%p.a. range or refix. The cost to switch is presently $250, however, it has been our experience that good borrowers are offered the opportunity to do this for free.
      2. The comparison rate does not take into account the $1500 settlement rebate nor does it take into account the generous 1% Mortgage Reward Offer which in our clients' experience is looking to deliver them back ~$200-300p.a.
      3. The comparison rate is based upon $150,000 over 25 years. This offer is focussed on people borrowing $350,000 plus. For a person borrowing such a sum they could well experience a comparison rate much more closely aligned with the headline rate. You can calculate this using this calculator.

      Lastly, you really need to be making an apples and apples comparison when it comes to rates. The product you mentioned is from a micro lender that is not an APRA ADI. ING is a major global brand that can deliver the commonwealth guarantee on deposit funds for monies held in offset. People typically value that kind of security and brand reputation. Furthermore, as many would agree, a fixed rate will give you certainty over the fixed period. No one can comment with any certainty that the variable rate promotion made today will be delivering a similarly leading price position in 24 months. These forums regularly feature complaints to do with bait and switch variable pricing tactics - having a fixed rate and an upfront rebate is one way to counter such concerns.

      Hope this helps.

      PS If you wanted a low variable variable rate from a micro lender, you may like this other offer at 3.89%p.a. (CR 4.06%p.a.) that we have - or this one at 3.98%p.a. (CR 3.99%p.a.) with a $1000 cashback rebate at 80%LVR - and the lender is a bank :)

      • didn't see the fixed part.
        that is more competitive

  • How does the comparison rate calculated? Wondering why the rate is so far off from 3.98%?

    • Hi Ozlab, thanks for the question.

      As mentioned in our reply to Istops, the comparison rate is a somewhat flawed measure of a product's true cost.

      In this particular product's case the comparison rate is so far off from 3.98%p.a. because:
      1. The product reverts to a standard variable. So it calculates the first 3 years at 3.98% and then the remaining 27 years at the standard variable. Given that it is cheap to switch or refix (presently $250) and often offered to be done for free for good borrowers the quoted comparison rate is not likely to reflect a reasonable person's usage pattern.
      2. It does not take into account the settlement rebate of $1500 (which largely negates the establishment and exit costs).
      3. It does not take into account the operational features of this offer (i.e. the ongoing 1% Mortgage Reward is not factored in).
      4. It is based upon standardised scenarios (typically $150,000 over 25 years). For most people under age 55 they would be borrowing over 30 years (not 25) and have a loan balance of $350,000+ - so the comparison rate dramatically overstates the relative value of establishment fees ($199 in this case) and exit costs ($250 in this case).

      We would encourage you to a model scenario based upon your loan size and intended use. For a person looking to lock in a great deal for the next 3 years we think this offer ticks a lot of important boxes and would be happy to assist you with making some calculations if you'd like to send us a PM.

      Hope this helps.

      • Looks like this is a split home loan with orange advantage. Do you mean after 3 years, the rate will switch back to standard rate of orange advantage?

        • Hi Ozlab, thanks for the question :)

          Most borrowers will take this fixed loan with a 30-50K variable split with the Orange Advantage Variable loan which brings a 100% offset account.
          When the loan is split (between fixed and variable) at the end of the 3 years you would typically have the option to:
          1. Refix.
          2. Roll your fixed proportion into the Orange Advantage variable loan split at whatever the prevailing variable rate is for the Orange Advantage Variable package in 3 years time.

          NB: Advertised cost to make product alterations is $250, but our experience with Naritas clients has been that this is often done at no cost for a reliable borrower in the interest of retaining a good customer.

          Hope this helps.

        • @naritas:
          Thanks. Good to know that. You mentioned "repayments of up to $3,000". Are you sure we can make extra repayment on fixed rate home loan?

        • @ozlab:

          You're most welcome and thank you for your questions.

          You mentioned "repayments of up to $3,000".

          That mention of repayments of up to $3,000 p/m is actually in reference to the unique cashback offer that ING is providing through its Mortgage Reward Offer. The Mortgage Reward Offer provides 1% cash back on loan repayments up to $3,000 per month - in other words you can get a cashback rebate of up to $30p/m (i.e. $3000 x 1%) from ING when you use your account in line with the terms of that offer. So far the feedback from our clients with respect to that offer has been positive as the terms are easy for most people to comply with to get that cashback.

          Are you sure we can make extra repayment on fixed rate home loan?

          In the case of this deal the cap on additional repayments to the fixed proportion of the loan is $10,000 per annum. Clients of ours who wish to overcome this limitation typically take a variable split as the ING Orange Advantage Variable does not impose such a limit. If you wanted to evaluate a specific scenario we'd recommend you have a chat with one of our licenced credit advisers as the info we can provide through this channel can only be general in nature (i.e. it's not credit advice that takes into account your circumstances). Our credit advisers would happily ensure that you had a structure in place that was not unsuitable to your needs.

          Hope this helps.

      • I'm currently considering this home loan before jumping in.

        You mentioned:
        "WARNING: If you select a fixed rate loan, break costs may be payable if at anytime before the fixed term expires, you pay out your loan or you make additional payments of $10,000 or more in an anniversary year, or you ask ING to change your loan type or fixed interest period. Break costs may be substantial. "

        This seems like the biggest cost if we choose to break early. Can you please give an estimate what's the break cost and how it's being calculated?

        • +1

          Hi ozlab, thanks for the question.

          You may find the explanation located here helpful. That explanation is published by ING to assist people with understanding how they calculate break costs for their fixed rate loans :)

          Hope this helps.

  • Any good car loan deal???

    • Hi Vegeto, thanks for the question :)

      We publish the pricing for our most popular consumer car loans here and commercial car loans here. These aren't necessarily our cheapest rates (prices start around 4%-5%p.a. for borrowers with really strong financials) but they do give a good idea of our pricing capabilities for loans designed for the average person.
      If you had a specific scenario you wanted pricing on please feel free to get in touch as we'd be happy to assist.
      Hope this helps.

  • Hi naritas. Do you have any deals to steal my custom away from loans.com.au? $280k loan on house valued about $550k with 100% offset?

    • Hi Gidxg03, thanks for the question.

      We don't see a lot of demand for sub-$300K 100% offset loans so it's not one of our sweet spots at present. Generally speaking, the two deals that we're seeing most interest for sub-300K would be:
      1. The Bank Australia Basic which, although it doesn't offer a 100% offset account, does offer the ability to do online fee free redraw at 3.98%p.a. (CR 3.99%p.a.). At your loan size you could possibly get a cashback rebate of $500 to $1000 at Naritas depending on your circumstances.
      1. The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus variable presentlly priced at 4.09%p.a. (CR 4.45%p.a.). at your loan size you could possibly get a cashback rebate of $1000 to $1500 at Naritas depending on your circumstances. Newcastle Permanent is an APRA ADI that is over 100 years old, offers the commonwealth guarantee on offset deposit funds and has won numerous awards over the years - which is the reason for its appeal at this kind of price point.
      Please feel free to get in contact with us if you'd like to get some firm pricing.

      Hope this helps.

      • Hi naritas
        Was wondering if i wanted the ingdirect variable rate only for borrowing 500k. What is the rate and would the $1500 cashback still apply?

        • Hi Akma1, thanks for the questions & for taking the time to check out our deal :)

          The rate for the INGdirect Orange Advantage variable is currently 4.13%p.a. (CR 4.33%p.a.) sub 80% LVR. If you took at least $40,000 of the loan as a 3yr fixed you would qualify for this deal. That being said, although this particular deal doesn't cover exclusively variable loans, we'd be willing to consider extending the offer to an exclusively variable scenario dependent on the financial stability of the borrower & the complexity of the application. To discuss your scenario in further detail please take a moment to make an enquiry using the secure form located here.

          Hope this helps.

      • +1

        Thanks for the info. I'm interested in the Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus variable so I'll drop you an email.

  • Can you pre-pay interest in advance on the fixed portion of this loan?

  • Is it 3.88% for owner occupier after 0.10% discount?
    "Combine your Orange Advantage home loan with a Fixed Rate home loan and we’ll waive the $499 Fixed Rate home loan application fee, and for owner occupier borrowings you’ll receive a fixed interest rate discount of 0.10% p.a. off our advertised fixed rates."
    https://www.ingdirect.com.au/home-loans/orange-advantage.htm…

    • Hi Ozlab, thanks for the great question.

      The interest rate (as at today) is 3.98%p.a. CR 4.66%p.a. (as listed). The 0.10%p.a. Orange Advantage discount is off the 3yr rate listed here (i.e. 10 BPS off 4.08%p.a. CR 4.69%p.a. = 3.98%p.a. CR 4.66%p.a.).

      Hope this helps.

  • Narita Finance writes to me,

    "For us to proceed with this more exhaustive credit advice process we would need to be engaged as your credit adviser and there would be a charge for our services should you not have a loan advanced using Naritas. You can engage Naritas as your credit adviser via our Quotation for Credit Assistance located"

    And their fees are quite a lot…

    Better yet, another lender just gave me a pre-approval of $870k, only a couple of days later… without charging any fee… Is this actually a bargain or a scam?

    • Hi Quasims, we can't discuss any applicant's eligibility for our assistance or an approval in a public forum due to privacy considerations. Suffice to say, the cheapest finance products often have the toughest approval criteria. With respect to fees, we operate a user pays system that allows us to provide generous rebates to nearly all Naritas customers without them experiencing any out of pocket expenses. Unfortunately this means that some applicants with particular circumstances will be disappointed.

  • This fixed rate is probably a bait from ING to lock you in as what they had done previously when they lower the variable rate to 3.99% and then increase it after we signed up with them to even higher rate than new customer rate now:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/209403

    Keep in mind that interest rate in Australia is expected to be 1.75 percent according to reliable forecast because AUD is getting better now. ING already warns for huge break cost.
