2.24% for new loans. 2.39% for existing customer (after requesting a review).

Later St George.
- BaeSuzy on 14/10/2021 - 19:40
  
  i got 2.24 after asking, after a terrifying process with them.
  - LuckyDrew on 14/10/2021 - 20:06
    
    Refinancing away gets me 2.29% and $3288 cash back.
    Even if they’d gone to 2.24% the lack of a cash back would see me leave.
    
    To be fair to them, they did pay match a cash back to keep me with them 9 months ago.

  I'm paying 2.6, time to give them a call.
  - LuckyDrew on 14/10/2021 - 21:22
    
    Also be prepared to refinance away. A $3k cashback and a lower rate is a pretty sweet deal. For basic redraw and a respectable LVR there are good options out there. HSBC $3288 and 2.29%. BOQ $3k and 2.19% but more fees (application and monthly).
    
    Getting st george to pay you to stay also sweet. Tictoc and Athena doing 1.89% and 1.99% respectively. But no free money. For me the cashback puts me ahead for a good few years vs the lowest available rate.

Just got another loan with STG, their process was horrible, and gave me anxiety, i only stuck with them due to loyalty with my other loans.

New home owners, beware of the process from pre-approvals to formal approvals.
- funnysht on 14/10/2021 - 19:58
  
  why what was the issue- did you buy or auction?
  - BaeSuzy on 14/10/2021 - 20:07
    
    pre-approval took 48 days.
    Then they gave us a wrong pre-approval
    6 days later, the senior assessor came back with an approval TWICE the pre-approval.
    
    We bought the place, but the whole formal approval/unconditional approval, took 25 days.
    Ridiculous.
    
    Broker told me i was unlucky in this whole procedure.
    - TheGuru on 15/10/2021 - 00:06
      
      I think that is standard St George.
      
      I applied with St George for a pre-approval in August. Still waiting….
      
      Broker told me they are hopeless but so are the rest of the big banks
      - BaeSuzy on 16/10/2021 - 10:14
        
        @TheGuru: not true.
        
        During the auction time, i was pissed ABOUT stg, so i opted to get another pre-approval from NAB (which was what my broker suggested in the first place), came back in 17 days; and higher approval.
        
        My friends went to the smaller banks it came back within the week and cba was actually the quicker one of the big4.
        
        I would of never went with STG, if it wasn't for my other loans + loyalty. You are in for a ride when it comes to the unconditional loan, my advice is to somehow buy before auction and grab a cooling off if possible. But then again, could be me.

BankSA has been a tererible process. Just refinancing with them, their ESIGN platform was not loading properly and required access to my location otherwise wouldn't work.
Do not recommend them.
BankSA and St.George are the same.

  yeah, we couldn't even submit our desginated account for shortfall/surplus.. aha

If I borrow and fully repay the next day. Am I still eligible for the $3000 cashback
- Russ on 14/10/2021 - 23:03
  
  Unlikely, StGeorge don't pay the bonus until several months after the loan commences.
  
  However, if your loan is variable with offset account, you could possibly "repay" into the offset account on day 2. The loan is still open, but you aren't paying interest, so close the loan after the bonuses pay out. But go through the terms and conditions with a fine-tooth comb to check this is okay.
  - shahdevang87 on 15/10/2021 - 00:13
    
    I got paid $4000 cashback by St George within 1 week of settlement. This was around 2 months back.
    - Russ on 19/10/2021 - 02:17
      
      My mistake, I was thinking of the broker bonus. But also check the terms of the StGeorge deal, to see if there are any "claw-back" provisions if the loan is closed before some specified time has elapsed.
  - jfdo on 15/10/2021 - 00:29
    
    Thanks for the advise
  - mariaB on 15/10/2021 - 08:36
    
    This depends on the account you have and how you set it up.
    I don't have an offset with them but overpay on my mortgage (essentially the same thing, however).. any monies I pay in before my monthly payment date sits in limbo … I don't have access to it nor does it offset any interest. On my payment date, it then gets swept to my overpayment.
    
    I did not realise this and for this reason, want to move but not sure, since I went through a broker and got the cash back, whether I need to stay with them for a period of time.

      Cash back offers can have "claw back" provisions, where you may have to pay back the cashback if you leave early. There are also "break costs" if any part of your loan has a fixed term and you leave before that term is up. And there are always fees to close down a loan and start a new loan.
      
      If you don't understand the "legalese" of your loan contract, a quick call to the broker you used should clear it up, just ask them if there are any penalties for leaving now. If the broker isn't helpful, I suggest you talk to the people at your local politician's office. They are very helpful people, and will probably be able to recommend someone to check over your loan contract.
      
      Also be aware that lenders can see how long you've had your current loan for, and will be reluctant to agree to a new loan if it hasn't been at least two years since your last loan.

        @Russ: Which banks have claw back clauses for their cashbacks?
        
        Russ on 20/10/2021 - 13:34
        
        @El-Rhi: I'm not experienced in this area, but it appears clawback clauses apply to cashback from the broker. Possibly they may affect cashback from the banks, as some banks appear to have their home loan division as a separate company, and the bank merely facilitates the loan.
        
        Clawback is mentioned quite a lot in home-loan deals:

Awful process with SG- submitted my application first week in Oct 2020 and my loan settled 18 Feb 2021, no reason.

I had a horrible experience when i swapped over to St George -

I ended up switching back after 3 months with them.

They covered all my fees off switching back and gave me back the yearly fee along with overcharged interest.

You really need to examine their figures.

Their loans department is overseas which is why it can take up to 3 months to get anywhere.

CBA and others are based in Australia
Sushi-chan on 15/10/2021 - 10:18

Just a word of warning. We went through Len Bundles broker for a home loan previously… the "bank cash back" that was promised in their previous ozbargain posts is misleading. They only give it back in giftcards which you have to pick a retailer for… not cash!
- wildchill on 16/10/2021 - 02:54
  
  Branch lender said it gets paid into the offset account they create for you… But takes up to 60 days… They never said anything about gift cards !?

funnysht on 17/10/2021 - 22:09

anyone used their broker service for auction? do they take a while or just same as if i applied directly to the bank?
irmalik on 19/11/2021 - 13:02

I had applied and got refinanced with St George recently. Just so you all know, I was paying 1780pcm for a 2.49 ING loan (484k) but after refinance 1.89(430k) and 2.54(60k) with STG I am paying 1795. This is excluding the yearly package fee. Now I am no finance guy and probably just thought a lower interest rate will make my monthly repayments less. So make sure you ask for what will be your repayments will be before making the decision. Cashback will definitely help I suppose.

This was posted 2 years 6 months 6 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
