    As an ex St George customer, just want to warn you, once they have you in their system, you will look at that $4k and think was it even worth it?

    The Big 4 (St George falls under Westpac) treat their customers like crap once they're hooked in.

    I recently transferred to Athena and have never ever ever been happier re home loan.

    The interest rate you receive is clear, no BS, everyone receives the same rate based on their LVR tier.

    With Banks, once the promo is over, it's always a case by case thing and everyone is paying a different rate.

    • Smol Cat on 10/02/2022 - 10:54

      Damn only just realized Athena doesn't lend to apartments >7 floors and built after 2013. Shite out of luck :(

      Does anyone know an alternative to Athena that provides actual savings on home loans outside of the big banks?

    Are there any lenders that provide rebates for loans under $250k? I have one year left on my fixed loan and by that time I will be under $250k.

    • hongerwonger on 10/02/2022 - 10:30

      you can always top it up to $250k - if you don't have use for the extra cash just stick it in the offset or redraw and you won't be paying interest on it

      • JIMB0 on 10/02/2022 - 10:56

        Will they let you get a large amount of cash out when refinancing?

        • Store RepNick-AzuraFinancial @ Azura Financial on 10/02/2022 - 10:57

          Hi Jimbo,

          As long as you can service the debt and your LVR stays below 80% there would be no cash out restrictions

          • virhlpool on 10/02/2022 - 14:17

            @Nick-AzuraFinancial: If you are transferring multiple loans, does each loan need to be minimum $250k or the total needs to be that?

            • hongerwonger on 10/02/2022 - 16:56

              @virhlpool: total loan needs to be >$250k and you don't get multiple rebates for multiple loans above $250k

    • Aureus on 10/02/2022 - 10:30

      If it is just a bit under you could ask to borrow more to use for investments and then just chuck the extra money back in to your mortgage. Got to also make sure there is nothing in the T&C preventing this.

      • onetwothreefour on 10/02/2022 - 10:54

        Yeah it will probably be around $230k by then so not really wanting to borrow that much more just to take advantage of a rebate but it's a good idea.

      Hi Onetwothreefour,

      ANZ previously played in this space but have recently withdrawn. As HongerWonger stated you could submit a refinance application at the end of your fixed term to get you to the $250k mark and then stick these funds in offset or pay it straight back in to the loan!

      • onetwothreefour on 10/02/2022 - 11:49

        Thank you, I have some time to think about it so we'll see next year.

    • hoangdekiem on 10/02/2022 - 16:25

      with the fixed rate going up, it is likely that you can break your current fixed rate loan for 0 cost

      • El-Rhi on 11/02/2022 - 13:05

        Yes it’s possible, break costs are very low if any these days. Just call your bank

  • cute as duck on 10/02/2022 - 10:36

    I recently got unconditionally approved within 6 days from Athena Home @ 1.89% for variable P&I <60%LVR, with $250 referral bonus. If you are looking at a barebones product, they are highly rated within the OzBargain community. Only thing missing is PayID but it is apparently coming soon and obviously physical banches (the latter of which isn't important to me). They also don't charge a useless $395 annual fee to lock in a great rate.

    These rates don't look all that competitive since I last looked about a week ago? Most lenders for Owner Occupied and P&I fixed rates were under 3%. 5yrs is the exception.

    We refinanced with St George last year and the service was atrocious. I am glad that we locked in a great rate and received a cash bonus but the process took months. Parts of our application was lost and then they locked us in at the wrong rate. We needed to constantly harass them for things to be corrected.

    • DingoBlue on 10/02/2022 - 16:29

      Same. Please be aware of delays and tough checks.

      Also note the credit cards are "a different department" and they will happily reject you, despite being approved for a home loan and having signed up to the "package" fee.

    • stratbargain on 10/02/2022 - 18:10

      Same. Three months and three different loan specialists. First two just disappeared and didn’t pass my details on. Had to do the whole process three times over. Ended up pulling the pin after three months and going elsewhere. They were a complete joke. Just glad I wasn’t in a rush.

    • Aureus on 10/02/2022 - 14:09

      Depends on your situation.

      Refinance a 250k loan to St George and you get around $3200 cash after fees. Your interest rate will be 2.19% vs 1.89% with Athena.

      With Athena you will be saving $450 per year. So will need to stay with Athena for 7 years to come out ahead.

      Nothing stopping you from grabbing this offer and then 6 months later refinancing to another lender for another cashback.

      So if you have a small loan and don't fear paperwork, then this is a no brainer.

      • virhlpool on 10/02/2022 - 14:19

        Does churning loan providers frequently impact the credit rating?

          I am sure it would have some impact, but I have refinanced 3 times in the past 4 years and have been through a stack of credit cards. I still have excellent credit and have never been denied a credit card or mortgage.

          There are people who refinance multiple time in a year and are constantly churning credit cards.

    • El-Rhi on 15/02/2022 - 06:41

      You get the cashback then move to Athena

    • Aureus on 10/02/2022 - 15:36

      BoM and St George are both Westpac, so you won't get the rebate. Maybe consider going TicToc for 1.89% with $2022 rebate (Probably around $1200 after fees).

  • blackhorn on 10/02/2022 - 15:44

    is there any room for negotiation for 2 year fixed rate for INV IO or is it final ?

  • bio on 10/02/2022 - 15:44

    If you have a, say, $500K mortgage, is it possible to refinance the $250K with one lender and the other $250K with a different one to get two cashbacks?

    • Slo20 on 10/02/2022 - 16:31

      No because you have to register the house against the mortgage as collateral. A bank can’t sell half a house if you don’t pay one of your mortgages.

      • bio on 10/02/2022 - 16:54

        Fair point. Can you do it by splitting the loan with the same lender then?

    • Aureus on 10/02/2022 - 19:02

    YMMV but…

    Just refinanced AWAY from st George who could only offer 2.44 fixed for 2yrs and 2.6 variable (had been with them for 5 yrs and loan was 500k)

    Settled on Monday with HSBC 1.88 fixed for 2 yrs and 2.07 variable. For sure their service wasn't all that crash hot but saving such Big dollars over the next two years makes the headaches worthwhile.

  • RocketSwitch on 10/02/2022 - 19:50

  • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2022 - 20:16

  • InfinityXLR on 10/02/2022 - 23:19

    Fom my knowledge, these better rates and cashback are only available for refinance from other banks right?

    I am currenly holding home loan with St George - 1 year fixed. And the fixed term is going to end.

    So I am considering to extend another fixed term with St George or refinance to another banks.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

  • 4253-716HT on 11/02/2022 - 12:46

    St George is one of the bank with highest interest rate in the market.
    Shortly after I notice this deal announced, the Westpac group announced second rate hike within less than 6 months.
    To me, this deal is just to help justify the rate hike… increase the rate with following influx of customer (due to this cashback deal ?!?!). Indirectly, this is to entice all other competitors to go with similar move (i.e. hike the rate)
    I am currently having loan with St George. But, this will change

  • zhy520pp on 11/02/2022 - 14:06

    Thanks Nick. You and your team are very helpful with my refinance two years ago, and renegotiation of the interest rate just last year. It ends up a big saving for me. Definitely recommend to anyone who are looking for a responsible broker.

  • Ash-Say on 13/02/2022 - 09:10

    I just fixed with ANZ @1.99% which comes with 100% offset.

    ST George 1 year rate of 2.59% makes it extra $1836 in interest on $500k payment.

    I don't think it's with it for less than $2k benefit after deducting refinancing charges.

  • Midcrown on 13/02/2022 - 13:13
