Rates dropped and $3,000 cashback for refinances

Best part is these are rates after the RBA 0.25% increase has been applied!

Refinance your home loan over $250k with an LVR of 80% or less to qualify for $3,000 cashback.

This has a free and unlimited redraw, with no offset and no annual fee. With offset has $395 annual fee.

No application fee

Apply for an eligible home loan before 30th June 2022 and pay no application fee.

Our Pick Of The Rates - full list available via link

Owner occupier variable LVR under 70% = 2.09% (comp 2.53%) 2 year intro
Owner occupier variable LVR between 70% and 80% = 2.19% (comp 2.53%) 2 year intro

Investor variable LVR under 70% = 2.49% (comp 2.93%) 2 year intro

    Can existing customers obtain this? We were about to move banks as we want to refinance and gain some funds for renovations. We’re frustrated with how high our current rate is Westpac given the significant lvr we have in our property.

    Have banked with Westpac for Decades, as has my Dad, ran a significant family trust/company through them as well. Went for a small mortgage as a mature age candidate (Our money is in a big share portfolio of blue chips, that are paying good franked dividends, so don't want to sell them off instead of mortgage.

    Westpac found it all "too hard" even though, as I said we have banked with them for 30 years or more. We ended up going with SunCorp.

        Unconditional letter came through on the 26th, back dated to the 17th !?!
        Docs came through the day after, with incorrect interest rate (2.34% instead of the reverted 2.09%)
        How long do you think it should take the broker to rectify that and get amended loan docs through?

        • Store Repfootyboy @ Blue Owl Finance on 30/05/2022 - 10:01

          If you applied before the promo date, they usually won't honour the new rate.

          Might need to be a new app, best to check with the broker.

            @footyboy: Hmm… it was 2.09% when we applied many moons ago.
            Then the rate increase and the re-introduction of the honeymoon rate both came into effect on the 17th, along with our approval.

    Looking to refinance my loan with 100% offset balance. Is it something you would be interested in? As you can understand, I am only doing this for cashback. Ideally looking for loan with offset account and no annual fees.

    • buckster on 20/05/2022 - 07:09

      If there's no annual fee, cost of offset will normally be factored into your interest rate

      • avitherock on 20/05/2022 - 22:57

        Don't really care abt the rate as the offset account will have 100% balance

        • buckster on 21/05/2022 - 07:53

          Then just go with someone like tic toc? ~120/yr for offset

      Then add these to the difference in a (potential) variable rate over 2 years' time minus 1.99% for $400k. Beware that the 2.09% variable rate quoted here will grow along with raises in the cash rate.

      Is the sum more or less than 3000$? There's your lucky number if it makes sense or not to refinance.

    It is variable so cant guarantee 2.09 %

    • nobro25 on 19/05/2022 - 14:07

      Well it is guaranteed at 2.09% until the next rise by the RBA. Excludes rate rises happening this month. Most fixed loans are above 3%.

      Most likely this will go above 3% that's atleast another 4 rate rises assuming each one is 25 basis points only. Which is very likely.

    • vr4indian on 19/05/2022 - 14:11

      Assume , if current rate without discount is 3% and WBC offers 2.09 post discount.

      However if WBC lifts the rates from 3% to 5% in 12-24 months due to any reason, 2.09 will be updated to 4.09.

      I think this offer is pretty normal offer and one can get larger benefits ( cashback etc ) in current market.

    Is the 2.09% rate locked at time of application and also without any extra fees? Often big bank lenders change the rate at the time of settlement to the detriment of customers.

    Im confused about the "This is a honeymoon rate for 2 years. Rate will jump 0.40% after 2 years, would be a good time to consider another refinance"

    But according to the comments, its variable which will subject to change next month?

    • Binchicken22 on 19/05/2022 - 14:35

      Literally the first word of the heading… 2.09% Variable rate. Since the last few of years where it's been a better deal to get a fixed rate it's like people have forgotten how variable rates work!

      Yes, if Westpac raise their rates (due to reserve bank decisions or any other reason) the rate will go up, at the end of the 2 year "honeymoon" period, it will also go up by 0.4% of whatever your rate is at the time as that is the extra discount being offered here… For 2 years…
      well plus the 3k cash bonus, that's the real deal here as banks Lile Athena, tictoc and unloan are within spitting distance of this 2.09% rate.

      • valleyrain on 19/05/2022 - 21:39

        2.09% Variable rate.

        the rate will go up, at the end of the 2 year "honeymoon" period

        It’s should be fixed rate if it’ll go up only at the end of the 2 year period.

        I agree it’s confusing. Westpac could raise rates during this period and still give a discount, which could bump the rate above 2.09% during the 2 year period. OP would have to clarify if Westpac would increase the discount if rates were to go up so that the variable rate stays at 2.09%. I don’t believe this is the case though.

  • Jimmye on 19/05/2022 - 14:57

    Why would someone chose this over Athena?

    • ozisaver on 19/05/2022 - 15:17

      Cos it’s currently cheaper if you don’t need an offset and Athena isn’t a bank so you’re not protected under the Financial Claims Scheme.

        Fair enough, big difference, thank you.

      Well, I checked 86400 and they charge an annual fee of $250. So, "assuming" everthing equal, for the first 2 years I would actually pay $5 less per month with Westpac despite a higher interest rate than 86400. Obviously after the first 2 years that would change, but it does make this deal look good.
