  • HSBC is 4.39%. No deadline.

    • Not for much longer, "HSBC will increase its variable home loan interest rates by 0.25% p.a. with effect from 21 November 2022" https://www.hsbc.com.au/

      • It's already built in to the new customer price. A week ago it was 4.14%.

        • Might be a good idea to double check with them. We don't have HSBC on our panel, but they could have delayed their response to the October cash rate increase, and the 4.14% could be before the October cash rate increase.

  • One Two Home Loan is 4.09% potentially as low as 3.94% if you repay more.

    • Interesting..

      Have you had any experience with them?

      • Joined when they had the cashback promo.
        1. Their approvals process is a little too intrusive, even questioning individual transactions when you give them access to your accounts.
        2. Unrivalled value in my opinion. Rates are competitive and they dont seem to jump at rate hikes like the others.
        3. This is my biggest pet peeve: no online portal. Literally have to email to get answers on loan balance, confirmation of extra payments, etc. they say it’s coming soon but still waiting. Will say the email replies are prompt but I’d rather have my own account ready for online viewing.
        4. Doesn’t affect me anymore but also no offset or redraw, meaning all extra funds I had in my old offset had to just get sunk in.

    • Just keep in mind the website says "The RBA has increased the cash rate by 0.25% p.a. on 4 Oct 2022. We’re reviewing our rates and will have an update soon." It's a hint that they haven't decided how to respond to the October and November RBA cash rate increases, and quite likely they will eventually pass them on as 2 x 0.25% on top of the 4.09% as of today.

  • Is the cashback amount based on net (of offset) loan amount or nominal amount?

    For example, $900k loan with $200k offset would it be $4k or $5k cashback?

    • The Citibank cashback is based on the total $900k loan amount. Our extra broker cashback is based on the $700k net amount.

  • Interesting. What is the fee structure?

    Annual fee?
    Lodgement fee?
    Discharge fee?
    Fee just for the hell of it (like other banks)?

  • Citibank has 2 loan products, the basic loan has no annual fee, but has $399 application fee and $250 settlement fee, no offset account.
    If you want an offset account, you can go for their home loan package, there's $350 annual fee, $0 application fee, $250 settlement fee.
    Citibank discharge fee of $350 is payable later when you refinance again or sell the property. But now you need to pay the discharge fee for your existing lender, and also the land title office cost which is around $250-$400 depending on where the property is.

    • Was working through the schedule slowly.

    • Is there a simplified loan product with an offset account with no annual or on-going fee?

      • You can opt out of the home loan package, but you will have the $8 monthly fee and your interest rate will be much higher. Unless your loan is extremely small (which will not qualify for the cashback), you're better off with the home loan package if you want an offset account.

  • Where I can see 4.44% on their website?
    It says 4.74% https://www1.citibank.com.au/home-loans/home-loan-rates

    • It's a special pricing we have access to :)

      • Is the cashback also something only you have access to? Can't find it on their website.

        • +1

          Not sure if you get it if you apply direct, but a lot of brokers can get the same cashback. For whatever reason it's not advertised on their website. We don't charge a fee anyway, please feel free to use us as your broker :)

  • Do I need to get discharge / refinance authority from my current lender? @Mortgage Broker

    • The form is usually on the website somewhere, we can find it and pre-fill it for you to sign :)
