  • Discount Plus home loan with offset - 6.18% below 80% (CR 6.55%)

    P&I or IO?

  • Yea nah.

  • +1

    why is CR so much higher than advertised rate?

    • Annual package fee most likely. which is waived 1st year and OP doesn't state how much it is after the 1st year (Probably around $400)

      • 395

      • But the fixed rate shouldn't have a package fee since there's no offset facility

        • +2

          Why do you care about the comparison rate for a fixed rate loan? They're completely meaningless unless you plan to not refinance at the end of the fixed period and allow the loan to go to a non-discounted standard variable rate, which you wouldn't do.

          • @thestig: because the CR contains all fees and charges……

            • +1

              @star-ggg: You should probably look up what comparison rates are and what they mean.

            • @star-ggg:

              because the CR contains all fees and charges……

              Nope. CR was the government's attempt at providing some sort of benchmark for comparing mortgages but it's completely pointless as the figure used is $150k over 25 years and almost no-one's mortgage is $150k over 25 years. The higher above your mortgage gets above the $150k, the more meaningless the CR becomes.
              It's yet another example of government services that cost us all money which offer zero value.

              • @1st-Amendment: Whats the best way to compare variable rates?

                • @jm7:

                  Whats the best way to compare variable rates?

                  Maths.

                  Each mortgage product is different so there is no simple way to compare, you need to get out a calculator. Generally it boils down to the interest rate vs fees.

                  • @1st-Amendment: Thanks. I'm trying to figure out where to refinance to. Currently paying 6.14% with ubank and not super keen to refinance again soon because I plan to have a baby.
                    Looking at up, unloan, and tiimely variable loans. I can't see any banks with <6% offering cashback to cover the fees it's going to cost to transfer the loan. But then again, if the cashback is decent and I refinance in say 3 years, perhaps I would still come out ahead. My brain hurts…

    @ Bank of China

    There's already a long queue at the door…

  • Thanks China for paying my Medicare and Centrelink.

  • +6

    Seems to be impossible to find any information on fees and charges without sending someone an actual email.

    Fees and charges are presumably substantial, given the unusually high comparison rate.

    The advertised information is incomplete and misleading.

    • Drop a note to ASIC, they will be keen to know about it.

  • +5

    Had really bad experience with them. Very lengthy process for loan approvals. Never again

  • +4

    For obvious reasons I would not use such a bank.

    • +2

      What obvious reason?

      • Lol i am curious too

  • +6

    Terrible experience dealing with them. Kept wasting my time over and over again over 4 to 5 months. Then dishonored the Cashback as they treated the application as a new application when the previous Cashback expired. How convenient. No thanks.

    • What was your experience over 4-5 months? Did they keep asking for more info instead of just getting everything up front? Sporadic updates that they're still processing your loan?

      • AFCA is your friend.

        If any breach of their Aust Credit Licence obligation, hit up ASIC too.

    lol y’all hate china, how’s Chinese business boom in Aussie streets. Thought sushi milk tea takeaway outlets couldn’t survive

    • +3

      Chinese sushi… No thanks

      • -1

        0 sushi outlet I know is from actual japanese

  • If nothing else, the Bank of China building in HK is one of the greatest buildings in the world (from the outside, never worked in it but did work in an office that was very close by so saw it all the time)

    好利率

  • +1

    Any deal from BOC should be banned!!!

  • +1

    They are some bad comparison rates.

  • -2

    People should learn how negs work.

    Negative Vote
    Purpose:

    To let others know about issues with the deal, merchant or product.

    "Gonna be a no from me dawg"

    "Yeah, its a no from me"

    "For obvious reasons I would not use such a bank."

    These serve no purpose at all.

    • 100%

    • -1

      China = bad.

  • O s hit……..I just got my loan with BOC set up last Friday..

    Can I call them to get the better rates?

    6.48% VS 6.18% now

  • +2

    Mods should step in and reverse some of the stupid negs here. I personally hate it when ozbargain gets tainted with political rubbish. A bargain is a bargain regardless of one's political bias. People who don't like certain slant can scroll past. God forbid we'd see an Israel or Palestine company deal here and get people voting on political slant again.

    • -2

      Ozbargain has the most toxic community around. It’s a real shame.

      • +2

        The most toxic? You haven’t met twitter, reddit, facebook, instagram…

        • -3

          I am not on twitter or Reddit, insta and FB I get to choose my friends.

  • Please do not go with bank of china loan. Applied through heros home loan since December last year and its now May. I have not received an outcome. Its not worth the time or effort
