My current interest rate is at 5.99% with Ubank with about $180k owing.
Was it supposed to go down?

I'm on a variable IP loan P&I with Westpac, 6.27, soon to be 6.02
didn't have to battle for it
What's the loan size may I ask?
CBA will be at 5.76% (~$580K loan) after the drop on the 28/2/25. Other one with Unloan and is now at 6.04% (~630K loan) after the recent rate drop.
LVR? God knows. But should be worth ~$870-900K and ~$850K respectively according to CBA's app.
PPOR: 5.93% currently with ST George (5.68% after the cut). Deal was obtained through a broker mid 2023. Tiny LVR (~$200K owing, ~$1M valuation).
5.44% Westpac Rocket Repay
Variable?
Yes, 100% variable now.
How did you get that?! It's being advertised on their website as 7.74% currently?
Any point of contact broker or lender?
That's really good rate!
Now, it's 7.44% as per https://www.westpac.com.au/personal-banking/home-loans/varia….
How? Please share.
I had a 1.6% discount for the life of my loan, and.0.4% for my new loan. The person who 1st signed my up at Westpac was amazing, new hell of a lot, this was 14 years ago. She is now near the top of Westpac, and still gives me assistance,even though she doesn't need to. I now also deal with the head of home loans, as he was her intern a while back.
what's a crazy good rate. how??
Have PM'ed you
6.24% right now for P&I Investment, waiting rate drop on 7th of March
5.99% (soon to be 5.74%) PPOR UBank
Called CBA asking to offer me better rate than 6.25 (current PPOR) and after speaking to the retention team, they've offered 6.15% pre-cut, dropping to 5.90% tomorrow. I havent taken it yet. Approx 370k loan amount, with rough 920k valuation. Not sure if its worth approx 0.20 basis points drop if I go with HSBC or St George offering 5.94% pre cut adding in the discharge fees, new loan package fee etc. I need offset + top tier points credit card which I use for everyday spend, while salary sits in the offset.
After loan costs in changing over, I'd take that 5.9% from CBA if I were you!
Unless you shop elsewhere and go for a $4k cashback or something at 5.8%.
If they aren't locking you in, take the offer though! You can always shop later, but its way better than 6.25%!
Thanks mate, I think thats the right choice for me for the time being. Pretty sure the "inconvenience factor" of switching is where the banks gain their advantage :) . Been with CBA ever since I landed in Oz and I cant complain anything about their service.
Oh I completely understand!
I use CBA netbank for day to day money management, it's by far the best out there (and I've tried ALL the major banks and most of the 2nd tier). CBA is the best for netbanking.
I'm currently on 5.98% variable with CFCU, having come off a three year fixed loan at 1.69%, but looking to refinance to BoC who will be offering 5.58% variable rate with offset (inclusive of a 0.1% discount for having solar panels) for my PPOR as of 3/3, PLUS a $3288 cashback offer and $3000 broker cashback.
This is the lowest rate I could find, having gone through multiple mortgage comparison sites and several brokers
What’s BoC? This offer seems amazing
Bank of China
Please share your broker details
5.84% locked until Jan 2026, 100% offset, PPOR, $15/month fee, Bendigo Bank
It was a little risky locking (started the loan in Jan 2025), my mindset ws preventing large losses rather than chasing gains
If there's only one more rate drop (of 25 points) before Jan 2026, it'll be close to even
You're already losing out
There are a few products available on the market with a better rate (and also fully offset)
Qudos Bank
Summerland
Cut finally applied.
5.51% and 6.19%, both with STG.
Can you share details about which loan it is? 5.51% is excellent
No probs!
PPOR
P&I
930k balance
63% LVR
What's the actual product name?
6.54% investment principal, interest & fees.. also with an offset account,
all those with IP loans seem low.
My IP IO was 6.87% pre rate drop also (LVR 70-80%)
(less than IO by 3.7% or so)
Maybe most people are on fixed investment loans?
