    $8,888 cash back and i will consider it

      Asian to asian pricing?

      • +2

        True Asian heavies do 888/8888 cashback on coin flip

  • +1

    What’s rate for 70%LVR at anz?

    • Negotiated rates may depend on loan size and some other factors, but should be able to get 5.31%-5.43% variable rates for owner-occupied loan.

  • Currently have 5.09% variable with Westpac, IP.

    • +3

      how did you get 5.09%?

      • Same loan since I first mortgaged in about 2022. Westpac has consistently matched the rate drops.

    • +1

      One of the lucky loans from 1-2 years ago, right? Haven't seen 5.09% for new loans recently.

    • Yep im on 5.1 with Westpac Variable

      • with offset?

        • Full offset and multi accounts

  • Application fees? CB for one property only per application?

    • Bank of China doesn't charge application fee, but they pass on their solicitor's legal fee at cost (usually around $500). Property valuation is covered by the bank if the property value is <=$1m, otherwise it's charged at cost. Cashback from Bank of China is 1 per client within 12 months (ME Bank can offer $3k cashback per property, if refinancing at least $700k for that property).

      • do they always do a property valuation? What if my LVR is 50%?

        • Yes property valuation is always done. But it's likely to be desktop valuation and the cost is usually small (and it's paid by the bank if the property value is <=$1m).

          • @Mortgage Broker: how long is time from application submission to settlement now?

            • @star-ggg: Currently they're pretty quick, we're seeing approvals in 1-2 weeks. Settlement in around a month is possible as of now.

          • @Mortgage Broker: How much does a desktop valuation cost if the property price is over $1 million and the LVR is 50%? Is there any additional cost?

            • @san87: It's likely to be around $200 but it can vary.

  • +1

    isnt their variable 5.08% thats what im on right now

    • +1

      Current offer is 5.18% (for new loans starting today). They change offers from time to time and have been passing on the RBA rate cuts in full for the existing loans.

  • What's the annual fee?

    • +1

      $190 if you don't need offset account, $395 with offset, first year waived in either case.

  • +1

    Help a numerically challenged Ozbargainer out.

    The broker cashback at 0.1%, for 800k, is that 800,000 X 0.01 or 0.001?

    • +1

      It'll be 0.001 ($800 cashback for $800k loan)

  • +1

    not a bad deal, only concern is whether it is easy to discharge without hassle?

    • I don't see any problem with discharge, just need to submit the form as soon as you know you want to refinance or sell the property (so you have plenty of time)

  • I’m with BoC, I got in on their previous deal which offered $3k cashback.

    Their app is kinda shitty. There’s no Apple Pay. And you can only Osko transfer $1K.

    Some positives are the lower rate and the daily accrued interest that can be seen in the app.

    • How do you transfer large amounts? Also, do you know what the total refinancing costs were?

      • Just standard transfer but it’s not instant

    • +1

      So there's no point having an offset with them? That's a really bad offset account if you can't transfer large amounts in and out instantly.

      • Why is that? How often do you need to transfer large amounts to your offset?

        • +1

          When I want to buy shares today not 24hrs later.

    • +1

      Just thought I'd mention that it's possible to transfer $50k via normal transfer (arrives the next day). The $1k limit is only for Osko (instant transfer).

  • Applicants are entitled to only one Cash Rebate in any 12 month period.

    I’m trying to confirm the eligibility.

    For example, if someone refinanced to BoC in November 2024 and received the Cashback in December 2024, then refinanced to another bank in July 2025, would they be eligible to refinance back to BoC in December 2025 and receive the Cashback again?

  • Current interest rate is 5.39% with a redraw account, why would I choose not to refinance?

    Seems like a no brainer, or am I missing something?

  • Hi OP, is BOc 80% LVR requirement? Or happy with 90% and still eligible for cashback?

    • Maximum 80% LVR
