    The interest rates alone cancel out the $1000 "saving".

    Cheaper elsewhere.

          I dont think anyone in the market can beat the 3yrs fix @ 4.19% (yes, UBank can, but they only do vanilla loans). No way a variable loan is anywhere near 4.19%.

          Definitely a deal.

          I personally think fixed rate is a better indication of a "deal" oppose to variable, because variable changes with little prediction and is based on the lending institution. for example, NAB could the cheapest in variable today, but does not mean they are going to be the cheapest tomorrow.

          Yes. We will go back to variable once the fix it over. That's when we need to look for a cheaper rate else where.

          [ EDIT ]

          i dont think comparison rate is a good indication because it's
          Based on
          - a 25 (maybe 30) years loan term
          Assuming:
          - variable rate does not change for the loan term (after it drops off the fixed rate)

          personally find a good way to compare loans are based on:
          - fees and charges
          - today's rate (assuming we refinance for a best available deal at the time fixed rate expires)

          No point trolling for the sake of trolling.

          I have contributed my 2 pennies worth for the ozbargain community. Unless someone else can justify a better way to compare loans, I think my username plays little in how valid my comments are.

        • @googleyahoo69:

          To op first… Put some effort in and list the fees applicable. I quick look tells me there are $800 in app fees and val fee.

          To googley… This is also a 'vanilla' homeloan much like loans.com and ubank which definitely offer a better deal.

          Also, if a bank is offering a lower interest rate for fixed than variable, than where do you think the banks believe the interest rate is going?….. Down! You are not smarter than the bank, full stop.

          Ummm. Yeah they are. I've got one at 4.08 and one at 4.24%

          Yes and no. App fees are usually waived through brokers. Applies to NPS.

          Credit unions offer lower rates in general because their funding cost is lower than banks. A physical good is generally cheaper when you buy more. Not the case with interest rates. The more a organisation borrow reduces their rating and increases the cost of funding.

          4.19 3yr fix, is lower than the variables offered by the banks (after 1-1.3 percent discount. The question is, do you think it will go lower than 4.19. The banks are predicting the rate like all of us and could get it wrong too. So banks do not hold all loans on their books, they onsell to hedge. This will reduce their exposure (on the hedged portion) when they bet wrong.

          I think you have misinterpreted what a vanilla loan is. For example, Ubank does not write loans with guarantors whilst NPS does.

          I am not smarter than the banks, but I would like to shop smarter.

    NAB gave me $1K for signing up with them as well.

    • STG (incl BoM and BSA) and WBC previous offered the same campaign as well.

      EDIT: Similar, not the same.

    Remember banks will charge discharge mortgage fees too, need to factor that in. Usually a few hundreds.

    • Plus Government fees too.
