For an undisclosed period, Suncorp Bank are offering the below 3 year fixed rate specials, with the first year package fee ($375) being waived.

We think the interest rates alone are pretty sharp but in the spirit of OZBargaining, we are prepared to offer $1,000 cash back if you decide to use Cape Finance to help arrange the loan and the minimum total lend is $400k. Your rebate will be paid within 60 days of settlement.

The following 3 year fixed rate specials are available:
• Owner occ P&I 3.49% (CR 4.25%)
• Investment P&I 3.69% (CR 4.52%)
• Investment I/O 3.69% (CR 4.5%)

Please note that the banks current cashback offer is not available with these specials.

To take advantage of this offer, please email: [email protected]

We always suggest a review of your banks post fixed rate offering close to any fixed rate loan maturing, as this is a perfect opportunity to make sure you are still getting a good deal. This is also the reason the comparison rate is quite high, given the variable rate the bank would switch you to if the loan is not renegotiated.

The following terms for offer have been communicated:
- Maximum LVR 90% (inc LMI)
- Establishment fee waived as part of the members package for the first year
- Valuation fee waived as part of members package
- Credit card and offset account included as part of members package
- Minimum loan size $150,000

We strongly suggest utilising the 'rate lock' option to secure this rate at the time of application - cost is 0.15% of the loan amount (min $600). If you do not rate lock then you will be eligible for the fixed rate on the day your loan settles.

Cape Finance are Perth based finance brokers and are able to service clients Australia wide FREE of charge. Note that we are not directly associated with the bank and they make up one of more than forty lenders on our residential loan panel. Please let me know if you would like to discuss alternate lender options.

And for that legal bit.. Your full financial situation would need to be reviewed prior to acceptance of any offer or product. Normal lending criteria and fees and charges apply. Terms and conditions apply and are available upon request.

      You're repeating banking industry public relations stories where it wasn't the banks fault even though they are to blame.
      
      The US banking sector collapsed because they paid Bill Clinton to deregulate the banking sector in 1998. After the industry tool Clinton removed the banking regulation put in place after 1929 to prevent another Great Depression from occurring the industry crashed the economy again in a mere 10 years.
      
      And then suddenly became fans of Government intervention as the Government paid them billions so that they could continue destroying the US economy - in 2016 they paid off industry tool Obama to deregulate the sector again so expect another 1929 style crash in the next 5 to ten years.
      
      Australia operates a much more tightly regulated banking sector where they cannot build houses of cards. Our banking sector is constantly working for deregulation but so far there hasn't been the sheer madness shown by politicians like Clinton and Obama to crash their own economies and pay off the people that crashed it.

        @Splashtash: Many people are over leveraged. If someone needs 90% LVR then what interest do they have buying a house? It just adds to the debt problem which is going to eventually crash like a ton of bricks.
        Australia doesn’t operate in a vacuum, just because we are more tightly regulated (not enough in my opinion if banks are offering 90% or more LVR in a falling market) doesn’t make us immune. Next recession will be global and won’t be pretty.

        @lachhelix: So you would lever up 90% on a house? What if you lost your job and the value of the house plummeted, you would end up owing more money on the property than the value with no way to pay it back. And let’s say many people found themselves in this situation, prices would drive further down as a result. High house prices have driven our economy as people feel richer. When prices go down, even those that can stay afloat will spend less, in turn companies will lay off workers - its a downward spiral of a debt and spending based economy which will eventuate. History will repeat itself and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional - the signs are all there.
        Renting then doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. If you really want to live the “dream” (it’s not that exciting trust me) then at least save some more. 10% deposit on a house is sweet FA
        Edit: even 16%. If you’re saving 80% of your salary a month, you can do much better than $60k on a $350k place
  - lachhelix on 12/04/2019 - 09:24
    
    Interesting feedback from people.
    Perhaps I'm wrong (and I'm happy to be corrected) but take this example scenario:
    
    Relatively low loan. Let's say 350k house
    You have 60k for a deposit (and say another bit saved)
    To avoid LMI you need a 20% deposit of 70k~
    
    With a 60k/16%~ deposit, you're up for $1900-ish in LMI fees which you pay upfront?
    
    Understanding it makes financial sense to wait until you have a complete deposit so you're not paying an additional insurance, if you find the right property what's so bad about going forward?
    - geoffs87 on 24/04/2019 - 10:29
      
      LMI just gets added to the top of the loan, so your loan becomes $291,900 - but i would double check that amount, my first loan (~$500k) needed LMI and was about $15k from memory… no regrets from me on my first purchase with 90% LVR, but i wouldnt do it today!
      
      Its mostly around what if you lose your job, what if you can't meet repayments, what if you have to sell for personal or financial reasons… at the end of the day, a 10% drop in value, less sales/advertising costs will quickly see you in negative equity.
      
      From what I've read, many people today are seeing negative equity because 10%+ drops in value and low LVR. If you had to sell, you would still have a debt to the lender with no property. thats bad.
      
      I today have a property in a favourable part of sydney, i think its dropped a few percent. I'm ok though, because my LVR is something like 68%
      
      Anyway - up to you, i took the risk when i was 23 with 90%, and it paid off. Today, i don't think it would.

The comparison rate is terrible - does this include all the fees, including the professional package fee and/or monthly fee. I realise that comparison rates are based on lower borrowings than the 400k minimum you are offering but we are looking around at present as CBA are sooooo expensive and they say they've sharpened their pencil as much as possible, but your comparison rate for Investor is only 0.05% different to CBAs
- AssociatedCapeFin @ Suncorp on 11/04/2019 - 10:30

  Yes it does factor in the fees and another big impact is the variable revert rate which is not competitive, at which point we would renegotiate with your lender or present alternate options in the market if they don't offer you anything sharp.

For the last 13yrs we've probably had loans fixed for a total of 7yrs. But we have just gotten lucky. I know others who have fixed and then the variable dropped 1% within a year.. Luck of the draw I guess.

What other fees and charges are applicable ? Quite a big gap from 3.49% to a CR 4.25%. Does this mean for a loan of $150,000 x (4.25%-3.49%)=$ 1140 fees per year? Seems quite high.
- AssociatedCapeFin @ Suncorp on 11/04/2019 - 11:03
  
  It factors in the revert variable rate after the fixed rate matures as well, I have queried the CR supplied by the bank as they do not look correct and should have an update soon. Annual package fee is $375 and waived for the first year, this also covers the application and valuation fee.

I thought interest only loans were being abolished?

These are very competitive rates. Currently on a interest only at 4.04 with CUA for remainder of 1 year construction but we will be ticking over to p&I in next few months but that rate appears to be about 5.25 or so which is quite high given I've seen offers from both sun Corp and king with 4 and below. Has something changed lately with these investment rates dropping so much as they seemed to shoot up last year.

    If he was really sure. He'd put money down with a bookie and be rich.
    
    To be honest, I don't think a lot of fixed rates for owner/occupiers will go much below 3.50% from the big banks even after a rate cut. So to get this for 3 years is probably good.
    
    However, the comparison rate is pretty high. My home loan is 3.89% on a CR basis. So even though I'd love to take up that lower headline rate, i'll be out of pocket more.

Looking at the refinance option with Suncorp on the basic variable home loan.

Is it worth it doing it with Suncorp? I'm on 3.99% variable now

sadly I am already locked with a bank for 3 years starting last year at 4.14%… :(
{quietly handing over my ozbargain badge}

does OP/anyone know the penalty fees if I want to switch from the fixed term?

  First step would be to check the break fee from your current bank and then we can work out how long it would take for you to be ahead and if its worth doing, feel free to email [email protected] if you would like to do so

We strongly suggest utilising the 'rate lock' option

How much of that 15 basis points goes to your business OP? I'm taking you just bank the differential on the rate on the day it is drawn (and you are banking that the 15bps is less than the movement over the settlement period?)

That comparison rate looks really wide. 76bps is very expensive. Care to outline what makes up this amount?

Hi mate,

We don't get any of the rate lock fee, it is paid directly to the bank and is optional.

As for the CR, my response above "It factors in the revert variable rate after the fixed rate matures as well, I have queried the CR supplied by the bank as they do not look correct and should have an update soon. Annual package fee is $375 and waived for the first year, this also covers the application and valuation fee." Hoping for an update from the bank shortly.

I already have some home loans including investment loans with Suncorp. Can I get this deal as well?

I wish I was able to refinance! This rate would save me nearly $10k/year and that's disregarding principal payments.

This was posted 5 years 8 months 13 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.

Suncorp Fixed Rate Home Loan 3yrs P&I Owner Occ 3.49% (CR 4.25%), I/O Investment 3.69% (CR 4.5%) + $1,000 Refinance CB @Cape Fin
