I know this won't appeal to everyone, however I don't offer broker cashbacks. There are brokers on OzB that do offer cashbacks.

I am a St George Priority Broker - which means time to approval is less than halved and my refinance clients have enjoyed 100% approval rate.

Hope you find this useful,

      You might pay the annual package fee (300 - 400) to get offset account just like other major banks do.

        My bad, forgot it's fixed loan so generally no Offset.
        I think only major bank is ANZ offering Offset with Fixed loans, plus some smaller lenders.

        • Store Repfootyboy @ Blue Owl Finance on 08/03/2021 - 09:55

          ANZ will do 1 year fixed with offset.
          Outside that, Adelaide Bank do a great fixed with 100% offset at 2.05%. Annual fees only $180.

        • tunzafun001 on 08/03/2021 - 10:21

          Teachers Mutual Bank, Community First, Easystreet (no annual fees), then Adelaide Bank, ANZ all do fixed loans with 100 % offset.

      Hey syaugi,
      There are no offset against St George fixed loans. You may want to look at 'splitting' your loan into two, one part fixed, one part variable with an offset.
      Hope this helps,

        what are you reckon ?
        can i refinance to you or what ?

        Does st george 3 year fixed loan interest rate is same or It has been changed. Please let me know if there is good option for One part variable and other part is fixed for st george, westpac or any other bank.

        Thanks

    • Obtain Finance on 08/03/2021 - 09:45

      Fixed rates generally don't have offset accounts, aside from a few select lenders. Having said that you can consider splitting part of your loan with a variable rate, linked to an offset account.

  • cyrax83 on 08/03/2021 - 09:44

    Would you advise fixing now or staying on variable?

    • Store Repfootyboy @ Blue Owl Finance on 08/03/2021 - 09:47

      If you're comfortable to pay these rates and lock in for the next 2-3 years, these are market beating offers.
      Think of it as an insurance policy that guarantees no rate changes over that period.
      Hope this helps,

      Hard to predict, although it seems that some of the rates on bond yields seem to be spiking and the RBA term funding facility which underpins most of these fixed rates won't be around forever.

      And nobody forced you to signup 4 years contract. Do you think it's bank's obligation to tell customers any unforseable rate review? But I guess you can try to contact them to see what they can do as a good gesture.

        Is Westpac offering 1.79% for 2-yr fixed rate? If so how do I get that? The website only says 1.89%.

  • edshays on 08/03/2021 - 10:16

    Those currently fixed, call your bank to check your break costs. Might be lower than expected and the break cost might be paid off by the new rate savings.

    Also, Ubank are doing 1.75% for three years.

        the 1.94% 1YR rate AND the cashback applies for existing St George customers ? or just the rate ?
        I currently have a variable offset and looking to split to 1YR fixed and retain a variable offset package at a better rate then current.

        • Stalker on 10/03/2021 - 21:10

          Don't think existing customer are eligible for the cashback mate. I just pulled the trigger on moving part of my existing variable loan balance to fixed for 2 years at 1.89% and there was no mention of cashback, etc. I may have been able to push harder on the rate given that 1.79% is being advertised for new customers, but I'm pretty happy with 1.89%. I also could have taken up an offer for 4 years at 1.94%, but decided against locking in for that long. Even better, my remaining discounted variable rate of 2.69% is now irrelevant for the next 2 years as I have enough offset to cover that balance. :) Good luck!

    What if refinancing and the current amount is less than $250k, can you ‘borrow’ the minimum amount ie:$250k (will have to split allowing extra repayment)
    Extra complication is that I’ve split some of our loan to allow debt recycling and not sure if that part of the loan could be retaining without contaminating it.
    Feel like the cashback is worth looking into the changeover at this stage.
