$3,000 Cashback, $0 Application Fee, $0 Annual Fee, 2.29% Fixed 2 Yr I/O Investor Loan (Rate Expired) @ Great Southern Bank

110

Why my investor clients love this new deal:

  • $3,000 cashback paid within 24 hours of settlement
  • $3,000 CASHBACK PER PROPERTY REFINANCED - normally lenders cap at 1 x rebate
  • 2.29% fixed 2 years interest-only investor rate OR 2.19% P&I (comp 3.88%* see comp notes below) Expired
  • $0 free up-front valuations
  • $0 annual fee, waived for life
  • $0 fees, typical $600 application fee waived
  • $0 free rate lock - important now rates are rising
  • Owner occupied rates at 1.94% if refinancing home loan
  • 4 day turnaround time
  • Simple "Cash-out" up to 80% of property valuation without any further docs (for shares, renos, another investment etc.)

Great Southern Bank are formerly CUA, who have been around for 75+ years. Rates and fees are cheaper as no external shareholders, profits go back into the bank's customers.

*See comparison below as these are based on $150k loans only. I can calculate your actual comparison rate.

Minimum loan $250k.

I know this won't appeal to everyone, however I don't offer broker cashbacks as I prefer quality service over mass volume. There are brokers on OzB that do offer cashbacks.

41 happy OzBargain refinances to date and have enjoyed 100% approval rate.

    Wow thirty thousand cash back :)

      Error in the way the $ figure was typed. Standby. Might be $300,000.

    • Haha yep not bad, just refinance your 10 property portfolio and you'll get $30k. Edited now :)

  • $30,000! Good deal

  • Here to answer any questions on lending policy or process.
    p.s. OzB formatting added an extra '0' to the deal, deal is $3,000……. unless you refinance 10 properties, then $30,000 is correct!

  • What if you are already with GS Bank but want to refinance do you still get cash back ?

    • Hey @UrbionPT,
      Refinance is classified as new-business, i.e. a refinance from another bank to GSB.
      Let me know if you want to review other options

  • LVR?

    • Hey @Dealking,
      Max 80%.

  • Max LVR that would be acceptable without LMI (approved occupation)?

    • Hey @doctorbargain,
      Max 80% LVR.

    Typos in a simple title don't fill me with confidence when it comes to a decision to do business with an entity. Even ' unless you refinance 10 properties, then $30,000 is correct!'. Should I read that as anything that differs from 10 properties yields me 30k. Don't worry OP. Just messing about. Finance can be pretty dull so us talking shit livens it up a little, at least.

      Hey seamonkey,

      It's actually a little kink on the OzB formatting, start a new deal yourself and type in $3,000, it spits out a strange format of $3, 000 which has obviously transpired to $30,000.

      Hopefully your confidence is restored knowing my last 147 home loan application have all been approved :)

      p.s. neg was not me!

    • I swear negs because ppl don't have a sense of humour around here is getting annoying! Thumbs up just because we need counteract ppl who neg just because they can.

      • This upvote I just gave was pretty meta. I mean Facebook. Or whatever. Nevermind. :D

  • any deals for straight forward vanilla purchase, existing dwelling 85% no lmi .. ubank/86400 or alternative?

    • Hey phat-dave,

      Yes, St George/Bank of Melbourne have an amazing offer here for $1 LMI at 85%.
      86400 way too slow at the minute unless you have months up your sleeve.

      • sadly not first owner and double the stgb threshold — have a week to get it done, ubank?

        • +1

          Afraid not. To be frank - at 1 week to go, your priority may be just getting finance sorted, not necessarily the LMI waiver.
          ING and Macquarie could be good here, but even then it's a stretch.
          Cheers,
          Aidan.

  • I used to be with CUA, they were always last to reduce there home loan rates. I called them and threatened to leave and they did nothing, when I sent the paperwork to change banks they called me begging me to stay, throwing all kinds of offers to me - but it was too late. Would not recommend.

    • Hey ianmcleod,
      Fair call. This can be pretty typical, bloody banks hey.
      Aidan.

  • Does this offer include a offset account?

    • Hey Jetstream,
      Can't offset the fixed rate, however you can have a 100% offset against their variable loans, if you'd like to 'split' the loan.
      Cheers,
      Aidan.

  • I was with CUA for 3 years. Agreed they were the last to reduce rates and didn't do anything for existing customers. When I was leaving them, they brought all offers and non-sensical calculations for me to stay which I didn't because I was getting way better offer elsewhere. But I had similar experience with St. George so won't fault CUA only.

    However, during those 3 years, they were amazing in all other areas. Customer service was good. Loan was settled promptly. Turn around time is faster. App is great. No complaints. I will go to them again if I have to.

  • Do they do residential construction loans? I have one in progress, currently financed with CBA.

    • Hey TheFunkySalsa,
      They do construction loans yes. Best to complete the build then look at other options.
      Cheers,
      Aidan.

    I just fixed with BCU at 2.34 I/O for 3 years, their 2 year is 2.14, $5000 cash back for each property and refinance cash back up to 80% with no additional paperwork. You have to deal with them directly as they don’t go through brokers, but it’s definitely a great deal and worth the time. Turn around was about a week.

    • I just had a closer look and it states 0.75% of the loan in cashback, so if you borrow the minimum of $300K, you'll only get $2,250 back, not $5,000…

  • Is cashback eligible only for refinancing?

    • Hey haliloo,
      Also $2,000 for first home purchases!
      Cheers,
      Aidan.

      • Thanks, what about first investment?

        • +1

          None my friend. Still, one hell of an offer.
          Aidan.

  • Not so good reviews on Product Review

    • Hey spiinl,
      I find them the best of all banks on Product review at 3.1. Which bank has a higher review? All Big 4 are below 1.5 stars :)
      Cheers,
      Aidan.

  • Does the $0 annual fee for life apply to the variable with offset?
