    Types of clients suitable on a plus 3.00% rate? or havent reviewed your mortgage in 18-24 months?

    Whenever I see this I wonder why you're advertising this on Ozbargain. Anyone on this site paying 3% plus or that hasn't reviewed their mortgage for 2 years should hand in their Ozbargain badge immediately.

    Also I have 1.94% with no package fee from the St George retention team after I sent through discharge papers for a refinance so you'd be surprised how low the big banks can go if you truly put the squeeze on them.

    • You have done very well! Would you mind pming me your loan size and lvr and when this was. So i have a good idea on what the lenders are offering?

      • ^ This. Your loan balance must be high or lvr low. Just headline interest rates have no meaning.

        • yep they have a really strong retention team.

          • @Adrian Player: Great to know when my 1.84 fixed expires

          • @Adrian Player: they didnt a few years ago when I tried…. they basically said we cant match that an you best leave and take it….. =)

          • +1

            @Adrian Player: They let me walk after I tried to squeeze a bit more out of them. Went from 2.37% down to 1.97% and a $3288 cashback with HSBC.
            To be fair, 9 months earlier they had matched a $4k cashback with Citibank to keep me…

    • +1

      They offered me 1.89%.

      • Did you accept? Or find somewhere better?

        • No. I am going to somewhere else. I am getting the same with offset acc and cashback.

  • Any reduction on packaged loan?

    • +1

      Normally if the basic product goes down so does the pricing requests on the package rates. But they havent notified us yet of this.

  • +1

    A few weeks ago I called up BoM and asked for a better deal.

    Someone from retentions got back to me and without too much effort, my variable rate was dropped by 0.5%.

    The key is to do your homework. Have comparison loans and initiate a discharge. Internal teams are then required to give you a best deal.

    • +1

      initiate a discharge

      This is the key.

      When you send in discharge forms you get access to "discharge pricing" They previously offered me an pitiful extra 0.10% discount when I just angrily called up and pointed out that others had better rate. It took actually sending in the forms to bring them to the table properly.

      • +1

        what do you mean discharge forms and pricing. is this done when we refinance to another lender and they give discharge forms? Sorry I am going to refinance first time

        • I’d like to know this also.

          (I’ve refinanced a couple of times but it’s news to me too.)

        • +1

          Yeah, to get a better rate with your existing lender the best thing to do is initiate (or threaten to initiate) a discharge. Their retention team will be able to offer you a way better deal particularly if you can point to someone like TicToc who has a low (1.89%) rate, no fees and is offering a cash bonus. Just tell them you have to match their offer or you'll leave.

          The main issues are when your LVR is above 80 and you have some kind of LMI guarantee. Not all cheap lenders will offer you these deals so the big banks know your threat to leave actually can't be followed through with. So then they won't offer you a good retention bonus as they know you can't actually leave them.

          • +1

            @stirlo: yep and I've found retention teams are generally super friendly too, great to deal with haha

            • @daemon: Well, they've gotta be if they hope to retain people

    • Exactly

    • +2

      I just got BoM to drop my rate to 1.89 and match cashback against TicToc when I served them my discharge request. It's been the first time I saw the major doing this. Anyone with Westpac or its subsidiaries should try ringing them to get a better rate.

      • Reading this makes me want to call them up again. I'm not happy with 2.04%!

  • HSBC 1.97?

  • +1

    Probably less confusing to just remove "Including 1.84% p.a. discount off our Basic Home Loan Variable Rate"

    The discount is totally irrelevant when the base fee is so inflated that nobody would pay that. May as well say 10% discount off out 12.2% rate…

    I'm aware all the banks do this but it's such a meaningless comparison and equates to price jacking for most customers

    • +1

      Sorry i just copied and pasted from the st george website

      • Yeah totally understand it comes from their side, just find it very misleading. Especially when the discount is close to the final actual rate (meaning they've doubled the price jack effectively)

  • +1

    Not sure I trust this…

    OP appears to be a player…

    • +1

      A Player the original player….

  • Any chance they would match the HSBC rate of 1.97% (or better rates indicated in this thread) while keeping the cashback?

    • +1

      I dont think they will no as a new customer. Unless its very large loan size unde r70% lvr and its already a client who is leaving and they get a retention offer.

  • I called st george today and they mentioned this offer is extended beyond 31/3!

    • Yes that may be the case i put a short expiry as i cant guarantee they dont change their rates after a 3 week period. Other lenders like suncorp and virgin money are already showing signs of variable rates going up.

  • What's the rate for <= 80 lvr and with offset for owner occupied?

    • +1

      No offset on this product and under 80% its the same rate.

  • What's the rate on P&I for investment properties?

  • 2.49% investment p&i up to 80% lvr with access to redraw st george
