20

Hello OzBargainers,

Sick of variable rates keep creeping up, month after month?

Adelaide Bank has a very good fixed rate at the moment, and they also offer 100% offset account for their SmartFix product (unlike other banks which don't allow offset account for fixed rate).

They're also offering free Rate Lock (conditions apply).

Some examples of their fixed rates as of 19/06/2023:
(please note these rates have now gone up, please check the bank website for latest rates)

  • Owner Occupied P&I 1-year: 5.64% (CR 6.57%)
  • Owner Occupied P&I 2-year: 5.44% (CR 6.45%)
  • Owner Occupied P&I 3-year: 5.39% (CR 6.34%)
  • Investment P&I 1-year: 5.84% (CR 6.67%)
  • Investment P&I 2-year: 5.64% (CR 6.56%)
  • Investment P&I 3-year: 5.59% (CR 6.47%)
  • Investment I/O 1-year: 5.74% (CR 6.65%)
  • Investment I/O 2-year: 5.79% (CR 6.59%)
  • Investment I/O 3-year: 5.74% (CR 6.51%)

Indicative Adelaide Bank fees:

  • $299 application fee
  • $199 settlement fee
  • Valuation fee covered up to $300 (enough for majority of properties)
  • $15 monthly fee for SmartFix which has offset account ($0 for SmartSaver without offset account)
  • $325 discharge fee (payable later when you sell or refinance again)

Indicative third party charges:

  • Discharge fee for your current lender (most banks charge $350)
  • $250-$400 land title office charges

No cashback, but who needs one when you have a competitive fixed rate and an offset account to go with it? šŸ˜€

We also work with other banks, some of the popular offers if you're looking for cashback (variable rates after the June rate increase):

  • ANZ: variable rates from 5.80% (CR 5.80%), with $4000 cashback
  • Westpac/St.George/Bank of Melbourne/BankSA: variable rates from 5.72% (CR 6.06%), with $2000-$4000 cashback
  • Bank of China: variable rates from 5.43% (CR 5.81%), with $4288 cashback
  • ME Bank: variable rates from 5.83% (CR 5.85%), with $2000-$4000 cashback per property
  • Heritage Bank: variable rates from 5.69% (CR 5.71%), with $3000-$5000 cashback

      Easily one of the worst comments of all time.

        Thank you.

        There was a lot of planning put into this one.

            @dottjt: He is our clown thats how he contributes. Its fine sometimes laugh is the best medicine during this recession time

          • @dottjt: i dont get the JV hate. makes me laugh

    Does this include the June rate rise?

    • It is fixed.

        • +6

          Yes, and fixed rates also increase with the RBA.

          That's the bank's problem after you take out the loan.

          Many banks increase their rates towards the second half of the month

          That will only affect you if you are on a variable loan.

          Not sure you understand how fixed rates work…

    The gamble you take on these is whether the rates are gonna stay higher than 5.39 in those 3 years.
    If they drop and you're on a higher fixed, then you're screwed in those extra years.

      Looks like the banks are now betting on rate drops in the next 2 years

      • +2

        It's in their forecast rates gonna comes down for the next 2-3 years.

      • -2

        Banks do not "bet" on future interest rates (with the exception of trading rates for their own account), rather they price off the wholesale interest rate markets.

    • Depends. If rates do come down substantially you can pay break fees. I have done this before and the break fees were well worth VS the savings of the lower rate, so potentially a free hit depending on all of the circumstances

  • hahahaha
    It may not have been obvious for some. However, thank you for the laugh.

  • +1

    locking in now and missing out on the lowering of rates from later this year

    • +5

      Not locking and crying when the rate increasing later this year

      • They're gonna keep going up up up and up! Maybe until 2025.

      • +3

        Kinda sounds like legalized gambling

          Life is a gamble…. we die or not from covid also gamble

      Don't be so confident on rates going lower later this year. The economists are never right. Unemployment data going strong with house prices going up and ongoing high inflation. Gareth Aird has been wrong on his rate calls so many times in the last year.

    • +2

      i dont see them coming lower for at least 18 months. maybe a year of stagnation at slightly higher than today. fixing at 5.5 isnt the worst idea IMO

  • Bank of China?… Yeah don't do that

  • How does offset account work on a fixed rate? Generally offset account only works on a variable rate loan.

    • -1

      The interest rate is fixed, not the loan amount.

      • Of course the rate is fixed, how can a loan amount be fixed?

        • -1

          how can a loan amount be fixed?

          When you take out the loan.

        • I suppose some personal fixed loans with fixed repayments where the interest amounts are already factored into the precise repayment schedule with precise end date.

    • It works the exact same way as an offset account on a variable rate loan works.

      Interest is still calculated daily & charged monthly.

  • Iā€™m sorry if I sound ignorant but what does the CR in the brackets stand for?

    • +1

      Comparison rate

      • Thank you, I had the biggest metal blank.

        • I had the biggest metal blank.

          Are you a robot? :P

    • what does the CR in the brackets stand for?

      CashRewards

  • If I borrowed 1 million dollars and have 200k in the offset, the interest rate will be fixed on 800k?

    • That's how fixed rate and offset are suppose to work so yes.

    • Yup you'll only get charged interest on $800k by Adelaide Bank. Most banks don't offer offset account on fixed rate loan. Some offer partial offset account. Adelaide Bank offers 100% offset account.

      • ANZ offer a 100% offset on a 1yr fixed rate loan.

  • +1

    Time to strategically consider fixing the rate for a short period of time.
    I fixed the rate for my home loans with Macquarie about 3 weeks ago before June rate increase for the next 12 months.

    Owner occupied fixed - 5.59% (now variable 6.09% if not fixed)
    Investment fixed - 5.85% (now variable 6.29% if not fixed)

    I hope not but there might be 2-3 rate increases by the end of this year.

  • Depending on amount of loan and chances of number of interest rate hikes I don't think if it's worth switching over to this deal. E.g. On a million dollar loan, 3 years fixed and possible 3 rate hikes on variable rates the savings could be around 5K after all the fees.

  • Where do you get the 5.39 rate for 3yrs Owner Occupied? I'm at the same package but got charged 5.44 at the moment??

  • +1

    I'm locked at 1.89 until Nov 24 šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

    Bank asked why I wanted to do such a thing a year and a half ago. Writing was on the wall

    • +1

      Teach me your ways master!

    • +2

      Lucky you!

  • Not a bad rate. But be mindful of fixed rate that you probably can't pay off a fixed-rate loan quicker if you have extra saving.

    • You can with 100% offset?

      • Most lenders don't support offset account for a fixed-rate loan. Adelaide Bank could be only exception as far as I am aware of.

  • If you have money and are willing to almost payoff your mortgage in next 3-5 years then this offer is great. You utilise 5.39% rate whilst paying off any excess funds into offset.. if interest rates falls.. no harm done as you have paid it off anyway and banked a lower interest.. if they rise then happy days too..

  • Just note that the Adelaide bank offset account:
    1) Is not supported by Google Wallet
    2) Does not use Osko payments

    • Adelaide Bank has the crappiest banking app/website I've ever used - doesn't support pretty much anything and transfers take aaaaages

  • +1

    We originally had our loan with Adelaide Bank before refinancing for a better rate + cashback.

    For what it's worth, the Adelaide Bank app and internet banking experience in general is abismal. Before switching consider if that inconvenience is worth the rate they are offering.

    • Abysmal is an understatement imo
      I legitimately moved because of how rubbish they were (and how long transfers etc took)!

  • I checked Heritage Bank's website and it shows 5.44 not 5.69

    • I have added 0.25% for the June increase effective in a few days.

  • Hi Op, is this rate still valid?

  • @Lending Clinic any loan offerings have multiple offsets as a feature?

    • Yeah quite a few banks offer multiple offset accounts linked to 1 loan. The ones with cashback are St George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA.

      You can also have multiple loan accounts with 1 offset account linked to each loan account. There will be more banks to choose from if you're happy with this setup.
