    Just came for comments

      Why not offer 4.43% and $5288 cashback so that China gets all the homeloans refinced to? It seems to be a good way to obtain all the data.

      • +2

        They have your data anyway.

      • +1

        ppl are all very precious about your data, just looking at all the comments on instagram and facebook

    • same here

    • +1

      Would have been my exact comment

    • +3

      I wonder how many Ozbargainers railing against BoC have a HSBC 2% cashback account.

    • After today's no rate change, why doesn't anybody here discuss about IMB Bank who are offering 5.49% 2yr fixed, 5.69% variable (Cashback Payment for loans between $250,000 and $500,000 is $2,000, and Cashback Payment for loans $500,000 and over is $4,000. Borrowers are eligible for one Cashback Payment in a 12-month period)

  • +4

    Throw in a Bing Chilling and we have a deal.

  • +1

    Not bad considering cash back elsewhere is pretty low or no

  • +1

    Hmmm, interesting…

  • +2

    I wouldn't be comfortable having anything accessible from a state-owned bank

    • -6

      Like Commbank?

      • +3

        Where have you been for the last twenty years?

    • -2

      Lmao loser mentality.

    • State owned is always better than private and a big reason I use Red energy/Lumo energy as my utility retailer. Governments bail public out when Porter Davis goes down, Governments bail industries out when General Motor goes bankrupt, Governments gives handouts when gas/electricity companies tries to kill you with crazy rates. Now there's gonna be a State Electricity Commission brought back in after so many years of capitalism at work giving us record billing inflation and the utility fat cats record profit.

  • +1

    and a branch visit is required to open it.

    Only 2 branches whole of QLD. Be sure to check if there’s one near you before applying.

    • In the exact same general locations as the only two HSBC branches in all of QLD lmao, good old Sunnybank.

  • How long do I have to keep the loan with them?

    • +4

      Until you get cashback. Then move somewhere else

      • Do brokers have any rule about keeping the loan alive for a certain period?

        • Most would claw back brokerage fee if you don’t keep the loan for at least 6-12 months. Check the fine print when you engage them.

          • @zonra: @Mortgage Broker please confirm

            • +3

              @avitherock: We don't charge clawback fee but we do need to pay the clawback to the bank. Hence we prefer customers who will stay longer term, at least 12 months, and ideally 24 months. For short-term refinancers, we tend to suggest applying directly to the bank, and perhaps we can help after they get tired of refinancing and want to settle down :)

              • @Mortgage Broker: @Mortgage Broker - can you please advise how to apply directly with BOC?

                • @avitherock: Can call or visit the branch. I don’t think they have an online application link.

  • Sometimes the deal is just not worth it.
    BOC is very suspicious.

    Might as well, they already own all our farms and companies..

    • +1

      And minor things …like entire power supply grids .

  • +10

    I wouldn’t trust BOC with the increasing number of defaults on mortgages. I also don’t want to support a communist country and enable more foreign property investors coming in and buying up.

      • +4

        Their economy - day to day - is fairly capitalist, while their strategy is strongly mercanalist. Their government however is purely authoritarian communism.

        • -1

          Imagine calling them capitalist and communist at the same time.

          Geez lmao

          • +1

            @MaxHashrate: Imagine not understanding day to day economics can be different to how a government operates strategically. Big oof.

            • -3

              @incipient: Lmao U are the one calling a govt fairly capitalist and communist at the same time. Not me.

              Perhaps read more books.

              • -1

                @MaxHashrate:

                Their economy - day to day - is fairly capitalist

                government however is purely authoritarian communism

                you're not one with the reading are you?

                Anyway, off topic enough I think haha =P

                • @incipient: Lol that's state capitalism which is what I said.

                  Saying what U said is like me saying U are a fairly uneducated intellectual lmao

      • Communism is never going to work, it's fundamentally flawed and unlikely to succeed, even china knows that, so officially identifies itself as practicing socialism with chinese characteristics.

    • -1

      Because only chinse foreign investors invest in Australia. Lmao
      With this logic, you should become the PM. Perhaps you should bank with Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan and fund more WMD adventures

    • +3

      what's up with banks on increasing number of defaults on mortgages ?

      if banks fail , your mortgage gets sold to another banks and you continue with repayments or refinance away …

      else you get your home for free if nobodys owning your mortgage debt

      • -2

        I’m sure when the war with Taiwan goes down people with BOC will have an excellent time

        • Yeah maybe Australia will sanction / seize / freeze BoC assets , so ppl with BoC gets their home for free.

          • -1

            @dcep: Ha I doubt that will happen.

            • +1

              @Wt133: Yeah! More likely the Chinese army would be sent into Australian suburbs to secure individual properties…

  • With these cashback deals.. do you receive the payment directly or does it simply come off your mortgage?

    • -1

      I guess off mortgage

    • +1

      Direct payment

    • +1

      All I've received have been paid into linked savings account

    • +1

      Direct payment as cash into your bank account, tax free.

      If you're not spending the money immediately, I would recommend parking it into your offset or loan account to reduce interest, and only taking it out when needed.

    • -1

      100%

  • +3

    Not sure why there’s so much hate on the CCR. I’d fully trust them to own my home and in times of need possibly work out a payment plan.Their track record on human rights and compassion speaks for itself.

    • I needed a laugh. Thankyou

      I think many would agree that any type of foreign ownership is no good, no matter the country.

      • That's all the big 4 in Australia… But ownership by other white English speaking countries. So I guess that's ok. Right?

      It's the quiet racist that don't say a word in real life that like to bicker online.

            @TightAl: Did you count them yourself or did you take CCP's word for it?

            Seems I'm arguing with a CCP bot which is pointless. I suggest reading 1984 by George Orwell to undo all the brainwashing.

            • -1

              @dealhunter52: Haha well obviously you counted them, I'll trust you thanks LoL logic.

              Imagine being scared of the chinese bogeyman who hasn't invaded anyone, incited fake wars, doesnt have 500 bases around the world. You better off yourself is thats your fear lmao.

                    @TightAl: The only problem with that argument is that China is continuing the oppression to this day.

      Here is one for you - ongoing market competition with China is the the ONLY way freedom of speech and though will be maintained in the West. The “decoupling” will just lead to more curtailing of freedoms in the name of the fight against the enemy.

      The most democratic period in recent history was 1995-2001 when the West had no enemy to fight.

  • +6

    People negging just because it's China smh.

    I'm sure they show the same diligence to American banks s/

    • +3

      Maybe because American banks don't belong to the US Government, and the US Government don't have social credit system? Just a thought
