ME Bank Refinance up to $4000 Cashback, Minimum Loan $250,000 - and LVR up to 80%

160

A lot of banks are removing their cashback and only a handful banks are retaining their cashback at this stage. Rates are recently on upward trajectory as RBA is desperately curbing inflation to Rba’s inflation target.

ME Bank offers decent rates and niche policies, ie essential workers overtime, $7500 addback for novated lease, predominant pricing for OO/INV purposes and etc.

ME Bank’s cashback is still available to owner occupiers and investors on all ME home loan products. Cashback is available per security which means you can obtain multiple cashbacks if your application meets the following:

  • Apply from 01/12/2022 and settle within 120 days of the loan application date
  • Switch their existing home loan from another lender
  • Take out a home loan with a minimum size of $250k and LVR between 60.01% and 80% (to receive $2K cashback)
  • Take out a home loan with a minimum size of $250k and LVR of less than 60% (to receive $4K cashback)
  • Not available home loans from ME or from other lenders within the Bank of Queensland (BOQ) Group which includes
    BOQ, BOQ Specialist and Virgin
  • In the case of multiple qualifying applications, only one cash back can be received per separate security property.

    "RBA is desperately curbing inflation to Rba’s inflation target." Yeah right more like "RBA is doing the bare minimum to look like they are curbing inflation"

      "RBA is doing the bare minimum"

      Because most of the inflation is not due to increased spending.

      My wifes already got one.

  • @JamesSimBroker, any of these loan offerings have multiple offsets accounts as a feature?

    • +1

      Great question. We just refi'd with Westpac after coming off fixed with Bankwest and it sucks that WP only allow one offset account. With BW we had all our accounts able to offset. Thinking ill just use a spreadsheet and revolut as a solution.

      • Have 2 offset account with ANZ due to structure of loan from previous bank, and they charge $10 per month per each account.

    • I think Macquarie does

    • Yup, we are dealing with this surprise with Westpac right now. It was very surprising that they only offer a single offset. Seems like a pretty simple feature they should all offer…

      • I get around this techinical limitation by having multiple split variable loans… that way you can probably get an offset for each split portion (ive done this with my NAB loans that have the same silly limitation of one offset per loan acount)

      Just curious - what's the benefit of having multiple offset accounts?

      • +3

        Generally no financial benefit.. its just easier to organise your finances if you like to keep funds in multiple accounts for different purposes eg. Bills, food, savings…

    I moved to ME bank recently from Macquarie.
    Just a note that their internet banking looks like it was developed in the early 2000s - with the website and app both shockingly inferior to what Macquarie has. Especially if you want to use advanced reporting and search functions. Transactions are difficult to classify and you can’t import billers.

    Yes I saved a bit, but you get what you pay for.

      I am with Westpac and you can only have 8 char length for a password without alphanumeric

    What do you mean by the "niche policies, ie essential workers overtime"?

  • The problem with these is that they actually will reject your application, even though you have a good credit history or good pay job.

    Went through a broker, all rejected except one. LOL.

    Can someone explain the "$7500 addback for novated lease". If I have a novated lease with my employer with my car, what does this mean for me if I went with ME bank?

    • +2

      I don’t know for certain, but I imagine that they add it back in for serviceability.

      Novated leases are often poor on paper, as the novated lease includes everything (fuel, rego, insurance) as such it is a bigger payment.

      However for a loan application, they see your novated lease payment as simply the cost of your car and then rego, fuel, insurance is added on top.

      Therefore your serviceability takes a hit.

      My assumption is that if you have a novated lease, there is an add back to recognise this and assist with servicing.

      Could be wrong

      • Ty ! That makes more sense :)
