Hello OzBargainers,

Hope you're all doing well.

Bank of China has amended their home loan interest rate offers but still ultra competitive, and they're still offering $4288 cashback for applications submitted by the end of September, and waiving the first year annual fee.

With not many home loan cashback deals still going around, they might be a good alternative to consider.

  • $4288 cashback for refinance and $2000 for property purchase, paid within 2 months of settlement.
  • Annual fee waived for the first year.
  • Apply by 30 September 2023 and settle by 31 December 2023.
  • Minimum loan size $250,000.
  • LVR not more than 80%.
  • Repayment direct debit must be from the Bank of China bank account/offset account, and a branch visit is required to open it.
  • Excludes foreign income earners.
  • Excludes customers who received a cashback from Bank of China in the last 12 months.

Some of the popular offers:

Loan Type Variable Rate (LVR <=70%) Variable Rate (LVR 80%) 2-Year Fixed Rate
Owner Occupied (Principal & Interest) 5.58% (CR 5.96%) 5.68% (CR 6.06%) 5.79% (CR 7.83%)

  • Indicative fees: $395 annual fee for variable rate loan ($190 for fixed rate loan if not split with variable) (first year waived under current offer), free valuation for property value <=$1m, legal fee/disbursements at cost, Rate Lock fee $700 for fixed rate (optional)
  • Offset account available with the variable rate loan, at no extra charge

  • ANZ: $4000 refinance cashback & $3000 first home buyer cashback, variable rates from 5.79% (CR 5.79%)
  • Bank of Queensland: $3000 refinance cashback, variable rates from 5.84% (CR 5.99%)

    There’s no way I want a Chinese state owned business to gain access to the most private part of my life, financial wise.

      Lmao because they're going to weaponise your 550k loan and onlyfan subscriptions?

      • +1

        Yep, same hysteria we hear from people who thinks that Tiktok is going to steal their valuable data. Like how valuable do they think their info is? A bullet costs 50 cents, which is probably as much value any country would assign to some randos off the internet. Somebody should do a meme about how people see themselves (insert picture of Bill Gates or Elon Musk), how their mother sees them, and how the internet sees them for example lol.

        • +14

          Tiktok is not stealing their valuable data, it's doing something even more damaging - turning next gens into brainless idiots

          • @djmm: Yupz, a Chinese friend informed me they have Chinese version tiktok app which is very different with International one.

      • Not the loan, the onlyfans subscriptions

    • Lol get some education

      yea rite! keep your account at the big 4 and let them rip you off until you're broke.

      You speak as if you havent already had all your details given out by Latitude, Medibank, Optus etc.

    • They don't care, they just want to make money off you. If you can save $5-10k by going with them, why wouldn't you go with them for 13 months? After that, find the next bank and take the double cash back by getting it from the bank and a cut from your broker. It's a win, win, win. Banks make enough money as it is, why give them more by being lazy?

    • That’s the most triggering word

    Meh if I just didnt refinanced, why not?

    It's not going to be me that's holding the bag…

    It's a good cashback and these are getting rare.

  • Ozbargainers: Bank of China Bad, cos China
    Also Ozbargainers: HSBC Good

    *just and observation, not an endorsement of either brand.

    • +2

      Just so you know, HSBC is a British universal bank and financial services group headquartered in London, England. People take offence with Hong Kong and Shanghai part, but that is just a colonial hangover.

    • HSBC Good

      When I was a young fella, I remember my Father using its "affectionate" term:

      Honkers and Shonkers

  • So we are paying 7.06% with ANZ. Can we refinance with ANZ at 5.79% and get the Cashback offer?

    • Not the cashback… but can contact me about the interest rate, it'll be case by case.

  • Hi @Mortgage Broker

    On https://www.bankofchina.com/au/en/bocinfo/bi5/202307/t202307…, I can see Discount Plus Home Loan 5.68% Offset upto 80% LVR, but there's no mention of interest rate for upto 70% LVR nor cashback offer.

    Is the refinance offer in OP exclusive through you guys?

    Thanks.

    • +1

      Hmm probably not exclusive through us, but best to double check with the banker/broker you're dealing with, in case they don't have that offer :)

  • Does anybody know what there customer service is like? Do they have Australian call centres?

    • Not sure about Aus call centres, they have AUS branches in most of major cities in every states.

  • not keen to support ccp, sent you an email regarding anz tho OP

  • The BOC offer is exactly the same that was offered when I called them up earlier today. What is the benefit if going through you?

    Note that the lower rate (-0.1%) can be had if you have solar installed if you do not meet the 70% LVR requirement.

    • Thanks for your comment, fair concern! Currently we're not running any official broker cashback offer, but may offer it on a case by case basis for a simple application with a large loan amount. Please contact us and we'll discuss :)
      We don't charge a fee for our services, and we can review your circumstances and preferences against our wide panel of lenders. Bank of China tends to suit simpler customers who want a relatively basic loan and not require frequent re-structuring of their loans. If after assessment we work out that Bank of China may not be able to assist, or maybe there's another lender with features which suit you better, we can use the same documents and form etc which you've already sent to us, saving you time and hassle to talk to the next bank and complete a new form again.

  • Hi @Lending Clinic
    Has ANZ changed their rate today? Wasn't able to find 5.79% from their website

    • They did increase their advertised Simplicity Plus net rate (net of discount) today, the reference rate is still the same.
      The 5.79% was for their Standard Variable home loan rate with a non-advertised/negotiated pricing approval, we were getting this rate for a large loan amount, but still yet to see if they're being less generous from today onwards. Please message or call me to get a pricing approval specific for your circumstances.

      • Thanks, I have just emailed you an enquiry.

  • A little transparency with the legal costs would be great. If it's charged at cost, sounds like giving a blank check to the legal service used by the bank. It would be nice to know exactly what the exit cost is but this is impossible given the legal costs is unknown.

    • They use a third party lawyer to manage the settlement, and it depends on what they charge for the specific matter. But usually an estimate of $600 is enough.

  • Comparison rate so high, what is it? My fix term with CBA ends on 24/12, can I apply for this?

    • Comparison rate is based on $150k loan amount, often it's high because there are fees which are expressed as a percentage of $150k. If your loan is bigger than $150k, the effective rate is usually smaller than the comparison rate.

  • It is a good refinance deal with cashback and offset account.
    I called to schedule an appointment and submitted my application to the Bank of China.
    However, both my wife and I are required to visit the branch in person to open the bank account.

  • How did everyone go? Any issues? Has Cash Back been paid yet? How long did it take?
