  • Seems pretty good. 5.94 with hsbc < 50% lvr no fees too

  • no deal for me
    6.04% with HSBC 60% - 70% LVR

  • +3

    looks like mebank still has cashback according to their website $3000 + $2000 (comparethemarket) = $5000

    https://www.mebank.com.au/home-loans/refinance/

    • It's mebank included at compare the market?

    • +4

      I was looking at this, their variable rate is 6.17% (vs the 5.98% I have with Unloan). It adds about 1k to the total repayments I have left. Seems worth it for 5000, esp if I refinance in a few years…

      • NAB wouldn't budge from 6.2% recently when I contacted them, might be time to move on. Do mebank or unloan offer offset account?

      • +3

        You also need to keep in mind all application / valuation / discharge / legal fees / government fees etc involved with the change over. Typically $1000-2000 in my experience. Some are transparent, others such as legal fees may not be (e.g. I had a recent refinance where lenders charged ~$400 each for legal). The other thing is these fees are added onto your loan at settlement. so whilst you don't have to worry about them as you don't get a bill as such but they are added on in the background.

        Still almost certainly worth it at $5k cashback but may not be as good as you think.

      • Regardless it’s definitely worth speaking with one of our lending specialists to discuss your situation. Our $2000 Cashback + any direct lenders offers is valid for loans which are approved and settled this year subject to lending criteria. You can also find more info via this link :)

    • +4

      Can someone confirms this ? Can the cash back b stacked? $5k total

      • Yes! Cashback can be “stacked” so depending on the lenders direct Cashback offer if it’s $3000 and you apply and settled before the end of this year, with Compare the Market; you are also eligible for the additional $2000.

        Take a look below or reach out to us directly via our socials and we’ll be sure to put you in touch with one of our lending specialists.

      Wouldn’t this work out better for a loan of $700K or more? The broker is offering 0.3%. Which is $2,100. So total is $100 more. And loan has to be $700K for 3k ME Bank cashback.

  • Is CTM going to handle application and documents?

    • Looks like it. Their employees will process application.

      • Yes our team of lending specialists will handle the application and documents. Our end to end digital home loan journey makes application a breeze. We are available if you have any further questions or we can put you in touch with our team.

  • anyone know if there's any lenders out there that can do 85% LVR on a joint mortgage who's an Aus Citizen & 820 Partner visa?

    Already got knocked back by a few online lenders and 1 big 4 bank

    • +1

      Why would you run around when brokers do this free of cost? Search for a mortgage broker on Ozbargain and go from there.

      • Most brokers don't have access to online lenders like unloan or loans.com.au

        • +5

          True that but these lenders don’t take on anything out of the blue. Which your case is. And if deal is good with a normal bank. Why would you prefer online only lender?

          • -1

            @GuyfromMelbourne:

            Why would you prefer online only lender?

            better rates

            • +1

              @Homr: Assuming that online lenders offer better rates is not right. Heritage/People Choice are offering same as Unloan for variable. They have physical presence. And some brokers here offer broker cashback, which could work out better.

              And I am assuming the first preference is to get a loan and second is better rate.

        • +5

          Most brokers don't have access to online lenders like unloan or loans.com.au

          These lenders are also much more picky. They won't take on customers with a higher risk profile.

          Already got knocked back by a few online lenders and 1 big 4 bank

          This is going to be quite a hurdle to get over the line with, especially if you received multiple rejections in quick succession

          better rates

          You'll need to go for lenders who have a higher rate. Either way, you need to use a broker to get you over the line, at least they will know which lender you are more likely to get you over the line. You can always refinance in a few years time once your partner has PR.

    • Full doc? Your partner will need to have a sh$tload of savings…

      • Full doc?

        Your partner will need to have a sh$tload of savings…

        isn't our combined savings?

    • You will need a broker to find you the suitable lender, lenders don't advertise their lending policies to the public but brokers have access to, having multiple credit enquiries within a short period of time impacts your credit score. Online lenders usually have smaller appetites with risks as mentioned by Lucille, they offer low rates for borrowers who are AUS citizen/PR, PAYG full time, <80% LVR, will not be over the retirement age when the lone term ends, property type and post code are taken into consideration too.

      -I'm a mortgage broker

    • Well, 820 seems to be a temporary visa, no luck for temporary residents. Apply once you get 801 or try doing just under your name completely excluding your partner.

    • +2

      talk to broker, you will not get the best rate possible, but at least you get a loan, refinance once the 801 is approved

    • Westpac and ING Bank should be able to do something like this

  • How do you trigger the email as per:
    CTM will make the Offer to customers via direct email communication.

    • +1

      I don't know, I have found the deal on an ad on Instagram. So I don't know how that it's possible.

      • Fair enough. Just dont want them to deny it based on this

        • I've seen it on social media ads, too. Doesn't appear to be targeted by anything too restrictive

          • +2

            @park: All applications from now until the end of the year which are approved and settled are eligible for the $2000 Cashback via CTM + any applicable offers from the lender directly. Our team is available should you have any questions.

            https://www.comparethemarket.com.au/home-loans/home-loan-hea…

            • @ctmaus: using your home loan search tool it gives 6.59% ING with offset despite direct from ING it's 6.29?

    • +1

      Here is the reply I got from CTM

      To be eligible for the Compare the Market cash back, you need to apply for and settle a loan over $100,000 before the 31st of December 2024. The 'offer by email' is referring to Compare the Market issuing an approval from one of the banks on our panel.

      If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us on 1800 787 434.

      • This is correct. Thank you very much for sharing.

  • Is there a way to profit off this if you don't need the cash such as borrow, collect cashback, pay off?

    • +1

      Do you have a property to borrow against? Won't be worth it unless you can stack cashback with a lenders offer

  • If you hate the new lender and want to refinance again, do you have to pay the $2k back?

    • +3

      What's there not to like? Not like they perform any service. You just make your regular payments.

      • +1

        Depends if you're getting an offset or not. Then your home loan bank becomes your primary bank with all your savings.

        I refinanced to RAMS and while their customer service is great, their technology is decades behind most other lenders - no visa or mastercard debit card for the offset account (eftpos only which can't be used online), no Osko/payid, frequent maintenance on app/website. I'll refinance again a few months.

    • no need, just the chance you struggle to refinance again so soon.

  • Hi all, does anyone know if having money in an offset account impacts this? Do you need to have a certain amount of debt that isn’t offset? I know in some past cash back offers it hasn’t been an issue, but I’ve also heard for some offers you may need a set amount of debt that isn’t offset.

    • +2

      Doesn't impact. I've moved from lender to lender grabbing cashbacks and they are fully aware that I have more money in the offset than the loan balance.

  • +2

    None of the banks offered are giving substantial cashback for a loan under 400K. Actually almost all of these banks right now do not offer any cashback at all.

    • ANZ's website has this - "$2,000 cashback when you switch an eligible loan of $250k+ and 80% or less LVR"

      Trying to see if valid through compare the market though

      • Sorry if it's a stupid question… but can we borrow $250k to get the deal, if we wanted the cashback… then just pay it down again.

        ie: I have ~$200k mortgage, and can redraw $50k extra if I needed to achieve that.

    • Thanks. That's my situation

  • When refinancing, does the new bank require you to resubmit all financials once again?

    • +3

      Yes, 100%

    • +4

      Well yes, of course. They won't be handing out massive loans to the unemployed, incarcerated and full of arrears. They need to see you have the capacity to service a loan. It's all part of responsible lending.

      Even if you are wanting to refinance with your existing home lender, they will ask you to resubmit these docs.

    • thanks for the response ~

  • -2

    So the $2000 is on top of the lender cash back?

    • Yes! That’s right.

  • Anyone used them?
    Are they like mortgage brokers where you give them info and they find the best option?

    • -1

      Our customer first end-to-end digital journey provides you with the ability to compare offers based on your situation (we won’t show offers you may not be eligible for). We’d recommend comparing first then speaking to one of our experts if you need assistance during the application process.

      https://www.comparethemarket.com.au/home-loans/home-loan-hea…

    • -2

      Speak to us! We can certainly confirm what offers are available now via the lenders and banks directly. But we’d recommend to be quick as the $2000 Cashback is only valid until the end of 2024.

      https://www.comparethemarket.com.au/home-loans/home-loan-hea…

  • Has anyone done this and got the double cash back, makes sense if they are offering lenders with great rates

  • Has anyone applied since this post has been up? Can they let us all know how you have travelled with it thus far. Thanks.

      Would you like to speak to one of our specialists? We’re available Mon - Fri 830 - 5pm Brisbane time

      i feel like i've been strung along for several weeks without progress…

      • +1

        Yeah, same. They are super slow, and you have to follow up and call them to get response. I think it's a waste of time

  • do you need to stay for 2 years?

  • Reckon the HSBC is the best option with CTM - going through the process now and refinancing from St George @6.19

    Saving .20% and cashback on 550k

    • How's the process going? Others have reported basically no movement from CTM

      • Stayed where I am for the moment, going to submit a DA and say that I am going to leave them, hopefully leverage them to offer a cash incentive to stay m, wait until funds are paid and then go with CTM ( offer valid for a while )

  • +1

    @ctmaus how soon after settlement will the CTM cashback be paid, and are you tied in to any contracts or clawback clauses (ie need to remain with lender for any period of time)?

    • Within 30 days of settlement, your funds will be deposited directly to your nominated account.

  • +4

    Submitted application on 26/05/24, as of today no progress at all. I have been contacted by their rep asking a couple of questions about the home loan application, that was almost 3 weeks ago. Sorry but thats a waste of time.

    • Good to know thanks - was going to stack the cashback, but maybe not after these recent comments.

      Loans.com.au have 4k cashback, I might investigate that.

      • Do you have a link to this offer?

        • +1

          Sorry, was IMB. But loans $1M plus.

  • +3

    Such a waste of time. The rep has been unreachable for 2 weeks. I tried email, call, never got the response

    • +1

      I'm getting the same treatment, thought it was just me. Request they delete all your details and go with someone else.

      • +1

        We all should give them a "nice" review on productreview

        • +2

          If they reach out asking for details to investigate your issue tell them to stick it. Typical sales strategy.

      • Hi Sally, can you provide some sort of confirmation CTM will be able to action this loan process quickly? I don't know why anyone would bother considering the delays spoken about in this thread.

        • Hi
          We certainly can. If you're yet to speak to one of our lending specialists you're welcome to call us directly or I can organise a call back.

    Haven't heard anything back from them for a month as well, useless mob.

      Thanks chrischeese and all for the reports. I have a fairly high appetite for this sort of admin but this is feeling like a pass.

    • +1

      Man ,same here
      They are useless

  • +1

    100percent agree with all negative comments,it is pain in the ass,the so called homeloan specialist guy never returned any call or EMAILS AND MESSAGES, submitted application 3 weeks ago ,no any progress.Contact their on line support,they keep saying SOMEONE gonna contact u soon ,but never happens.Be careful with these people,they either do not have capacity to deal with all home loan application or they are picking and choosing the customers from all applications.

    • -2

      Hi
      If you could kindly send your contact details and name to [email protected] I can personally seek to understand what has happened here.

  • Has anyone managed to get a homeloan processed via CTM in the end? What's the estimated turnaround?

    • +1

      I must be the only one who had a good experience with them. I had a very efficient broker over there who provided must be regular updates throughout the process. Also received the $2000 cashback.

      Perhaps they pick and choose the applications they want to deal with.

      I only had to call them once and that was right at the beginning of the process.

  • +2

    Is there any other success stories out there? I have been watching from the sidelines hoping for a little more confidence before getting involved.

    • Same, tossing up between extensive admin for 2k or just leaving it

  • +2

    Mate trust me, there people are extremely arrogant as these homeloan brokers have zero incentives to work harder to get the loan applications approved ASAP BECAUSE they get fixed salary which clearly states on the COMPARE market website,so why bothering to get more loan processed?MORE JOBS AND SAME PAY,OR LESS JOBS AND SAME PAY?u know the drills. I submitted my application on June still nothing,and I have good incomes and low debts , VERY easy to get banks approved.THE 2000 dollar CASHBACK is just carrot 🥕 to attract donkeys.

  • Thanks mate, point taken.

  • I had a great experience too … the broker kept me up to date, havent received the $2k yet as the process is in the last phase and refinance is not yet completed.

    • Ok champ
      Would u kindly share relevant infos?
      what is your loan to value ratio And is your income good?
      When did u apply?And what stage u are at the moment?
      is your loan broker named Alex?
      u have to keep contacting your broker or he/she automatically give u updates on regular base ,let say weekly?And if u do need to keep contacting ,is he /she always reachable?
      THESE are critical infos for deciding the right brokers ,not the so called 2000 cashback.
      h
      Hope u are not associated with them and providing untrue infos as majority of us here VOTE NO .
