Borrowers must be owner occupiers and have a minimum 20% deposit, and there is also an application fee of $495.

Maximum loan size is $850,000 and borrowers are restricted to metro locations.

HSBC, Hume Bank, RACQ bank also cut

In what was a fairly subdued week for rate cuts, a few key lenders did manage to cut for new borrowers.

HSBC

HSBC made a wide variety of cuts to its fixed investment home loans, by up to 41 basis points. Some key cuts were:

  • Investment Fixed P&I 2 Years 80%: 36 basis point cut to 2.39% p.a. (3.29% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Investment Fixed P&I 5 Years 80%: 41 basis point cut to 2.79% p.a. (3.21% p.a. comparison rate*)

Hume Bank

In the past week, Hume Bank also focused on cuts to fixed home loans, however these were primarily to owner-occupier home loans. A couple of key cuts were:

  • 2 Year Fixed Intro 70%: 10 basis point cut to 2.19% p.a. (4.04% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Residential Fixed P&I 3 Years: 10 basis point cut to 2.39% p.a. (3.92% p.a. comparison rate*)

RACQ Bank

This morning RACQ Bank cut some home loan rates as 'special offers'. A couple were:

  • Mortgage Saver: 12 basis point cut to 2.75% p.a. (2.77% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Mortgage Breaker: 12 basis point cut to 2.95% p.a. (3.01% p.a. comparison rate*)

These are variable rates for new lending only. The main difference between the two is that the 'Breaker' has a 100% offset account and a $600 establishment fee.

Meanwhile, RACQ Bank also raised a couple of home loans' interest rates by 15 basis points, including:

  • Investment Fixed 5 Years: Up to 2.94% p.a. (4.10% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Residential Fixed 5 Years: Up to 2.74% p.a. (3.75% p.a. comparison rate*)
