Warning - stay away from AFG
Absolutely no customer service. Easy to get a loan with, but when you want to leave due to their ridiculous interest rates etc they make it difficult. Found out our loan is actually with a 3rd party and NOT AFG.

Cookie Cutter Approach and No Customer Service
Seems great until you actually need customer service or a change. Unlike many others I decided to tell the bank I moved in with my partner and now renting out my home. I should of done what many people do and not disclose the situation change. In times where rates are low, having a paying tenant and a stable full time job should mean a lot to a bank, they hiked up my interest rate by 1% and charged a fee.

AFG have been difficult from the start
We have been with AFG (Retro) for only just over 1 year and they have recently increased the interest rate twice in only three months, despite the reserve bank rate remaining the same.

Read morehey have also not been able to produce proper electronic statements, and even the versions you must pay for (if misplacing your original) are substandard in the information in your history they offer (beyond being a very basic transaction list with a letterhead). Their stated reasoning is that they have not yet properly established their digital presence. I would strongly recommend avoiding AFG and using a different lender based on my experiences.Questions & Answers
Can you please advise when you will communicate your decision on the current rate decrease from the reserve bank?
