Great refinance – Thanks Therese for your very professional handling of this refinance. You made a potentially difficult process very efficient. Thanks also for always keeping me in the loop. Show reply
Excellent prompt service given – I would like to thank Therese from I mortgage. With all her dedication and the patience she showed to us. She answered all our questions we had, she made this refinancing process very easy and smooth for us. Therese was extremely professional and nothing was an issue. She kept me up to date on the process, I did not have to call her, she followed… Read more · 1
me up. When I did call she would return my phone calls and emails usually within the same day. I would recommend Therese to future customers.
Thank you Therese and I Mortgage one very happy customer.
Great service – I used iMortgage as my broker for my mortgage a year ago. I found them super helpful. I was quite anxious and impatient about my mortgage so sent quite a few emails to them. They were very patient and helpful with me! I would highly recommend them. Show reply
Okay product. Payments are slow to be processed – Very supportive application process.They lost a change of bank details form. Then found it a month later. Ok for a basic loan I would still use again if i had the chance to choose again. Very basic online user interface. Show reply
Nowadays, every little thing counts – We were looking at refinancing our home loan through an online provider and Imortgage just fits the bill. Lower interest rates and the basics which is what we were looking for. Easy to understand loan information. The process just went smoothly from day one up to the finalization of our loan. Great service from all of the staff and more… Read more · 1
importantly, [name removed]. She guided us through and was always in constant communication with us. What else can I say...
Couldn't have asked for better – Everyone says refinance is a nightmare... I beg to differ! It was because of the excellent service and flexibility which has allowed a 3 year divorce settlement to go through without hassle. Constant communication, always there to lend a helping hand... what more could I ask for... The product is by far more suitable to my needs and has put… Read more · 1
me in a better position for growth.
Therese!!! a big heartfelt Thank you!....couldn't have done it without you
Great service – Great service and support with transferring our mortgage. Great product and arrangements made to support our situation and rental properties. Therese was very helpful and always returned calls, emails, very promptly.
Great service so far – Moved to iMortgage when we required a Construction Loan on top of our principal for planned renovations and our current provider refused (this was also an internet mortgage provider who was backed by one of the big banks). Initially we looked at iMortgage because of the low rates and low cost and decided to go with them after talking through the… Read more
process with Therese who came across as knowledgeable and professional. No regrets so far - Therese was very helpful during the process and the re-financing went smoothly.
Beware! – Great original service, very disappointing to find actual mortgage contract different than unconditional offer. Response 'we are very sorry this mistake has been made and we will review our processes and ensure this won't happen again but as you understand mistakes do happen'. Response to us being out of pocket for mistake.. 'We are sorry we do… Read more
not believe a wrong unconditional offer would make you believe you would be paying less than you should.' Ridiculous response. Shame the customer service was originally excellent. Double check everything with these guys if you opt to go with them.
Horrendous experience – Finance was approved, but the day prior to settlement our buyers lawyer noticed a shortfall of $12k not included in our mortgage (real estate agents fees, council rates & settlement agents costs) had to borrow from our friends and family as imortgage couldn't lend us anymore. Have been trying to resolve this issue since oct 2013. Every possible… Read more
option has been rebuked, have waited nearly 7 months for a refund of our establishment costs! I will never use any product by imortgage or homeloans ever again and I can't wait to change my mortgage provider. Still waiting for a resolution.........
excellent customer relations – Ease of online application and process; helpful, well-advised staff able to advise on the best product to suit our needs; suitability of product; good rate. Show reply
Great customer service! – Being a first home buyer/builder the whole journey before I started was pretty daunting. I called iMortgage after seeing their rates on a comparison website. I spoke to Therese who immediately put my mind at ease. From start to finish the whole process has been very easy to navigate, with a lot of help from Therese! Any questions no matter how… Read more · 1
trivial were always answered promptly and clearly.
People may be a bit skeptical dealing with this stuff online but I couldn't recommend the guys at imortgage more highly - a totally professional and personal service from start to finish. Thanks again Therese for making this whole process as painless as possible - now onto the build....
Lack of Common Sense – After looking at our income, iMortgage said they could loan us about 20k less than we wanted. During this process, we received 50k inheritance so we decided to accept their offer. We were then told that the money we received had to be considered a loan and assumed they had to assume we had to pay 8% interest on the 50k. They said our lending… Read more
capacity would be "considerably less". I tried to clear this up with [name removed] but he either lacked common sense or was lying to us. We got our loan through someone else. Thanks for wasting our time iMortgage!

Not flexible – They do not let you use your own equity as you see fit. They state it's about responsible lending but to me it is too restrictive. Example : You have equity in your loan or have paid your loan down and wish to use the equity. You will require their approval prior to being able to draw down on your own equity despite the fact that they hold… Read more

Fast approval and hassle free settlement – I chose imortgage as their rates were good, there were no ongoing fees and no application fees. After submitting my application online, I had formal approval and a contract to sign in 7 days. Everything was very efficient and the customer service excellent. The online interface to access your account is straight forward to navigate around. Have… Read more · 1
been with them 1 month and so far very happy. Fastest loan process I ever had. Fast, efficient and good customer service
Happy customer – We've got a construction loan with iMortgage and everything goes well so far. From what I can see they've got the lowest rates for the construction loans on the market. On top of that their customer service is great. All emails and calls are answered promptly. Consultant Therese is very good and always ready to help! I'd definitely recommend them.… Read more · 1
Competitive rates and good customer service No offset account. It's not critical though taking into account their competitive rates.
Can't ask for much more – Brokers are unlikely to recommend iMortgage as they cannot get a commission. However if you are after a low cost mortgage then iMortgage is for you. I was refinancing from one of the Big 4 banks which was currently at 5.2%. iMortgage fusion was offering 4.69% with no ongoing fees. The application process was smooth and Therese from iMortgage… Read more · 1
would always respond to emails promptly, typically within the hour. There isn't anything more frustrating than sending an email and having to wait 2 or 3 days for a reply. (Sometimes customer service / slow processing times can be the let down for these low rate lenders, but not with iMortgage)
I was kept up to date with the application process and the valuation was organised promptly
There is no offset account but if you can do without the offset account then you can't really go past iMortgage for it's 4.69%
December 30th 2014 Update:
This is my third mortgage with iMortgage. This time I consulted a mortgage broker who told me to steer clear of imortgage as he had never heard of them and he had a vested interest in getting me into one of his products...but after comparing his best loan offer, imortgage still came out on top. (His rate was higher and required a not insignificant annual fee)
My first two mortgages were refinance but this mortgage was for a purchase.....so for the refinance there was no time pressure/deadlines.
Again, this loan was through Therese who is always very helpful and very quick to respond via email - again, almost like a buddy you text message and get an instant response - nothing worse than sending an email and getting no reply - then wondering if it was read or not.
Since the iMortgage application is done all online, and since I had the previous loans with them, they had all my details on file so I didn't have to send in a further set of certified copies of identification documents - all I had to do was send in an updated assets/liabilities statement. Even though the loan was formally approved in October 2014, being self employed, iMortgage accepted my 2012 and 2013 tax returns which were already on file ( they didn't require my 2014 tax return which I haven't yet done).
One hiccup though, the titles registration fee (in my case - $5,500) comes out of the loan funds provided by iMortgage, and this meant the money available to pay the seller I was purchasing from, was $5500 less, so on settlement day, even though I had paid all the money requested to settle into my solicitor trust account, no one factored this into funds required. Luckily I was able to pay the shortfall direct to the office of state revenue so settlement went ahead.
Imortgage offer online loan access and free redraws, no application fee and no ongoing fees, plus a very competitive variable rate. I've now seen heritage advertise 4.40% variable but you have to pay $20 for each redraw and a $600 application fee, so imortgage are still competitive with no application fee and no redraw fees.
Unfortunately having different imortgage loans means i have multiple log in accounts to access my loans, rather than one log in with all the loans. (With the CBA all your loans are listed are under one log in...but CBA interest rates are much higher)
Other than that, you can't really beat iMortgage very smooth application process, very prompt replies to emails, great rate 4.69% no ongoing fees
Pretty smooth throughout – Bought an investment property & used these guys for the finance. Although iMortgage is an online bank they couldn't do more to help me over the phone with advice etc. It did take a bit longer for the valuer to come out than expected but think that was due to the tenants for access. I would recommend this company as It's nice have some decent… Read more · 1
personal service for a change! I think the money comes from one of the big banks anyway but now getting a 1% discount in the process! Decent service The amount of documents for approval
They fix other people's mistakes! – I came across imortgage on a rate comparison web site as they had one of the lowest rates. I was also very happy with the service, which was what made me go ahead with them. We were purchasing a new property and unfortunately the seller’s solicitors stuffed up, which meant settlement was going to be delayed by weeks, which wasn't going to work for… Read more · 1
us as we had to be out of our previous residence. However, the imortgage people managed to sort it all out and it went ahead without delay! Very impressive, thank you thank you thank you!! Cheap rate and good service
Awesome service! – I was initially apprehensive as I was not aware of imortgage, but their service was brilliant!!! I did some background research and they seem to be reputable. During the signup process they were fantastic. We had a finance deadline to meet for the offer we made on the house we’re buying. The first three banks we spoke to couldn’t meet the… Read more · 1
