Best rates advertised. Once hooked, up it goes while still offering new customers the good rate. I moved loan provider. The saying goes. If its too good to be true….
As I write this, the advertised rate for the product I have is 0.1% lower than I am getting (with them passing on 0.2% of rate reduction). I had been paying 3.84% interest rate when their advertised rate had been lower. i am leaving them as my situation means that negotiating with them is not worth it. but beware of suck in and increase rates later tactics!
Quick initial turnaround and competitive rates but will shaft you post settlement
The application process was fine and the rates for new customers are competitive but nothing special. The standout is the quick turnaround on the loan application - 2-week approval and 4-week settlement - which was great. However, 3-4 months post settlement, a new rate was advertised for new customers at 16bps lower because the general marketplace has dropped rates.

BEWARE! Once they have your business they will screw you with higher interest rates within a few months and then give you lies about 'costs of lending' which is completely untrue as RBA is not changing or is actually decreasing rates...it's just a LIE so they can gouge you for more interest. You can ask for as many rate reviews from them as you like (but they limit it to only one every six months, another SCAM) but they will keep lying to you and never change your rate. Yet new customers always get better deals, existing customers get treated l...
Read moreike absolute trash. By raising the interest rate in the first few months they trap you because they know it's too expensive to move lenders again so you are stuck paying more, this is unconscionable conduct and I will be going to the Ombudsman about it, as they offer a honeymoon interest rate to attract business and then force people to pay more. My advice AVOID AT ALL COSTS YOU WILL GET SCREWED AND LIED TO!
