ME Bank Home Loans
Terrible terrible and terrible
I’ve been with ME for 20 years. It has taken 4 months and still waiting. For top up approval I have equity in house it’s a very small top up for home improvements. I would not recommend my worst enemy to use this organisation

Please don’t make things worse. It’s my experience shared on a review site. I’m just sharing my experience. Need to be a lot shaper ME the wheel is squeaky.
Lip service is cheap? It’s sad that organisation’s like ME pass the buck ?
To many silver bullets and shining knights in this organisation that are going to make it happened. Andy 4 mths is a joke

Still stressed by the experience
Had many problems including a change of their system no longer withdrawing loan amount from linked account, talking to representatives who provided false information and these resulted in extra payments and default notices. Also took 13 thousand off the money sitting on top mortgage without notice. Closed accounts without any communication- very stressful.

Hi Rhino, we’ve recently moved some of our older loan products to a newer banking system. I apologise for the stress that this has caused, we aren’t able to look into anything via Product Review. But ...
Read morewe’re definitely wanting to look into this for you, so could you please give ME a call on 13 15 63 or send ME a secure email from your internet banking ‘Messages’ and then ‘Contact ME’ with some more details, we’ll do our best to follow this up for you and try to resolve the issues that have occurred. - Jeremy- 2 reviews

ME provides the opposite of customer service
last year ME Bank stuffed up my redraw facility. Now I have been on hold for an hour so far because they do not answer their phones, and you have to request a loan discharge form over the phone. Forget doing business with this worthless lot.

No Frills No Service Bank
This used to be a great customer-service focused bank - backed and promoted by both Super Funds and Unions; however this bank has lost its way. MeBank is rationalising another of its customer service options and is soon ending its 24-hr Self-Service Telephone banking service. It plans to reduce customer service to mostly online banking-only. It offers no face-to-face customer service and its poorly-maintained and seemingly never upgraded 24-hr Self-Service Telephone banking service, which doesn't follow its own customer service menu, but at l...
Read moreeast offers some customer autonomy and respite from its long customer-service assisted phone banking wait times - will too soon end. The exact closure date is not publicised. Formal complaints to MeBank and the Banking Industry are routinely dismissed. Profit margins - not customer service needs - seem to be at the centre of this bank's service charter. Incompetence and rude arrogance are its true currency and could/should constitute MEBank's promotional tag line - ME((( . Super Funds and Unions would well be advised to find another more competent and ethical banking service to patronise. I certainly will.- Transparency

Hopeless bank as once existing customer. Been unable to update my home loan. It’s been six weeks and 3rd attempt
3 times I have tried to reduce my rate for my homeland. Currently awaiting paperwork to be emailed and so far it’s been six weeks. Very unhelpful and very slow to help you reduce your home loan rate but quick to ring if my credit card is overdue. Very frustrating and hopeless bank once you are an existing customer

Most expensive rates in the country
Just got a letter saying my home loan rate is increasing to 4.3% . Logged into internet banking to call and get pictures of fake chattering teeth . Are your customers a joke to you.

Worst bank and customer service
Did a construction loan with ME Bank, sent application through for stage one payment as well as requested documents for the bank to be told it’s been completed and funds will be in building account in 24 hours to then receive a call a week later saying we can’t pay the builder due to a discrepancy with no explanation or detailed reason why. I have been calling everyday for the past month to be told the same thing over and over again that a team leader will call me, I am get to receive any phone call from the team leader or any explanation of what is going on even though we have settled the loan more then 2 months ago. Do not waste you time with this bank!

Messed around
Had verbal pre-approval from an ME representative to buy a house more than a year ago. Good loyal client with strong savings record. Borrowing well within limits. Permanent, covid-safe job. Recently successfully bid at auction, subject to finance (14 days). ME messed us around for 5 weeks and then finally said no. No real explanation, nothing in writing.
Many others would have lost their deposit at that point. Fortunately a rival bank has been very helpful. Stress was increased by a lack of communication. We had to do all the following up with ...

Disgraceful bank
Mebank ripped me off, charging $400 on top of a high rate. When I stopped them taking my $400 they increased interest to 4.75%. 11 years as a customer. Scum.

Interest rates remains high
Borrowed from ME in 2001, the interest rate at the time was competitive as an owner occupier the interest rate currently (July 2020) is 4.47%. Conversations with ME about the interest rate have been to no avail and the costs involved in refinancing have made the option unviable. I have always made repayments on time and have a spotless credit report. Never again.

Good initial offer BUT difficult and extremely time consuming communications
For an investment property loan ME was absolutely a pain to deal with. At the end of my initial term I wanted to continue with interest only payments. I submitted many documents over after their many requests over several weeks then to be rejected.

Call centre staff rude and incompetent
We have been trying to get rate reduction correspondence sent out over the past 2 months. We need this information for both our accountant and the ATO. Five times we have rung and messaged Me bank to ask why we haven't received mail that was promised to be sent out via express post, only to be told it was never ever coded into the system. but they will message you to say it has been posted numerous times. We have also rung and emailed 4 times asking for redraw monies to be reversed only to be told again it was never ever coded into system......
Read more.Why is the call centre taking calls and never entering or coding it into the system .... but the worse thing of all is l stated l was a loyal customer of nearly 30 years and on a disability pension only to be laughed at and belittled. Absolute contempt for there customers able or disabled. I am sick of getting discriminated against by this Bank and its call centre. They really need to be held accountable for there poor attitude and treatment of all customers whether disabled or able bodied..- Transparency

ME HOME LOANS
Been with ME for a while now, place money into mortgage account to draw down the abominable interest rate they charge.
Logged into my account and found they had taken $3500 without a single word, then I receive a letter in the mail stating that they’ve made changes to their withdrawal facility. They think I’m at risk of withdrawing all my money and I would get into financial stress.
It states the only change is the degree to which I can dip back into my loan for funds. My new redraw amount is now $.
I will be paying off my home loan and moving all my money to another bank. I suggest others do this as well as I can no longer trust ME. As far as I’m concerned this is fraud.

ME Bank took $ 7643 from my Offset Account without warning or my permission
During this coronavirus pandemic where bank customers may need to access their own funds ME Bank have just swept through a large number of their customers' offset accounts and taken significant sums of money with no warning and paid that off against their home loan - apparently sending a letter out that was way too late to warn anyone what they were going to do (I haven't received mine) and no doubt deliberately planned that way. Money that was part of my nest egg in case of a rainy day.
I am now retired and have banked with them for many year...
Read mores before I retired and after this sly and sneaky act would never recommend them to anyone ever again. Warning - do not bank with ME bank unless you like having them raid your offset home loan money whenever they see fit. I will be complaining to the Banking Ombudsman as will many thousands of their customers who are currently complaining on Facebook as well. A Class Action is being discussed but Customers have to complain on social media because you cannot communicate with the Bank itself unless you are prepared to wait on hold for ever or for an email or return phone call that doesn't happen.- Transparency
