Slow Service and Outdated Application Process
ME Bank is great for banking however they do not excel with home loans. Lower interest rate than the big 4 but you pay the price with the wait times and outdated application process. We had to send our pre-approval application via mail which significantly delayed the process. After 4 weeks, several emails requesting updates on our progress and false promises that the wait times were ‘getting shorter’ our mobile banker finally looked at our application and requested more documents as the ones we sent were now too old. We ceased our application with ME and went to Macquarie who completed our pre-approval in 3 business days. Look elsewhere!
Great service and rates
My wife and I searched many financial products via our Financial Advisor, No Fuss Home Loans, and came across ME Bank. Although not the lowest rate, they were quite low, accepted us as borrowers even though we are 'older' people, and best of all accepted our loan application with only 5% equity. The only issue was that the Variable rate lock-in was left out, but this was quickly resolved by ME Bank no questions asked. We found the service was great,-- we did it via our Financial Advisor::
Kathy Dundas [www.nofusshomeloans.com.au]
AND, our conveyancer who helped us with property contracts::
Michelle Nassif [tri-stateconveyancing].
With ME Bank on our side, we had a great team. No fuss, no hassle.
THANK YOU ME BANK !!

Incompetent and arrogant. Don't fall for the cool marketing image!
This bank projects a cool and friendly image in its ads, but don't believe the marketing. The reality is a mixture of incompetence and arrogance. The first giveaway was in the lead-up to my home loan settlement, when the bank sent me a package of 4 documents to sign, but with one of the four documents missing. This was a completely standard owner-occupier loan that they probably write thousands of each year... how hard can it be to send 4 simple documents? It was all downhill from there. They managed to link my online savings account to a...
Read morenother ME account (instead of an external account), which meant that I was unable to access my money in the account - had to waste more time of the phone to fix a problem that should not have happened in the first place. I was promised a 0.25% discount on my home loan as a NTEU member, this discount mysteriously disappeared after just a couple of months - never received any explanation or a reason from the bank. Interest rate cuts (2019-2020) were routinely either not passed on at all or only partially passed on. When I decided to refinance, I called ME Bank on the off-chance that they might offer me something better rather than lose me altogether; the customer service person I spoke to was so obnoxiously arrogant that there was no doubt in my mind after that call about going elsewhere. Their "parting gift" to me was to delay my refinance settlement by a month because they lost a document my conveyancer had sent to them early in the process. This one month has cost me several hundred $$ in extra interest. Needless to say, I am glad to have said "Good Bye" to them, and I have no intention of ever dealing with this pathetic excuse for a bank!

Absolutely disappointing!!
Long waits on the phone, online app is very basic and crashes all the time, very long time to process requests. I was expecting good customer service because it's a small bank but overall it's been very disappointing
