State custodians does not value loyal customers
On 4 March 2020, the RBA reduced the cash rate by 0.25 and this was duly passed on. But they refused to pass on to variable rate customers the reduction done by RBA of 0.25 on 20/03/20 and 0.15 on 4/11/20. This is a total of 0.4 not passed on to variable interest rate customers. Instead they are offering us to fix our loans like it is a better option in the current situation. We all live in the same world that has financial issues for the moment. Be fair in your dealings and kindly pass on the savings to your variable interest rate customers. That is the whole idea of a variable rate to move with the trend of the RBA.

Such a pleasure to deal with!
We have been going through the process to refinance with State Custodians from CUA. I never thought I'd say this about a financial institution, but wow the customer service and response times are top notch! Maryam has been our go-to representative and has ensured the process was as smooth as possible, even though CUA tried to make it difficult. At this point, couldn't recommend these guys more highly!

Review for Maryam - State Custodians
Maryam Siddique displayed the qualities that you want when getting a new loan or a refinance. Maryam delivered the perfect outcome. Maryam was honest, persistent and very resilient. Maryam was not deterred by any setback, remained calm, focussed and composed and she successfully achieved the perfect result in a very timely manner with the best possible loan terms and conditions. Maryam went over and above the call of duty and she remained accessible at all times to achieve the best outcome.

Best rates and quick response
I was shopping around for best variable rates on the market and state custodians’ rate of 2.65% is very competitive in market without any monthly or yearly fees.
My experience with them was 100% great. I’d definitely say they were thorough and professional with their processes.
My first step started with an online application which gave me an instant pre-approval subject to document verification. I was then contacted by their lending specialist Hannah M taking me through the details of the entire process and what is expected and the timefram...

I had a parallel application with another bank through my mortgage broker who failed to do their duty properly and I had to panic with less than 10 days to go unconditional on my purchase and I was not even on step 1. That is when the lending specialist came to my rescue following up on my application and then when i told my situation, she ensured that my application will get processed on time.1 comment

Great rates but slow and painful process
The valuation was terribly slow and settlement was delayed twice due to slow document processing. Mostly good customer service from the call line but one British woman was very rude.

Worst experience I have ever had
Do not go within a bulls roar of this company.
This company is a wholly owned subsidiary off resimac who are just as bad or worse
My ex and I borrowed $321889 from state custodians in approx 2013. In January 2019 my ex and I separated. I am the primary borrower on the account. We had never missed a payment or made a late payment. indeed at separation there was $60,000 plus in the offset account. Due to legal costs this was run down quite quickly. My wife was able to transfer $20,000 into the offset account, repayment of a loan until we could s...
Read moreort out property settlement. She then said it was a mistaken transaction and asked her bank to reverse the payment. Due to legal costs there was only a couple of hundred dollars left in the account. In Oct 2019 State custodians simply reversed the payment without my knowledge or even a phone call leaving the mortgage $19700+ in arrears. The first I knew off it was when I received a letter from a collection agency stating that your mortgage was $19700+ in arrears and plus hefty fees if the arrears are not cleared with 30 days we will be exercising our power of sale. I rang them to find out what was going on they refused to talk to me, the gave me no information were extremely evasive then refused to even talk to me. I was forced to sell share at a loss to cover the arrears. I made a complaint to A.F.C.A but as a result of their evasions and frankly lies the matter has still not been settled. Trust me DO NOT Borrow a penny from this company their customer service is disgusting. EVEN if a broker recommends them DO NOT borrow from this company, there are better companies with cheaper rates available. Plenty of them. Make absolutely no mistake I can not empress upon you enough how toxic this company is.Ebi

Hi Ebi,
Thank you for your comments and we hope to be able to clear this up for you. ...
Read more Depending on which day each month that your interest is charged, the repayment amount for this month is calculated on a pro-rata basis, considering both the previous interest rate and the new interest rate. The new rate took effect from 26 March, while the interest is charged on the ‘anniversary’ date (for example if your loan settled on the 3rd of January, the interest would be charged on the 3rd of each month). When a full month is charged at the new rate the amount should correspond with your calculation, but we will be happy to review this for you and confirm that the amounts are correct. If you’d like, we can arrange for a customer care representative to get in touch with you and answer this and any other questions you may have. Can you please email your name, best contact number and the email address on your loan to feedback@statecustodians.com.au and we’ll be in touch. We hope to hear from you soon and thank you for the review. Kind regards, The team at State CustodiansDarleneGreater Melbourne (Outer), VIC

Waste of time
After applying online, then being lead through the application process, I was made to wait over 4 weeks without any advice on the progress of my application? After eventually calling numerous times and emailing, I received a return email from my so called "loan application manager" advising me that she just noticed there were two key elements missing from my application, and could I send them through and she will forward my application for appraisal! Ofcourse I immediately responded with my feedback, also letting her know that I won't be persui...

Professional/ prompt service. Thanks.
After having a disappointing (unsuccessful) experience with my local Mortgage Broker I cautiously (I’m a boomer who prefers face to face communication) commenced an online home loan refinance application with State Custodians.
After commencing the online application process I was impressed when I promptly received a phone call (email acknowledgement already received) to discuss my application. Throughout the process I was guided by emails, some after hours & phone calls during working hours. Excellent client relations, thanks Leonardo G.
p.s. the loan / refinance process was prompt & should be completed within the next 10 days.
Happy customer. Thanks all.

Good company to deal with and great rates
I engaged State Custodians to refinance my existing mortgage. The existing interest only mortgage was reaching the end of its 5 year term and was no longer at a competitive rate. I was attracted to State Custodians on the rates offered and reputation. I consider mortgage finance to be a commodity product. In order to offer such good rates and keep their cost low an organisation such as State Custodians will not dazzle you with service and rapid turn around on execution. Pre-approval was quick and, as it turns out, accurate and honoured through provision of subsequent finance.
Progress on the execution was predictable and the staff at State Custodians courteous and helpful.
Very happy with the experience.

Hi John I would urge you to read my last review about this company. They have admitted that they made an error in reversing a payment my ex partner made and put my mortgage in arrears to the tune of $19,700.00 plus Without notifying myself as the primary borrower. The matter has been with A.F.C.A for over 6 months and both State Custodians and A.F.C.A have delayed, evaded etc etc. If you don't have a loan with them Make Absolutely no mistake. STAY WELL CLEAR.. by the way State Custodians is a wholly owned subsidiary of Resimac. You need only look at the reviews people have posted about Resimac to see who you are/will be dealing with. Plus there are better rates available elsewhere. Hope that Helps. Cheers Paul

Hi Jo,
Thanks for your feedback....
Read more We appreciate that you’re disappointed about our recent interest rates decision and understand your concerns. I wanted to clarify the relationship between the RBA cash rate and our interest rates. Our interest rates reflect our funding costs, which are independent of the RBA cash rate. That said, some of the factors that impact the RBA cash rate also impact our interest rates, which is why there is sometimes a correlation between the two. For the last two cash rate reductions, market conditions were such that our funding costs had not changed sufficiently to warrant an interest rate reduction. Although we consider ourselves to be different to other lenders, this was also the case for most home loan lenders in Australia. We are mindful of those who are experiencing financial hardship, and have supported many thousands of customers with payment deferrals to help them through difficult circumstances. If you would like to discuss your loan further with us, you can contact us directly on customercare@homeloans.com.au. Kind regards The team @ State Custodians
