RBA rate cut still not passed after over a week
Very disappointed, RBA cut the rate over a week ago and it is still not passed to customers.
This is despite that most lenders have passed the cut in full.
Look at which ones did it before getting a loan with State Custodians.

Advertised rates for new borrowers only, subsidised by existing customers
The advertised rates are great, but over time the rate you actually get drifts upwards while the advertised rate stays low. Nowhere did they mention the low rates offered were merely 'honeymoon' rates.
Two days after the latest RBA rate cut the State Custodians website still only has a vague "we are reviewing, we will let you know of any changes" message. I am not expecting to see much of a rate cut, if any. But I'll bet the advertised rate goes down!

Great loan, it's cheap for a reason though
State custodians provided excellent customer service and a very smooth lending process. Their rate is one of the best you can get, but now I've been with them for some time, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed with the RESIMAC-based loan enquiry system.
I have setup an offset account and had the idea that I'd be able to use it like a regular bank account.
I was wrong. The thing is a dinosaur.
Here's a list of everything that's wrong with it:

Bait, bait and more bait
Despite multiple declarations, including on this site, of not baiting customers - this is exactly what is going on. Only a few months into a loan, and the company yet again has a lower interest number on the front page but NOT FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS for exactly the same product. Buyer beware.

Great if you're not in a hurry
Our approval took a month. Preapproval is quick but after that things so down. I was told they're just really busy. Kept asking for more documents (we were refinancing). They increased the amount of our loan between application and preapproval without asking me. Then when I pointed the increase out I was told I hadn't applied for enough to cover the refinance. Pointed out I had and they eventually agreed. With all that said it's pretty painless (if you're not in a hurry) and the communication is reasonably good. And in the end I'm going to save 4 years and $50k so it's win/win.

OMG - So stressful to go through the formal approval process with State Custodians. I received pre-approval online as well as from the Lending Specialist a couple of days later after submitting the form. 10 days later I am still waiting for the formal approval document. The lending specialst is helpful but not the credit team. They keep coming back for more information every second day rather asking for it at once .... My settlement is in 10 days. God Help Me. I have submitted everything they have asked for and am still waiting....waiting and waiting....helplessly. Wished they could have told me from the start.
Be prepared for the long..........approval process if you decide to go with State Custodians

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
