If your home loan is with another lender, you can switch to a St.George home loan: we call this ‘refinancing’. If you already have a home loan with us, and you’d like increase your loan with a ‘top up’, you can find out more here.

'Owner Occupier’ means you live in the property. If you live elsewhere, you’re an Investor.

Here's a summary of our FASTRefi® process:

Step 1 – apply 

• Apply for your home loan as normal.
• Your St.George lender calculates your estimated payout: they'll let you know if you qualify for FASTRefi®. 

Step 2 – sign your loan documents

• Once you’ve returned your signed St.George loan documents and shown evidence of your current balance, relax – your work is done! 

Step 3 – we'll open your St.George loan

• We'll send the funds electronically to your other lender, paying out your old loan – your St.George loan is ready. 
• You may be charged an additional settlement agent fee by your old lender (ANZ, CBA, Citibank, NAB and Westpac tend not to charge this fee).

Step 4 – we'll settle your old loan

• After settlement, we'll complete the recovery of your title and registration.
• Any leftover buffer is refunded to you. Or if there's a shortfall, you'll need to cover it.
