Basic variable
home loan
Our lowest variable home loan rate, with redraw and no ongoing fees.
A home loan with a lower variable interest rate1, useful for anyone who doesn’t want to pay for features they won’t use.
Pay off your loan sooner and save on interest.
And a $0 lending establishment fee if you borrow more than $150k2 (see fees section).
If you have made any extra repayments, you have access to redraw them.3
You could use the equity in a family member’s home to help you on your home buying journey and maximise the amount you can borrow.
You may be able to pause or reduce your repayments for a set period (keep in mind after the break your repayments may be higher for the rest of your loan term).3
