Karen
Meet Karen, one of our incredible customers, who bought her home after first renting it for many years.
- As a mother of 4, I wanted both a family home and a retirement investment. My husband and I reviewed our finances and realised we were better off as home owners, not renters. 
- We got the loan through the scheme. I knew the rate was at the higher end but we progressed believing we could potentially refinance into a better deal, which we eventually did through loans.com.au.

April
Meet April, one of our wonderful customers, who decided with her fiancé that home ownership made more sense than renting, particularly in a market where rents are rising even faster than rates.
- I’m a high-school teacher. My fiancé, Richard, is a pharmacist. We’re both from Queensland. Richard moved to Newcastle first and rented. After reviewing our finances, we decided buying an owner-occupier property was our smartest choice. 
- A broker helped us initially, but we weren’t seeing many loans. Things also moved slowly which was a worry given the market was moving fast. Broker delays meant extra costs to us so after further research we took matters into our own hands and started talking directly with more lenders. That’s when we discovered loans.com.au who have really competitive loans.

Peter
Meet Peter, an awesome customer of ours who came to us when it was time to purchase with his partner.
- My partner and I had been together for about three years when we decided the time was right to buy a house together. This decision coincided with the biggest property boom seen in decades so we needed to act fast as the market was rising at a very quick pace. We knew which suburbs we wanted to live in so it was just a matter of getting our finance sorted. 
- We knew online lenders have better interest rates than bricks & mortar banks so we did after researching online lenders with positive customer reviews we rang loans.com.au. The representative we spoke to was very helpful and we applied for finance that same day.

Frequently asked questions
As an online lender, we operate without the overheads of a physical branch network or broker commissions. Our digital processes and innovative technology help us keep costs down. This allows us to pass those savings directly on to you through competitive home and car loan rates.
For an extra 0.10%^ to the loan, you can add a 100% offset sub-account with online, ATM, EFTPOS & Visa debit card access to your money, plus unlimited free redraws. For more information on our home loan with an offset sub-account: https://www.loans.com.au/home-loans/offset-account/
An offset sub-account is linked to your home loan and helps reduce the interest you pay. Instead of earning interest like a regular savings account, the balance in your offset reduces the portion of your loan that accrues interest. This can help you pay off your loan faster and save on interest costs.
Key things to know:
- It's a sub-account of your loan, not a separate deposit account.
- Funds in the offset sub-account are not covered by the government deposit guarantee.
- The offset cannot exceed your home loan balance.
If you have any questions, our friendly team is here to help!
A variable rate mortgage offers much more flexibility in comparison to a fixed rate loan. Variable rate mortgages have a full redraw facility, allowing you to make unlimited additional repayments and withdraw them at any time. You can also opt to add an offset sub-account to your variable loan to maximise on your interest savings. And, if your lender reduces their rates across the board, you will benefit from a rate reduction.
If home loan interest rates change, your variable may or may not change depending on the type of interest rate change and how this affects your lender. Your interest rate can increase or decrease with market fluctuations, which may occur due to a number of different reasons, for example a change in the RBA cash rate, or a change in your lender’s funding costs.
