      Hi Jenel,

      The offset account is tied to the home loan. It’s all backed by Bendigo Adelaide Bank, so ultimately it’s with them (but everything will have Tiimely as the name)

      Hi Rav,

      We recommend you meet with an experienced financial advisor or property advisor for person advice, as we’re not licenced to give you personal advice.

      One thing to keep in mind when you purchase a home and/or investment property is stamp duty and LMI – these can add thousands or tens of thousands to the cost of buying a property.

      Here’s some more info to help you work out how much you might be expected to pay:

      Hi SJ,

      Your rate depends on the type of loan. If you want a variable rate owner-occupier loan with principal-and-interest repayments you’re probably looking at a rate of 4.79%. Contact the lender for more detailed eligibility criteria.

    Hi there.
    The variable rate advertised at 4.57% is valid for home loans above 80% LVR? If not what would be the rate for a $570k loan on a 85% LVR?
    Thanks

      Hi Bianca,

      This rate is available for borrowers with LVRS up to 90%. So 85% is fine.

      Kind regards,
      Richard
