Be aware that if they don't like your postcode the offer for the 'award winning' loans changes from 80%LVR to 60%!!!! We had to go through the whole application process to find that out. Our postcode was classed regional/rural even though we live in the 3rd largest city in Victoria behind Melbourne and Geelong!!!! Baffling!!!!
I was with BoS for my homeloan for almost 2-3years. - Low introductory rates (at the time) - no on going fees For the first year, they passed on a few rate cuts, not in full…after the 1year mark it all changed. Didn’t pass on any rate cuts to existing customers, customer service dropped significantly. They wouldn’t even return my calls! I finally pulled the plug in Nov’21, after which I had a range of ‘exit fees’ which I wasn’t made aware. Since early November, I’ve been trying to follow up with BoS. I got an email to say my request has been raised and someone will reach out in a few days. After a week, I get an automated response that my case has been “resolved & closed”. I wasn’t contacted by anyone since my first call or even given the opportunity to explain my concern. I again replied to request my case remain open and someone calls me back, 1 week later another “case resolved & closed” email, no action. This has now happened 5 times, same outcome no action or call back. Next step is to formally raise a complaint with the ombudsman. Anyone considering BoS, for any service, I highly recommend you to re-consider!
