Athena takes on banks with borrower loyalty reward promise
If there’s one thing that really riles Aussie borrowers, it’s when your mortgage lender advertises sharp new rates for new customers but refuses to give loyal customers the same discount.
It's no surprise then that home borrowers are flocking to a new lender who’s busy rewriting the mortgage rules, starting by rewarding home loan loyalty instead of putting new customers first.
Online lender Athena not only offers some of the lowest home loan rates around, their automatic rate-match promise means they give the same rates to both new and existing borrowers. Customers even get a loyalty bonus in the form of a rate discount each year for five years, just for making repayments on time.
What's more, Athena is one of just four lenders in the Mozo comparison database to pass through all of the Reserve Bank’s three most recent rate cuts in full, proving their promise to put customers first is more than just marketing hype.
So if you like the sound of a lender who’s committed to low rates for the life of your loan, read on for our expert rundown of Athena’s value packed home loans to find out if this game changer could be what you’ve been waiting for.
