Anyone looking to refinance or take their first steps up the property ladder has a smorgasbord of options available to them nowadays, but two lenders are going out of their way to stand out from the pack. Greater Bank is wowing the market with a record breaking 1 year fixed rate of 1.69% (3.49% comparison rate*) while HSBC has making headlines with a new 2 year fixed rate of 1.88% (2.86% comparison rate*) plus generous cashback offer.

Currently the most generous cashback offer in the Mozo database, HSBC is offering $3,288 cashback to refinancers borrowing $250,000 or more. It's available to new borrowers who apply before 30 April 2021, with at least a 20% deposit. And to sweeten the deal, the usual $600 establishment fee is waived for successful applicants.
