Mozo snapshot

If you’re looking for a full-feature home loan with competitive variable rates then you’ve come to the right place. Bank First’s Home Loan (Premier Package) offers a suite of useful features including an offset account, redraw facility and extra repayments, plus variable rates start at a competitive 2.48% p.a. (2.94% p.a. comparison rate*). And borrowers can even make the most of discounts on other Bank First banking products.

Key features

The Home Loan (Premier Package) from Bank First is available to all sorts of borrowers – from first home buyers to refinancers and property investors –with no minimum or maximum loan amount. 

There are also options for borrowers with varying deposits or existing equity, ranging from <80% loan-to-value ratio (i.e. a 20% deposit or more) all the way up to <95% LVR for investors and <98% LVR for borrowers. Just bear in mind, lenders mortgage insurance may be required on loans with higher LVRs.  

As we said above, the Premier Package Home Loan comes with quite competitive variable interest rates for a packaged mortgage offer, which currently start at: 

  • 2.48% p.a. (2.94% p.a. comparison rate*) for owner occupiers making principal and interest repayments (<80% LVR)

  • 2.98% p.a. (2.43% p.a. comparison rate*) for investors making principal and interest repayments (<80% LVR)

There's also a new discounted introductory variable rate for 3 years on offer to borrowers with an LVR under 80%. For owner occupiers it's 2.15% p.a. (2.81% p.a. comparison rate*) and for investors it's 2.51% p.a. (3.26% p.a. comparison rate*)

In terms of features, Premier Package mortgage holders will have a lot of choice at their disposal. There’s an offset account to help borrowers reduce the amount of interest they’re paying, an extra repayments option to pay the loan down faster, and a redraw facility which can be used to dip back into those additional repayments if need be ($500 minimum redraw amount applies). Borrowers who are ahead of their repayments may even be able to take a repayment holiday for a short amount of time. 

Bank First also offers Premier Package customers a number of discounts on other products. These include no annual fee on the Bank First Visa Platinum Credit Card and an establishment fee waiver on the Bank First Personal Loan. 

There are a few fees to weigh up with the Premier Package Home Loan though, including a $390 annual service fee and one-off settlement ($400) and discharge ($395) fees.

Who is it good for

With a range of features, package discounts and some relatively competitive variable rates, the Home Loan (Premier Package) from Bank First could prove to be an offer worth considering for either owner occupiers or investors looking for a packaged home loan.

Any catches

Just remember, the $390 annual service fee applies over the course of the loan, so that cost may be worth taking into account if your loan is likely to run over 25 or 30 years.
