Bankwest Fixed Rate Home Loan Review

Rates and fees information correct as at 25 September 2017.

Review published: 3 October 2014

What's hot:

  • Competitive 4.38% p.a. 3 year fixed rate

  • Optional offset facility to reduce interest

  • Low $295 application fee for a limited time - a saving of $400

What's not:

  • $12 monthly maintenance fee

Mozo snapshot:

With its competitive rates and top features like the offset facility which helps you to reduce your interest, no maximum loan amount and the ability to borrow up to 90% of the property value, the Bankwest Fixed Rate Home Loan is a great home loan choice for investors and owner occupiers alike, including first time buyers. The loan is available from 1 - 5 year fixed terms with Bankwest's lowest rate available for the 2 year fixed term at 4.39% p.a. for owner occupiers and 4.70% for investors.

Key features:

The Bankwest fixed rate home loan is available for loans of $20,000 or more. You can choose the fixed term that suits you from 1 up to 5 years and for a limited time the application fee is only $295 reduced from $695. There is also a $12 monthly maintenance fee.

One of the best features of the Bankwest Fixed Rate Loan is its optional offset facility which allows you to save on interest repayments via the Offset Transaction Account attached to your home loan. With the Fixed Rate Home Loan you can offset up to 40% of the loan amount and also make up to $10,000 in extra repayments per annum.

Good news is that you can time repayments to work with your pay cycle as you can choose between weekly, fortnightly and monthly repayments. Though if you take up the interest only option you’ll need to pay monthly.

Who it's good for:

Anyone who wants the certainty of knowing what their monthly repayments will be for a set period.


Any catches?

Be sure to mark in your calendar the end date of the fixed term as the Fixed Rate Home Loan reverts to the 5.42% variable rate for owner occupiers. Rather than rolling onto the standard revert rate, switch to a new fixed rate term or opt for one of Bankwest’s more competitive variable rate loans at the end of the fixed term.

Prompt to pass on interest rate cuts

I don't dislike the bank but the absence of more physical branches is a pain and inconvenient.

*The Comparison Rate combines the lender's interest rate, fees and charges into a single rate to show the true cost of a home loan. The comparison rate displayed is for a secured loan with monthly principal and interest repayments for $150,000 over 25 years, and applies only to this example. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Full comparison rate schedules are available from lenders. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
