The bcu OMG Home loan has a number of great features, such as a low interest rate from 2.59% (2.60% comparison rate*) and a range of flexible features including the ability to free extra repayments to pay off your loan sooner. The loan also comes with two repayment options: interest only and principal and interest. While there are no ongoing fees, there is a $395 discharge fee.
Before jumping into getting a home loan as an owner occupier, you’ll want to decide if you want to make principal and interest or interest only repayments. With this loan, if you decide on principal and interest your rate will be 2.59% (2.60% comparison rate*) and you can borrow up to 90% of the property value. While choosing an interest only home loan will leave you with a 3.04% interest rate (3.05% comparison rate*) and you'll only be able to borrow up to 80% of the property value.
With a big financial commitment like a home loan, being able to have a repayment schedule that works for you is critical for keeping your budget in check. The OMG Home Loan gives you flexible options to make this possible, with the ability to make either weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments.
Getting ahead on your loan by making early repayments is an excellent way to save yourself on interest. And with the bcu OMG Home Loan, you’ll be able to make extra repayments, for free! You’ll even be able to redraw your extra repayments for free too, if you decide you need that money back. However, to do so, you’ll need to make a redraw of at least $1,000 at a time.
Also, if you are interested in having your account be partially a fixed rate and partially a variable rate, then you’ll be able to sign up for a split account.
The bcu OMG Home Loan is a top low rate option for borrowers who want the flexibility of being able to choose their repayments schedule and make extra repayments to pay their loan off quicker.
Despite the lack of ongoing fees, you’ll need to ensure you budget for the $395 discharge fee. Also bear in mind that if your home deposit is less than 20%, you may have to pay for Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

Great bank, the staff are lovely and very helpful. The only drawback is the cards don’t work with Apple Pay. They have recently updated their app, which was dreadful but seems better now.
