There are plenty of reasons why Bendigo Bank was named an Exceptional Value Lender in the 2024 Mozo Experts Choice Awards, and the Express Home Loan is a shining example of the bank’s outstanding performance.
A winner of several awards in 2024, such as the Low Cost Home Loan, Offset Home Loan and First Home Buyer Loan awards^, it comes with a very competitive variable rate of 6.09% p.a. (6.22% p.a. comparison rate*) for owner occupiers with a 90% loan-to-value ratio (LVR) and includes a 100% offset account, free of charge.
While it isn’t available for off-the-plan purchases, or for homes currently under construction, it is suited to first home buyers and refinancers living in the nation’s capitals or major regional centres, who want a low cost home loan with interest-saving features.
As mentioned above, it comes with a 100% offset account, but it also lets borrowers make free additional repayments and free redraws too.
As far as fees go, you won’t have to pay an application or settlement fee for the Express Home Loan. But, there is a monthly service fee of $10 and a $350 discharge fee. Valuation fees also work a little differently.
To get your property valued by Bendigo as part of your application, they’ll first use their Automated Valuation Model to estimate its value, which will cost you $134.20. However, if they can’t get a good read on the value using their tech, they may have to perform a full valuation. Full valuations from Bendigo Bank will cost you $220 if your property is worth under $1 million, or $440 if it’s over $1 million.

As I am 63 and my interest only loan was approaching renewal I try every other lending institute in the market. Bendigo Bank was extraordinarily accommodating and welcoming. I had never missed a payment in my life or was late and they looked at that personal approach. I will be strongly recommending Bendigo Bank to anyone.
The service we've recieved from Bendigo Bank is very personalised and personal. We felt they actually care about us as people and weren't treated as just a number. A community bank that we are proud to be a part of.
The staff from Bendigo check in to ensure things are going smoothly and when something is about to change. We were originally drawn to them because of their local presence and because they give back to local communities. Disappointed that we no longer have a branch but then didn't realistically didn't use it that much. It was just very good for community groups and those who don't leave town often.
When my husband sold his business he got a large cash transfer and Bendigo bank couldn’t track the money The man said we should wait 24hours We were like we are not leaving till you find out where in your system it is They found it within the hour Also they have a lot of online banking outages which can be frustrating when you are shopping We are actually going to open another account with another bank and put some money in for when they go down
Have been with Bendigo bank for many years they always make sure we are getting the best products that suits our needs.
Sign up was easy, staff were helpful. A few months after I took out this loan, they actually called me to ask if I'd like a lower interest rate! Was with cba for ten years prior and never received such a call.
staff are great, local branches and access to teller machine is good
Happy with the bank and the service when we first signed up as well as our options given when we recently came off a fixed rate. It was disappointing to see branch and atm leave our local town as that's why we first signed up.
Horrendous. I would rather have teeth pulled. Inept, and obstructive. Initially seemed okay but then the ground shifts, and agreed actions not followed up on. Process not streamlined and doesn't understand the documents sent, asks for other documents inconsistent with what is required because they haven't looked properly at what was sent
Bendigo Bank is for the community and it's community members. The staff are local and show genuine interest in their customers because of the social links within the community. Bendigo Bank offers competitive rates and the knowledge that your involvement in the bank goes bank in to the community is very satisfying.
