Variable Package Home Loan Variable Package Home Loan

If you want a competitive interest rate and save on your loan repayments, a home loan package from Bendigo Bank is an option worth considering. Bendigo Bank has two home loan packages on offer: the Package Home Loan which is available for loans ranging between $50,000 and $249,000 and the Package Plus if your loan amount exceeds $250,000. Each package has the option of fixed or variable interest rates. With the variable option, you’ll be able to borrow up to 95% LVR (90% LVR with line of credit option) and access a range of cost cutting features including fee free extra repayments, free redraws and a full mortgage offset facility. The package comes with a discounted interest rate on your home loan and credit card and additional benefits such as full fee rebates on your transaction account (conditions apply) but you will pay a monthly service fee.

No benefits for customer loyalty

Due to the age of my husband we are trapped with this mortgage. They have increased the monthly fee to $20 - up from $10. We had to take out car insurance with them to get a discount rate but still not the cheapest in the market.
