Fixed Package Home Loan

Looking for the ultimate package home loan? The Ultimate Home Loan package from Greater is available with its fixed loans starting from $40,000. Greater’s package delivers on all the home loan essentials including an extra repayment facility, although fees apply for this feature on fixed rate loans, and a 100% offset account which can reduce your interest payments over the term of your loan. Plus you’ll be able to enjoy some additional benefits such as a lower home loan interest rate and waived fees on your transaction account and credit card. You may even be eligible for discounts on your insurance (i.e. Building, Contents, Landlords or Motor Vehicle). If you take advantage of these money saving features and benefits, they should offset the package’s annual fee.

Great customer service

Greater bank has my interest in mind. Recently discussed redrawing against my mortgage and they actually suggested I could get a better rate. Have never had a bank do this before.
