Heritage Bank Discount Variable Home Loan Review

Rates and fees information correct as at 24 August 2017.

Review published: 11 June 2015

What's hot:

  • Mozo Experts Choice Winner 2017

  • 3.99% p.a. variable rate (for owner occupier loans)

  • $0 ongoing fees

What's not:

  • Offset account not available

  • $20 redraw fee

Mozo snapshot:

Awarded a 2017 Mozo Experts Choice Award for Best Value Low Cost Home Loan and Best Value First Home Buyer Loan, the Heritage Bank Discount Special Rate Home Loan delivers great value for owner occupiers and investors alike. The loan is available for LVRs up to 90% but to get the rate of 3.99% p.a, you'll need to borrow at least $150,000 for owner occupier purposes. For investment loans, the rate is higher at 4.49%.


Key features:

The Heritage Bank Discount Special Rate Loan doesn't come with an offset account but you can make extra repayments at anytime for free which will help you to reduce the time it takes to pay off your loan and save on interest. The loan also has unlimited redraws so if you need to you can access those funds later down the track. And with no ongoing fees, all of your repayments will go towards paying back your loan not expensive bank fees. 

You don't have to stress about repayment timings, Heritage Bank gives you the option of choosing the repayment frequency that best suits you. Options include weekly, fortnight or monthly repayments.

Who it's good for:

People who want a loan with flexibility and great value. Why pay more in interest than you absolutely need to?

Any catches?

While the loan is available for up to a 90% LVR, just be mindful that for loans over 80% loan-to-value-ratio, you'll be required to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance. This insurance isn't unique to Heritage Bank, it applies to all loans with LVRs more than 80%.

Competitive rates. Basic internet banking

Heritage Bank have very competitive pricing and interest rates. They do lack in terms of their internet banking features. At this stage they do not have online redraw.

My broker set up my loan so I had almost nothing to do with the bank. Any of my subsequent queries and transactions have been very easy. Staff are very helpful and polite. The app on my smartphone makes electronic banking easy. As far as my home loan goes, banking is completely virtual. That's the way I prefer it. No people, no queues, priceless.

*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.
