HSBC offers a range of home loans in Australia, starting with the Home Value Loan (Variable) for those looking for a simple option with a compelling interest rate. There’s also the Standard Variable Rate Home Loan which adds an offset account, and the Fixed Rate Home Loan if you want to limit your vulnerability to potential rate rises.

HSBC’s Home Value Loan walked away with a Mozo Experts Choice Award for Low Cost Home Loan in 2024, and that’s all thanks to its highly competitive interest rates across the board.
Those with a deposit of at least 20% – which gives you a loan-to-value ratio (LVR) of 80% – can access a variable rate of 6.09% p.a. That’s substantially lower than the current average variable rate of 6.75% p.a. (as at 15 October, 2024).
HSBC is even more compelling for those with a deposit of 40% or more, as an LVR of 60% or less will get you down to a variable rate of 5.99% p.a. – that could make it a good option for those looking to refinance.
The drawbacks are that there’s no offset account attached to this loan, and there are fees you should be aware of before applying. For instance, you’ll need to pay a $300 variation fee anytime you make changes to your loan, and HSBC will pass on the cost of your property valuation to you.
While it doesn’t come with an offset account, borrowers can benefit by making extra repayments at no cost, with the ability to redraw those additional payments anytime without penalty.

Please check statements very carefully. An error occurred with my homeloan ( wrong MMR applied and then another spontaneous error while they were looking into initial errors) End result was they raised rather than lowered my credit limit (ie added to my loan) on several occasions. I detected errors. Their system did not which is hard to believe. Due to the deplorable customer service (no call backs, waiting on line for 1 to 2hrs with no pick up, no reply to email, wrong advice given on online chat function, delays on their end once official complaint made) its now many months later and despite acknowledging errors occurred my account was still not corrected. I have refinanced away from them. If you have a home loan with them please check statements very carefully and have a low threshold for escalating concerns as their homeloans lack checks and balances to detect quite major errors.
HSBC offered me a really good rate for my home loan as well as a sign up bonus, they have been really good so far although the quality of their website and app really needs to be improved.
Internet banking OK. App is good. As soon as you have to speak to someone, it is horrible.
HSBC have been easy to deal with and helpful in every way possible. Their customer service is friendly and professional. Their products are flexible and they are always interested in how to improve their service. They outrate all the other banks we have ever been with by a country mile!
Refinanced with HSBC with a refinance offer. Was generally an ok refinance process with a few issues along the way but nothing major. The website itself and app are horrendous. Much worse than other banks I've used and no support for basic things like PayID. Customer Service has also been fairly hit and miss. Lots of promises and talk of doing things for me but have to constantly chase them up or just have issues unresolved. Not very happy with them.

Extended on our current home loan. Was the most frustrating time consuming process
I like this bank but the processing times are huge... refinanced my homeloans to geta better rate but the time all the paperwork was done the rate was the same as what ended up with.
The worst loan approval process ever experienced. I am a HSBC customer with an existing home loan and the interest only period was about to expire so I went through the application process for a new loan. That was six months ago and my loan still hasn’t been approved. Each month is a new request for more information, more forms and more support documentation. It’s just ridiculous and no end in sight.
HSBC Australia is a subsidiary of international bank HSBC. It began operating in Australia in 1965, and was awarded a commercial licence in 1986. HSBC now has a small number of branches and offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
HSBC’s home loans allow you to borrow anywhere from $50,000 up to $15 million, subject to approval.
If you’re looking for a HSBC home loan with an offset account, it’s available with the bank’s Standard Variable Rate Home Loan.
If you’re experiencing financial hardship, HSBC can work with you to offer some relief. One option available to you is a home loan repayment holiday, which is when your lender temporarily pauses payments on your mortgage.
A split home loan is when your loan is separated into two portions – one with a fixed interest rate and the other with a variable interest rate.
HSBC does offer split home loans, so speak to your home loan representative if it’s something you’re interested in.
