Fixed Rate Home Loans

The fixed rate Basic Home Loan from Macquarie is a fee free option - no service or application fees in sight. Don’t let the name fool you though, the Basic Home Loan is packed with handy features to help you save money on your mortgage like free extra repayments and the ability to make redraws. Just keep in mind that these features do come with conditions - your extra repayments are capped at 5% p.a. and redraws will attract a fee if you do it over the counter. You can also bundle your Basic Home Loan - or any Macquarie home loan for that matter - with a Macquarie Credit Card, and skip paying the annual credit card fee for the life of your loan. This loan is only available for amounts between $150,000 and $750,000, for borrowers with an LVR of less than 80%.

Fixed Package Home Loan

The fixed rate Offset Home Loan Package from Macquarie is similar to the fixed rate Basic Home Loan, in that it’s available for amounts up to $750,000, for borrowers with an LVR lower than 80%. It differs in that you will pay a half-yearly service fee. The tradeoff for this fee is the use of a 100% offset account to keep your home loan costs low. Other money saving features include the ability to make extra repayments up to 5% each year, choose between an interest only or principal and interest loan and make your repayments either fortnightly or monthly to suit your schedule.

Macquarie Basic Home Loan
Overall 6/10
Great rate and free redraw!!

The Macquarie basic home loan has a good rate and allows unlimited and free redraw which is fantastic. It comes with a no fee credit card as well, however, with a limit of only $1000 it is of little use.

Macquarie Offset Home Loan (Package)
Overall 10/10
Great service and comparable rates

We have been with Macquarie for over a year and a half. We have our mortgage with them and combined offset bank accounts. They are very competitive in terms of their interest rate. They have great customer service and good services. We like the fact that we can have up to 7 separate offset accounts which we use to put separate savings aside for. We haven’t had any issues however I know their customer service is great.

Great customer experience and technology platform

Macquarie is an awesome bank with a great digital interface, great products and has their back office streamlined to expedite approvals. The app is feature packed, customer services prompt through all channels, and queries resolved satisfactorily. I use Macquarie for both personal and business banking and they are recommended for both, with added bonus their products are well priced. I would highly recommend them.

Macquarie Home Loan
Overall 9/10
Highly Recommend. Better lender than the big banks

We refinanced to Macquarie through a broker and although they did not give any cash offers for refinance, they had the best rates and the fees were reasonable. In fact, we were sure when we've previously refinanced to other banking institutes before we've been charged various different fees, but with Macquarie there was only one fee and it was straight forward. One thing we enjoy the most is that we can access ANY ATM in Australia to withdraw cash with no fees. The only down side is that they do not offer cardless withdraws like the big 4. Another thing we love is the Macquarie Banking app. The best app from a bank BY FAR. Love how we can use Insight to categorise any transaction, attach the invoice PDF or JPG, add hashtag as well as any text info we need to. Very handy we can categorise things for budgeting, checking spending as well as when doing our tax refund! Have called them once to sort out an "accidental" transfer made to our fixed loan account and did not have to be on hold for long. Overall, very pleased with the resolution provided.
