About Macquarie home loans

Macquarie is one of the largest mortgage lenders in Australia, falling just outside the Big Four banks. Its simple home loan offering includes a Basic Home Loan and an Offset Home Loan, both of which are available with either a variable or fixed interest rate, and as an owner-occupier or investment loan.

Our verdict

Macquarie’s Basic Home Loan is available with a fixed or variable rate, but we’re discussing its fixed rates here.

Macquarie gives you the option to fix your interest rate with terms ranging between one to five years. The rate available to you will depend on your loan-to-value ratio (LVR), with the two-year and three-year fixed rates currently the most competitive.

There are some trade-offs to consider – while we like that extra repayments are available, they’re capped at $10,000 a year, which can be limiting if you want to pay off your home loan faster.

If your additional repayments exceed $10,000 a year, you may be up for break costs.

The Basic Home Loan doesn’t include an offset account, but you can benefit from no ongoing fees.

The ability to split your home loan into a fixed and variable rate can also give you the certainty of a fixed interest rate while still benefitting from any potential RBA rate cuts.
