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.
Make extra repayments up to $10,000 a year
Option to split your home loan rate
No ongoing fees
No offset account
$350 documentation fee
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.

Their customer service is good, I always get a swift response and my original loan application was approved within 48 hours. you get an instant alert every time money is deposited in your bank which I find helpful. The online platform can sometimes be a little tricky to access with extra security measures, but this does make you feel like your money is secure. The yearly service fees are quite high.
macquarie has everything you need for your home loan needs covered and great rates and great customer service
Great rates, reviewed when requested first existing customers to remain competitive in the market. Easy to manage and rename offset accounts to allocate salaries for different purposes. Patient and attentive customer service when needed 24/7. Notifications in App when money is deposited/withdrawn and fraud alert notified via sms. Cash withdrawal available from major and available ATM, making accessibility to funds easy.
Macquarie Bank's service is frustratingly inaccessible. Limited to 9-5, they're unreachable when you need help outside these times. Issues don’t adhere to business hours, and neither should they.
Very impressed with Macquarie's consistently great rates and how closely they worked with us.
There is no physical branch, however the app is simple and the bank refunds all atm transaction fees.
Interest rates are highly competitive, particularly when we initially refinanced with their fixed rate option. Customer service during the refinancing process was underwhelming and the process was delayed due to their poor customer service, ultimately meaning we ended up with a higher interest rate, due to a rate rise. Their online banking is fairly easy to use however it is not as extensive as some competitors. Customer service via phone or live chat is generally good however wait times can be long. Macquarie are going cashless which could be problematic for some.
Prompt polite responding to queries No long wait times when calling Good interest rates Ease of use of online and mobile software applications Good security Flexibility I have referred 2 people they came back very positive about the service and how Macquarie looked at products that would best suit them. Several years later and they are both still happy with Macquarie Have not come across any cons as yet
Macquarie have been really great to deal with. Their customer service team is knowledgable, they have flexibility to support your needs and online banking is easy. Rates are competitive
Pros - lack of physical banking options Cons - excellent website - ease of managing transactions online - good customer service - prompt response when issues arise
