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.

Unlimited extra repayments
No ongoing fees

$350 documentation fee
Macquarie’s Basic Home Loan is a straightforward option for borrowers who are looking for a competitive interest rate from a well-established bank.
Interest rates are tiered depending on your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) and owner-occupier borrowers with a deposit of at least 20% (80% LVR) can access a variable interest rate of 6.19% p.a. (6.21% p.a. comparison rate*).
This is well below the current average variable rate in the Mozo database which is 6.75% p.a. (as at 15 October, 2024).
If you aren’t concerned with added features such as an offset account, Macquarie’s Basic Home Loan is a fairly no-fuss choice. We like that it comes with no ongoing fees, and a redraw facility you can withdraw extra payments from at no cost.
The maximum LVR for Macquarie’s owner-occupier home loans is 95%, but if you have a loan-to-value ratio of more than 80% you will need to factor in lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).

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
Macquarie Bank's home loan is excellent—competitive rates, great app functionality. The seamless experience, combined with their efficient service, makes managing your mortgage a breeze. Highly recommend!
Very happy with the process of applying for the loan. Very fast approval with an excellent rate - including all the additional features (eg offset account).
I just recently joined Macquarie Bank and so far so good. The management of funds has been relatively painless compared to other banks. We are considering them for future purchases/investments.
