With ME’s Flexible Home Loan (Fixed) you can opt for a fixed term from 1 year up to a period 7 years and there is a 1 year interest in advance option for investment loans. The fixed rate is available on loans starting from $40,000. The flexibility in ME’s fixed rate home loan is in its wide selection of features that help you pay your loan off faster and save on interest over the long term. The ME Flexible Home Loan allows you to make up to $30,000 in extra repayments each year without penalty which is a generous limit compared to other mortgage providers but you won’t have the luxury of a redraw facility. If you need to free up funds at a later date, there is the option of a repayment holiday but you’ll need to apply. And you will not be charged any application or ongoing monthly service fees with ME’s fixed rate loan.

I cannot stress to you enough, do not go with this bank. The process was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. To begin, our lender stuffed up basically all of our paperwork after we signed the contract which delayed our settlement. Trying to contact the bank for indiscretions with our payments was a nightmare. We had a fixed rate only to then be told there was a system error and our payments had reverted to variable. This took weeks to rectify and the surplus funds were not credited to our account as they were of the belief the system error was “out of their control”. We had issue after issue and decided to refinance with a better bank with a much better rate. Well, this was absolute chaos. As described in the PDS there were several fees associated with breaking a fixed rate. This was not an issue as we understood our terms and conditions and we set the money aside waiting for settlement. They delayed settlement three times and when settlement was finally due to occur, they attempted to charge us nearly $4000 extra and were charging us three solicitor fees when it took the work of one. When I called to discuss this, the operator was abrupt, rude and condescending. The operator was insisting it was my mistake even though I had the previous break cost paperwork which clearly proved that this was a mistake on their end. After speaking to eight different people (as this is what you have to do to get a correct answer as they all believe they are right and have no idea what is going on), they came to the conclusion that this was another system error and the right fees were adjusted. That is only the half of it. I lodged several complaints and I am yet to receive any form of correspondence from an employee of ME Bank. Unless you want to experience an absolute nightmare, extremely poor attitudes, 50 different stories every time you make contact and be consistently shown that employees are competently incompetent and lack the knowledge, training and skills to be able to provide factual information, DO NOT choose ME Bank.

The customer service has always been good when ringing with an issue. I would like to see interest rates improving for loyal customers.

Don't use this bank, they rip you off at every opportunity. I've been a loyal customer for 20 years and they will not help or show you any respect, plus the fees are outrageous.
