Mozo snapshot

If you’ve been searching for a low-cost yet flexible home loan, then ME’s Basic Home Loan could be the one for you.

Key features

ME’s Basic Home Loan has a range of options for owner occupiers and investors alike, with both principal and interest and interest-only options. The lowest variable rate is 6.17% (6.19% comparison rate*) for owner occupiers borrowing more than $150,000 and 6.17% p.a. (6.19% p.a. comparison rate*) for investors. However, those rates are only available to borrowers with a loan-to-value ratio (LVR) of 80% or less. 

If your LVR is greater than 80% there are also a number of other options available to you, but these will come with highest interest rates. 

This home loan allows you to make repayments at your own speed with the the flexibility to choose between weekly, fortnightly and even monthly repayments as well as the option to make extra repayments without any extra cost. Additionally, if you do need access to some additional cash while you’re paying off this loan and need to redraw some of those repayments you've already made, you can do so for free using the redraw facility! Just bear in mind that the minimum withdrawal amount is $500.  

Another notable bonus of this loan is the ability to take a break if you’re ahead on your repayments with the repayment holiday feature. Holidays aren’t forever, but they give you the time to regroup, refresh and get back on track.

Additionally, applications on loan amounts of over $400k could receive between $2,000 and $3,000 cashback (depending on loan size).

While ME’s Basic Home Loan has many great features, it doesn’t offer an offset account or the ability to split your loan. Similarly, there are a few additional costs to keep an eye out for, such as the settlement ($250) and discharge fees ($350).

Who is it good for

Any catches

If an offset account feature is something you need in a home loan, then the Basic Home Loan may not be the best option for you.
