At present, Nano has one home loan product available to both owner occupier and investor borrowers: the Variable Home Loan. The loan can be used to borrow amounts ranging from as little as $100,000 all the way up to $2,500,000, as long as borrowers have a loan-to-value ratio (LVR) of 75% or under. As you can see from the table below the variable rates on offer are quite competitive, though they vary depending on the type of borrower you are (investor or owner occupier) and the type of repayments you’re looking to make (principal and interest or interest-only). For more details, check out the linked reviews in the table below.

If you’re up to date with the home loan market you’ll have noticed that the variable interest rates on the Nano Variable Home Loan are very sharp - in fact, they’re currently among the lowest in our database for both owner occupiers and investors.
If you’re looking to reduce the amount of interest you’ll pay on your loan then an offset sub account is a feature to look out for. And guess what? Nano’s Variable Home Loan comes with exactly that and it doesn't cost extra. In fact, in addition to stashing funds in it, mortgage holders can also use the Nano offset sub account to make payments via the attached Nano Visa debit card. It also comes with the ability to use digital wallets Apple Pay and Google Pay.
We’ve already mentioned the relatively low rates on offers, but borrowers who are looking to keep their mortgage costs down will also appreciate the fact that Nano's Variable Home Loan doesn't come with any upfront, ongoing or discharge fees. That’s pretty rare!
Like the sound of a faster, less complicated home loan application process? We don’t blame you. Well, Nano has made this a bit of a mission of theirs, meaning applicants can apply online (whether that’s from a desktop or smartphone), without the hassle of paperwork and get their loan approved in a matter of minutes, not weeks.

I have been with Nano almost since their inception. The whole approval process was smooth, fast and easy. For a small provider, the customer service has been exceptional right from the application time. The offset sub account is a brilliant feature. The single (amazing) rate for new borrowers and existing borrowers is also excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nano to new borrowers. If you want the best low rates, a convenient and easy to use mobile app, Apple/Google pay, an offset sub account linked to your mortgage, Instant payments via NPP to any bank account, BPAY etc. then look no further. This is hands down the best offer you can get.

In August 2021, we were approached by the Bank of Melbourne (BOM) to submit a home loan refinancing application. After five weeks of communication with the lending officer, where paperwork and documents were requested and provided, the bank was unable to provide us with an answer. As owners of small company, it was clear that the BOM found it difficult to adequately assess our credit worthiness on the basis that the most recent company tax return had not been filed (as well as other small issues). The fact that we were not the standard PAYG income earners the BOM was accustomed to was simply too much for the bank to handle. This is despite the fact that the refinancing amount was fairly modest, the LVR was 20% and our combined income could service a much much larger loan. By the end of October we still did not receive an answer from the BOM. And then I discovered Nano via a web search. The application process was seamless and we had conditional approval within 20 minutes. No recent tax return? No problem. A Nano representative asked for the most recent four BAS statements (why wasn’t the BOM agile enough to ask for this?) and conditional approval was provided the next day. Very competitive rate (1.99%) with an offset account, a visa debit card and no fees at all. Nano has a model that effectively makes mortgage brokers redundant. My own mortgage broker, who I used to arrange the previous mortgage, couldn’t get close and the ease of the application process is really unbeatable. Be prepared, however, to relinquish your passwords to savings accounts and credit cards, which form the basis of their credit checks and assessment of your ability to service the loan. I was reluctant at first, but was promised that the data is not stored and is not retrievable by third parties or used for nefarious purposes (so they say). To be safe, I did change the passwords after receiving unconditional approval. Overall, the easiest loan application process I have been through.

As we mentioned above, Nano has a digital application process for its home loans. That means you won't need to scramble around for various paper documents and bits of information as Nano uses everything from 'automated property valuations', 'digital credit scores' and 'automatic retrieval of transaction data' to make the process simpler and faster. Of course the other thing to keep in mind is that you will need to have an LVR of at least 75%. That's at least a 25% deposit to put down. You will also need to have a good credit score and meet all Nano's eligibility criteria.
