Fixed Rate Home Loans

If you’re looking for a bit of certainty when it comes to your home loan repayments, the Fixed Rate offer from RAMS could be a worthy contender given that it currently comes with some seriously competitive rates across 1-5 year fixed terms. The offer is available on loans starting from $15,000, with owner occupiers able to borrow up to 95% of the property’s value while investors can borrow up to 90% of the value. You’ll have ability to make fee free additional repayments (up to a maximum of $30,000) during your chosen fixed rate period and make use of a redraw facility ($10 fee applies, as does a minimum redraw amount of $1,000)  should you need to free up some funds later on. There is a $20 monthly service fee to consider, as well as a few one-off fees, but you can read more about those in more detail in the linked reviews below.

Line of Credit

The line of credit home loan from RAMS allows borrowers to make use of the equity they've built up in their property. Like most line of credit home loans, you will only be charged interest of the outstanding balance and there are no regular repayments required if you’re under the credit limit.

RAMS home loan features in a glance

Offset icon

Offset account

RAMS gives variable rate customers the option of using an 100% offset account to help them save on interest payments over the life of the loan, while also having the flexibility of easily accessing that money should the need arise. For example, a mortgage holder with a loan of $500,000 and $50,000 stashed away in an offset account would only be charged interest on the remaining $450,000 of their loan.

Repayment Icon

Extra repayments

You can shorten the life of your loan by making extra repayments whenever you like with RAMS’ variable and fixed (up to a maximum of $30,000) loans. An online redraw facility is also available with most loans, which means you'll be able to access any additional repayments in the future if you need to (fees and minimum redraw amounts may apply though). 

Rate icon

Interest only payments

If you need to divert funds away from your loan repayments to other commitments, opting for interest only loan payments could be the option for you. Interest only options are available for owner occupiers and investors on RAMS' variable and fixed rate home loans.

Great face to face, phone service could be better

Have had multiple fantastic face to face experiences in my local branch. Very helpful, friendly and easy to deal with. Kept in touch over the years and even remembered details about me even after almost 2 years. Over the phone experiences could have been better, however.

RAMS DONT HAVE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL!!

Rams would have to have the worst customer service i have ever experienced. Spending hours on hold waiting to talk to someone only to get transferred to someone else and then disconnected... back to the queue. Its like they just hang up and don't care.

Avoid the stress and go with someone else.

Absolutely terrible to deal with. Been with this bank for 6 years and it has been a hassle from the start. They are incompetent in every aspect of their business.

Very Nasty Experience

Leaving RAMS now - after 14 years I see I am just a number. 10 rate increases in the past 12 months. I complained and they said I will get a call from the appropriate person. The call never came. Thats the problem dealing with franchises. They are owned by Westpac. I have 3 accounts with them - in the next week moving everything to Comm Bank - good riddance
