Fixed Package Home Loan

For borrowers looking to lock down a competitive rate on a 1-5 year fixed term (and the repayment certainty that comes with it), Regional Australia Bank's Fixed Home Loan (Partnership Advantage) offer may be of interest. This offer is available to both owner occupiers and investors on loans of at least $150,000, and like the variable rates above, borrowers can take out a loan up to 95% of the property's value. Like most fixed rate home loans, there aren't a whole heap of features to write home about, but as this is a package loan (with a $375 yearly service fee) Regional Australia Bank gives customers the opportunity to save money on everything from credit card fees to insurance premiums.

Professional, helpful and efficient service

Very professional, helpful and efficient service since day 1 of our first home loan mortgage enquiry. We never had any major challenges during our application. The team took care of our settlement and home build payment so efficiently. We're very anxious about the rise of the interest rates and they're very approachable and ready to offer competitive rates for us. We're so happy throughout the process of land settlement to the completion of our home build.

A small play with plenty of heart!

It may not be the very cheapest interest rate around, but it's not far off it! These guys are so helpful and can advise you how to get what you're after, without hassle or added expense. Their offset facility is awesome and has great flexibility.

Not what it used to be.

Small bank, but have grown enough to have lost that small bank customer service. Products are a little out of date compared to others. Too close to the end of mortgage to look at moving now.
