When it comes to fixed rate home loans, St.George has a Fixed Home Loan product which is available for lending starting from $10,000 in a number of variations based on borrower type (owner occupier or investor), loan type (principal and interest or interest-only repayments) and the loan-to-value ratio (between 60-95%).
Borrowers can lock in a fixed rate for a 1 - 5 year period and there is an additional rate lock feature which allows you to secure the advertised interest rate for up to 3 months before the settlement date of your loan (fees apply). There is plenty of flexibility in terms of repayment options including the ability to make extra repayments (up to $30,000 without charge), a redraw facility (fees apply) and even a partial offset account. There is a monthly service fee to consider though, as well as a number of one-off fees.

Owner occupiers and investors are given the choice between two variable rate options with St.George: the Basic Home Loan with borrowing from $30,000 and the Standard Variable Home Loan which is available on loans starting from $10,000. Both loans give mortgage holders control over their home loans with flexible features such as extra repayments, redraws (fees may apply) and repayment holidays, but only the Standard Variable Home Loan comes with an offset account attached. On the flip side, Basic Home Loan customers won't be charged an ongoing service fee, though both loans comes with a few upfront fees.

To help you save on interest payments over the term of your loan, St.George’s Standard Variable Home Loan and Variable Home Loan (Advantage Package) come with an offset account. Borrowers opting for a fixed rate will not miss out on this money saving feature either, because the Fixed Home Loan from St.George has a partial offset account.
With St.George’s Family Pledge option, your parents or other family members can use the equity in their own home to provide additional security for a portion of your loan amount. That way your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) will be reduced and you may be able to avoid paying Lender’s Mortgage Insurance.
Whether you choose a fixed, variable or package home loan from St.George, you’ll be able to make extra repayments towards your loan balance whenever you like (free up to $30,000 for fixed home loans).
Variable rate? Fixed rate? Can’t decide? Many of the St.George home loans have a split loan facility which means you won’t have to choose one or the other. Simply split your loan between a fixed and variable rate and take advantage of the benefits of both.

St George are a terrible, incompetent, disgustingly bad bank to deal with. I have 3 home loans with them and after only 10 months I cannot stand the terrible service and constant issues so I'm changing banks. They are nothing short of a nightmare.

Recently refinanced with St George bank. The staff could not have been more helpful or more friendly if they tried. I received help setting up the account and scheduled payments and insurance policies. They made sure afterwards that I was happy with my service. I also had to wait an extra 10 minutes as they were running late for my appointment and I received a voucher to the local coffee shop to go and get a coffee while I waited.

There are reasons I have become a long term customer with St George. We have had a number of home loans (refinancing, moving homes) and always find them to be easy to deal with, and have the personal touch that many big banks are lacking.

The arrogance and contempt of the team at St George is bewildering and incredibly disappointing - the GM makes creative writing look like a breeze when he describes on his profile page what StGeorge stand for, it really is a great example of ambition exceeding actual ability, an example of tainted and inflated views of frontline experiences! Absolute disgrace. The incompetencies and emotional ineptness of staff resulted in a bungled settlement meaning our 38 week pregnant daughter (who cares for rescue animals) was reduced to camping in a tent and continues to do so. Thanks St George you not only have created enormous stress and emotional damage - but you have also put the health of family including our unborn grand child at risk. Trust team at St George sleep well, because that is certainly something we are unable to achieve. Shame.

It’s a shame they have closed the branches but so many banks have as well.
