If you’re particularly budget conscious, the Fixed Home Loan from Suncorp Bank may be a good idea because you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be paying back each month. Eligible customers can borrow amounts from $10,000 and up to 95% of the property’s value if you’re an owner occupier or up to 90% if you’re an investor. There are an extensive range of fixed rates to choose from depending on how long you want to lock in for, including 1, 2, 3 or 5-year terms as well as the choice between interest-only (up to 5 years) or principal and interest repayments. There is a monthly fee to consider, but you may or may not find this worthwhile given that you'll be able to make additional repayments towards the loan (free up to $500 per month) in order to pay it off faster.

From the no frills, low cost Back to Basics loan to the Standard Variable Loan with all the bells and whistles, Suncorp Bank has a variable rate loan to suit the needs of all kinds of owner occupier or investor borrowers. Both variable home loans allow you to repay your loan on your own terms with an extra repayments feature and a redraw facility, plus the choice between a weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayment cycle. The Back to Basics option lets you skip any unnecessary features and a monthly service fee, but if you want access to an offset account and you're happy to pay a monthly service fee you'll want to choose the Standard Variable Loan. Both loans are available on lending of $10,000 or more and principal and interest or interest-only repayment options are available.

Borrowers looking for a package home loan deal will have two options to choose from: the Fixed Home Loan (Home Package Plus) which is available to both owner occupiers and investors or the Fixed Home Loan First Home Buyer (Home Package Plus) which is only open to owner occupiers who have never purchased a property before. Both home loans are available on amounts starting from $150,000, but while the Fixed Home Loan comes with 1, 2, 3 or 5-year fixed rate options, the First Home Buyer package comes with a single 5-year fixed rate. When you choose a home loan package from Suncorp Bank, you’ll be rewarded with a number of special offers and discounts on insurance and credit cards. There is an annual package fee to consider though, but you can find out more about the fees and features of both loans in the linked reviews below.

I am very disappointed with my experience with Suncorp. Had to wait hours to get a response online. Called 4 times a day to follow up with my term deposit with no proper answer for 10 days. No rest no sleep, at the verge of loosing my property and the initial deposit.Still waiting for the outcome. Very frustrated and disappointed.

I have been banking with Suncorp for over 11 years. Nothing is a hassle regardless of who you talk to. The staff is always friendly and attentive to my financial needs. Home loan interest rates are very competitive and have nice added features.

Avoid using this bank for a home loan. The company they use to handle settlements (First Mortgage Services) is completely useless. Our settlement has been delayed for over 2 months which caused us to have to pay about $4000 in land tax. When our conveyancer tried to speak with them to sort it out they are dealing with at least an hour on hold before speaking with anyone.

Worst banking experience of my life, took 5 months for them to finally approve my loan when I had $80000 deposit and already own a property. Then sent out wrong contract, then the second attempt no contract, finally got the contract with a week till settlement. Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse the bank and settlement team didn’t communicate so my settlement was delayed which in turn meant I had breached the 14 day settlement clause which was part of my land purchase contract so suffered penalties. I would never recommend Suncorp to anyone they have made what was supposed to be an exciting time for me horrendous. Good one Suncorp

For a quick and easy application process, it’s a good idea to round up all the docs you may need beforehand. Feel free to use this home loan application checklist as a guide and tick off as you go.
