With a fixed home loan from UBank you can get repayment certainty for 1, 3 or 5 years on loans starting from $100,000 (up to a maximum of $2,000,000). There are no application or ongoing fees but you may be charged a different fixed rate depending on the purpose of your loan (i.e. home ownership vs investment) and whether you choose a principal and interest or interest only payment option. You have the option to make extra repayments during the fixed term of your loan (up to a maximum of $20,000) but you won’t have the flexibility of a redraw facility should you need to free up funds later. There is also a rate lock feature available where you can secure the advertised interest rate up until the settlement of the loan if you’re losing sleep over possible interest rate rises in the future (fees apply).

Wait lines on the phone can be a bit extensive, however, everything during COVID is. The app doesn’t have the feature to manage your home loan through it- it takes you to a website, if this feature was available, I would not have any complaints what’s so ever.

Completely waste of time. We tried to refinance with them and it took them more than a month to conclude that we are not eligible. They could have told us to start with. In terms of documents, it went back and forth for 5 rounds for them to say exactly what they need. The guidance on their website is more like a decoration. Living expense is calculated without clarity. Case manager is very unresponsive and unprofessional and refuses to take calls. The low rate comes with all pain!

I wouldn't encourage anyone to consider refinancing with UBank just because of their lower rate of interest. Had I have known how appalling their customer service was going to be, and how long you have to wait for someone to answer a phone call (average wait time 45 minutes), I would have stayed with my previous lender and happily paid a higher rate of interest. Some of their staff are really great but the majority lack knowledge and are unable to answer questions. The phone app and website are very clunky and not at all user-friendly. The other issue I have with UBank is that their statements are misleading and don't provide all the information you require to have an informed opinion about the state of your finances. They offer a redraw facility as opposed to an offset account which again for some strange reason fluctuates significantly which makes knowing exactly what your balance is very difficult.

Very poor customer service. They simply say no to customers with very limited information and without going in further detail. Trying to avoid the customers in a hurry. I'm still not convinced why they said I'm not eligible at the same time all other banks said I was eligible. Very poor criteria for assessment of customer credit rating.

Lowest home loan interest rate, no frills, underwritten by NAB. No branches, can take a while to set up with all the paperwork but once you do, you will be saving tens of thousands of dollars. Well worth the effort!
