Whether you’re an owner occupier or an investor, Westpac has a fixed home loan option that may suit your borrowing needs. The Fixed Options Home Loan is available to owner occupiers on loans starting from $15,000, with the option of borrowing up to 95% of the property’s value for those willing to make principal and interest repayments on 1-5 year fixed terms. Investors, on the other hand, can choose the dedicated Fixed Rate Investment Loan which comes with a minimum loan amount of $10,000 and allows borrowing up to 90% of the property's value. Both loans offer flexible features including an extra repayments facility (up to a maximum of $30,000 during the fixed rate period), free redraws, repayment holidays when you’re ahead of your payments and the option of making either principal and interest or interest-only repayments. There are some costs to consider though, including a monthly service fee.

If you’re want to lock in a rate on a loan of $150,000 or more on a 1-5 year term and you're interested in some additional perks with your mortgage, one of Westpac's fixed package deals may be the option for you. The Fixed Options Home Loan (Premier Advantage Package) is available to owner occupiers while the Fixed Rate Investment Loan (Premier Advantage Package) is available to investors, but both offer features such as extra repayments (capped at $30,000), redraws and repayment holidays. You’ll be charged an annual fee for either package deal, but this cost could be offset by the package’s perks which include interest rate discounts and waived fees on your home loan, fee waivers on select bank accounts and credit cards, and even discounts on your insurance products.

Like Westpac's fixed packages above, the bank also offers a number of variable package options: the Rocket Repay Home Loan (Premier Advantage Package) for owner occupiers and the Rocket Investment Loan (Premier Advantage Package) for investors. Both are available on home loans starting from $150,000 and you’ll get all the same features and perks as with the fixed rate alternative, but with some added flexibility in the form of unlimited free repayments. Borrowers also have a choice of repayment frequency - weekly, fortnightly or monthly - and the option to split the loan between a variable and fixed term. This is a package deal though, so you'll need to balance the loan features and additional perks against the $395 annual fee.

The amount of times we had to verify another signature even though my partner and I signed infront of a bank clerk was quite alot of times. Also the set up on the app is nice and very easy to access, that being said there is still a bit of work to be done to improve of features to keep it modern and current.
