Commbank, Westpac, ANZ, NAB. Those are just four banks and it’s far from a comprehensive list. We know it can be overwhelming with so many banks out there all vying for your business – how do you choose the right bank for yourself? It’s such a big decision and there’s a lot of noise out there.
In this blog post, we’ll put the banks up against each other to help you decide which is the right bank for your all-important home loan.
Bank of Queensland
BOQ are currently offering a 1.89% two-year fixed rate. They are also offering $3,000 cashback if you refinance an existing loan and offer the chance to pay off your mortgage faster, with up to $5,000 per year in extra repayments attracting no penalties or fees. The catch is you will need an 80% LVR or better to take advantage of this offer.

Suncorp
Matching the above offer from Bank of Queensland, Suncorp are offering a 1.89% fixed rate for the first two years of the loan. You’ll need no more than an 80% LVR and Suncorp will allow borrowers to make up to $6,000 per year in extra repayments with no penalty or fee for doing so.
Westpac
Looks like we’re starting to see some consistency here. Westpac is currently offering a fixed interest rate of 1.89% over a two-year period. Part of their offer includes $3,000 cashback if you refinance your existing loan. Westpac offers up to $30,00 in extra repayments but conditions apply. Keep in mind, Westpac charges a $395 annual fee on this home loan offer.
