We dislike fees as much as you do! That’s why we don’t charge any application fees, ongoing account fees, or exit fees.

Government fees may apply. Your current lender may charge an exit fee when refinancing.

Every year we’ll increase the loyalty discount on your variable rate current at the time by 0.01% p.a. (up to a maximum of 0.30% p.a. in year 30) on the anniversary of your settlement date. It’s our way of saying thanks for staying with us.

Please be aware that the variable reference rate is subject to change. The loyalty discount will be applied to your variable rate at the relevant time, and this rate may change over your loan term. This means that the variable rate used to calculate interest on your home loan may increase over the loan term, regardless of the loyalty discount.

When you refinance your home loan, it’s often to get a lower home loan rate and save money in the short and long term. By undoing your home loan with Unloan, not only are you on a low rate home loan, but you’ll receive an annual loyalty discount that increases every year you stay with us, up to 30 years.

A redraw facility lets you access extra repayments you’ve made on your home loan. Maintaining an available redraw balance can help you reduce interest on your home loan. This could come in handy if you need some extra cash down the track.
