Macquarie Bank

Macquarie Bank is an Australian-based global bank with a complex reputation. On one hand, they are known for forcing the major banks to lower their rates in the late 90s by setting a more competitive rate standard. On the other hand, during the Global Financial Crisis, Macquarie pulled out of the market and left many low-doc borrowers in a difficult position with higher interest rates. Today, the bank has a very conservative lending policy but does offer a nice combination of competitive rates and substantial customer service for those who qualify.

Home Loans Description

Basic Home Loan

Macquarie’s Basic Home Loan offers a low-interest rate and zero application or account management fees. You can opt for a variable or fixed loan, or split your loan to take advantage of both rate types. This loan isn’t full-featured like other products but if you want a straightforward product at an exceptional price, this is a good option for those who qualify and can put down at least a 20% deposit.

Offset Home Loan

You can save a substantial sum by lowering your interest owed with an offset account – Macquarie lets you have up to ten fully transactional accounts with your loan. Combine this with a competitive rate and a Macquarie credit card with no annual fee for the life of your loan and you have a smart home loan for savvy borrowers.

SMSF Property Loan

Get more out of your self-managed super fund by investing in property with a competitive SMSF home loan. Macquarie is able to offer lower than average rates for SMSF loans. You can borrow up to 80% of the property value. While there are expensive fixed fees to start, you won’t have to may any monthly account fees.
