    Is there any reason why Macquarie Bank not that popular among PChat? It offers 3.59%P&I (advertised 3.69% but negotiable depending on the size of the loan)

    Do you have much experience with Hunter for interest rates over time? How do people find ubank for pricing consistency during fluctuation in the market?

    For the brokers out there who are we finding to be great with after sales service atm but yet still offering market competitive deals?

    U bank is a NAB group business, that is wholesale funded

    Its run by the same Advantedge named company as NAB's white labelled products Choicelend. Fastlend, Plan Lend etc

    Pricing is pretty consistent, they tend not to employ bait and switch as much as some.

    One thing that is that one can not compare Ubank basic loans with a fully featured offset loan .

    Its not a service thing, its a risk management and tax management thing for many.

    For larger loans its hard to go past lenders like AMP, or for smaller lenders like Virgin Money, as long as you have time :)

    I was keeping it vague to encourage more discussion.

    I'm with Westpac, thinking I can do better on the investment
    3.79% PI OO $500k <80%
    4.34% PI INV $900k+ <80%

    How annoying is it when you're logging on to your cheapie lender's web site and its advertising a rate well below what they're charging you!!

    4 loans with CBA totalling ~1 million dollars in debt:
    - PPOR @ 4.32%
    - 3 Investment Properties @ 4.79%

    Interest only on all loans and features include an offset and line of credit.

    Is this competitive?

    3.91% with AMP. INV IO LVR<60%. Would rather not disclose loan amount. Have found AMP to be very accommodating, albeit slow to respond in some cases.

    Pretty standard of their recent rate, but it came down a bit over the past few weeks. Saw a pre-approval of 4.79% come in at 4.62% recently when the loan was lodged.

    id have to say that is not the average response rom our client base for existing loans , or even new loans of late.

    promise the earth with cash out for shares etc, take weeks to hatch new plots of needing statements of advice from a 19 yr old licensed planner, to the "security asset thats currently in one name needs to now be in joint names because you are buying shares in joint names" and on it goes.

    Great product for DR, but even that couldnt be relied on, with the global limit being turned off for a few mths for new loan apps.

    Love AMP, they have some great policies and products, but they do run hot and cold, and have really lacked direction since they were the first "take down" by APRA a few years back.

    You can fix the IPs for much lower at the moment, but they won’t help with IO on OO - they’re trying to discourage it.
