Major banks

Other major banks account for close to 20% of home loans in Australia. Some are also owned by the big 4 banks. They tend to have a stricter lending policies compare to the big 4 banks, and some lenders are very conservative with their assessment process, hence they are able to offer slighly lower interest rates.

Complete Home Loan

Online only lenders

Digital home loans are offered by banks and lenders that do not have branch access or employ staff to meet with customers in person. The trade-off is that you get cheaper interest rates and pay lower ongoing fees, but you will also face stricter lending policies. To get approved for a digital home loan, you generally need to be a “vanilla” customer with a PAYG job and buying a standard residential property.

Mutual banks and credit unions

Mutual banks, credit unions, and buildings societies all fall into the customer-owned banking sector in Australia. Although customer-owned banks can often offer you a better interest than other banks and lenders, you generally have to be a strong borrower to get approved.
