So my broker just showed me a niche product that has been on the market for a while that has just had a competitive rate drop. Was looking at ING but their serviceability calculators work off 8% interest which dropped my borrowing capacity 30k below any other bank I have looked into and falls short of what I am seeking to borrow by a good 20k.
Bank of Adelaide (Bendigo Bank) - 3 year SmartFIX - 3 year FIXED at 4.89% with OFFSET account linked to it. P&I and IO options. Found it quite interesting. $375 application fee which they will waive. $120 lodgement fee. No annual fees but with $15 monthly fee - unlimited transactions. They have just dropped from 5.09% and previously had a cap on transactions over $10 worth per month (based on $2/transaction).
Has anyone banked with them before or can anyone offer some insight into their experience with the product?
Thanks.
