ubank home loans review

ubank is an online-only lender, so before you apply for a home loan with them, you’ll want to be comfortable making your application and managing your mortgage online or over the phone.

ubank’s home loans are available to owner occupiers and investors, with options for principal and interest or interest-only repayments. As well as variable interest rates, it’s possible to fix your interest rate for up to five years.

The interest rates on ubank home loans tend to be lower than those of larger, more traditional banks. As ubank has no branches, it can pass some of its savings on to customers. Owner-occupiers can expect to pay lower interest rates than investors, and those making principal and interest repayments can expect lower rates than those paying interest only.

ubank customers may need to budget for upfront and ongoing fees on its home home loans, and those applying for fixed rate home loans may also need to include a rate lock fee in their calculations.

ubank only offers offset accounts on some of its home loans, but customers who make extra repayments can enjoy unlimited redraws.
