Lock in your rate upon approval with our rate lock option

When applying for a fixed home loan, you have the option of locking in the fixed interest rate that is current at the conditional approval stage, for a maximum period of 90 days. This means that even if our fixed interest rates change between the date of conditional approval and funding, you will still receive the interest rate current at the conditional approval stage (unless the rate at funding is lower).

The rate lock fee is $500 or 0.15% of the loan amount, whichever is higher. If you request a rate lock fee, you will be charged the fee when your loan is conditionally approved and your rate is locked in.


How to apply for a Rate Lock

Once you have been advised that your loan has been conditionally approved, complete the rate lock form and forward it to us.

If you applied for your loan at one of our Stores, we recommend you drop the form in to the same Store. Alternatively, if you applied for your loan online or over the phone, forward your rate lock form to us via one of the following methods:

Fax: 02 9735 1661
