Credit union home loans



A place with consistently better home loan rates

InfoChoice has estimated that Australians cost themselves $2.7 billion in excess mortgage payments because they stick with the big banks and don’t seek out other players. On average, home owners who take a mortgage out with a credit union or building society are more than $30,000 better off over the life of the loan - Infochoice.**

Why choose Community First for your home loan?

When you take out a home loan and become a Member of Community First, you will be eligible for a Member Allowance which rewards you, for the more business you have with Community First. It's our way of helping our Members minimise or even avoid paying fees and charges.

For example, if you take out a $100,000 mortgage, we will grant you $27 worth of free transactions per month on your Community First transaction account, should you choose to have one. Additional rebates can be gained by Members when they hold further products such as credit cards and insurance policies.


Applying for a home loan with Community First

Depending on what is most convenient for you, you can choose to apply online, over the phone, or by visiting one of our Financial Services Stores. After you apply for a loan with Community First, we will contact you within 24-48 hours regarding your application.

We'll come to you - just choose the time and place

We understand that choosing a home loan can seem a little daunting. You might prefer to sit down and speak with some one face to face about your options, or you might feel more comfortable having some one assist you to complete your home loan application. If you can't get to a Community First Store, you can book one of our Mobile managers. They can visit you at a time and place that suits you to help you through the whole process.


Why choose us?

Community First is owned by its Members which means that unlike banks who generate profits to satisfy shareholders, our profits go back in to creating better products, more competitive rates and superior levels of service. At Community First, it all comes back to you.
