Is it time to refinance and get a better deal?
Don't put off refinancing, you could be costing yourself thousands
Did you know that the banks rely on you to stay loyal to increase their profits?
I started as a mortgage broker over 10 years ago, and one thing I have noticed is the banks look after their new customers better then their existing customers.
Ten years ago, most banks offered their clients around half a percent discount of their standard variable rate to win their business. Each lender plays the same game, and each year the discount to win new clients gets bigger and bigger. Most lenders are now offering 1% discount or more off their standard variable rate to win new business. Existing clients however are kept in the dark and continue to receive the same old discount they were offered when they first took our their loan.
It is the new customers who get the benefit of competition.
The other trick I have noticed is lenders offering customers very competitive deals with no mention of the discount being linked to their standard variable rate. Over time they simply increase the rate above that of the Reserve Bank increases or they fail to pass on the full discount when the reserve bank lowers the cash rate. So again it is only the new customers being looked after. These are both great ways for banks to increase their profits and they hope you don’t realise.
If you have been with your lender longer than 2 years it is time to get it reviewed. Competition has really improved amoungst lenders since the end of the GFC. Some lenders even help you with any exit cost to try and win your business.
What would you do with the savings?
One percent savings, on a $400,000 loan is equivalent to $4,000 per year. Over 3 years that is $12,000, that might be a holiday to the snow or a tropical island.
Is it time to refinance?
A dollar saved can be even better then two dollars earned. For example, if you are an average family with 2.2 kids earning the average income saving a dollar can be even better then earning two is essentially true. Each dollar earnt may lose you 32 cents in tax, and up to 50c if you are recieving family tax benefit A and B. All up 82 cents in the dollar is lost from a dollar earnt. Is is any wonder when we earn more we can feel like we are going backwards.

I have just had my car loan approved with Alex. He is very professional, easy to deal with and his language is understandable without the technical jargon. He kept me informed all the way through the process which didn't take very long. I would recommend anyone seeking finance to give Alex a call. Thanks Alex and my next loan from you will be for an investment property.
