What is a cashback offer?
A cashback offer is as the name suggests - a cash payment to you for switching your home loan to a new lender.
This is usually paid to a borrower into their bank account after completion of the new loan.
Cashback offers in the market come and go all the time. Current offers range from $1,000 up to $4,000 and potentially more depending on your loan set up, loan size & specific circumstances.
Wait, free money… is there a catch?
It depends. It is true in life that there is ‘no such thing as a free lunch’. In order to be eligible for cashback offers on refinancing you need to meet the criteria set out by the lender.
You may also have to pay a fee to close your loan with your existing lender.
The lenders are willing to pay a cashback offer to attract good borrowers, and it is often a small price for them to pay in order to get your business.
Often refinance requires a maximum LVR of 80% without LMI.
There is often paperwork to do, but that is where a mortgage broker can help.
If you get a cashback offer but are going to a loan with a higher interest rate or fees, you could end up paying more over time. A mortgage broker can help you compare different lenders and loan options to ensure you understand the total cost of different loan options.
