  • LVR+ above 70% up to 80%: our standard interest rate applies if you're borrowing above 70% and up to 80% of our property valuation.
  • LVRabove 80%: an extra 0.30% p.a. will be applied on top of our standard interest rate if you’re borrowing above 80% of our property valuation.

Rate Lock

With the Rate Lock6 feature, your clients can lock in the current fixed interest rate. This way, for a fee, they're protected from the possibility of rising interest rates. The lower rate will apply if the current rate falls below the 'locked-in' rate on their settlement date. Rate Lock will hold the current fixed rate for up to 90 days after the rate has been locked in for a fee of 0.15% of the loan amount (minimum fee amount of $500, with maximum charge capped at $1,000 for loans up to $2M, and 0.15% of the loan amount for loan above $2M).

Important information

Conditions, credit criteria, fees and charges apply. Based on St.George’s credit criteria, residential lending is not available for Non-Australian resident borrowers. Interest rates subject to change. Before making a decision, it’s best to read the terms and conditions.
