*Important Information and Comparison Rate Warning
WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates.

Who is Bank Australia?
Bank Australia is the customer-owned bank behind the 'clean money' idea: its responsible banking policy rules out lending to fossil fuels, gambling, tobacco, live animal export and weapons. It began in 1957 as the CSIRO staff credit union, grew through mergers of more than 70 credit unions into bankmecu, and took the Bank Australia name in 2015.
It is a certified B Corp (since 2020), and its home-loan range includes discounted rates for energy-efficient homes through its Clean Energy Home Loan.
Who suits a Bank Australia home loan?
Bank Australia tends to suit borrowers who want their mortgage to sit with an ethically screened, customer-owned lender, and buyers of energy-efficient homes who can qualify for its green rate discounts. Values do not automatically mean the sharpest price, so check its position in the live table above.

Ratesniffers compares Bank Australia home loan products by comparison rate. A verified Bank Australia product example is Basic Home Loan <=80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.39% p.a. (6.39% comparison rate), variable, for an owner-occupier principal-and-interest loan at 80% LVR (listed LVR band up to 80%), as of 20 October 2026. This is a selected example, not every product or a personalised offer. WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan. The comparison rate displayed is based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years. Compare Bank Australia at /home-loans. The /guides/comparison-rate explains the fee-inclusive figure used to rank the table. To model extra payments, use /calculators/extra-repayment.
What is the lowest Bank Australia home loan rate?
A verified Bank Australia product example is Basic Home Loan <=80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.39% p.a. (6.39% comparison rate), variable, for an owner-occupier principal-and-interest loan at 80% LVR (listed LVR band up to 80%), as of 20 October 2026. This is a selected example, not every product or a personalised offer. WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan. The comparison rate displayed is based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years. These selected examples do not establish the lowest rate across every product or borrower scenario.
What is the monthly repayment on a $600,000 Bank Australia home loan?
For a hypothetical $600,000 principal-and-interest loan over 30 years, keeping this variable interest rate unchanged gives about $3,749 a month before fees. The selected source example is Basic Home Loan <=80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.39% p.a. (6.39% comparison rate), variable, for an owner-occupier principal-and-interest loan at 80% LVR (listed LVR band up to 80%), as of 20 October 2026. Variable rates can change; this calculation does not establish eligibility or approval. WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan. The comparison rate displayed is based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years. Use /calculators/repayment to model your own amount and term.
How much do you need to earn for a $500,000 Bank Australia home loan?
There is no single salary requirement for a Bank Australia home loan. The lender assesses income, expenses, debts and repayment capacity. APRA's residential mortgage framework generally requires governed authorised deposit-taking institutions to apply a minimum 3 percentage point buffer above the payable interest rate, ignoring temporary introductory discounts, with prudent limited policy exceptions. This does not establish Bank Australia's actual assessment rate or approval criteria. Confirm the applicable lender policy and use /calculators/income-required for an illustrative estimate, not approval.
How does Bank Australia's home loan rate compare to the market?
A verified Bank Australia product example is Basic Home Loan <=80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.39% p.a. (6.39% comparison rate), variable, for an owner-occupier principal-and-interest loan at 80% LVR (listed LVR band up to 80%), as of 20 October 2026. Across 30 covered listed lenders, the median advertised interest rate of one selected owner-occupier principal-and-interest variable example per lender at 80% LVR is 6.44% p.a., as of 20 October 2026. This describes those selected examples, not the whole market or rates approved for borrowers. WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan. The comparison rate displayed is based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years.
How many home loan products does Bank Australia offer?
Ratesniffers currently tracks 248 Bank Australia home loan products across variable, fixed and interest-only options for owner-occupiers and investors, and ranks the 47 that pass our data-quality checks on this page. Every rate is checked daily against each lender's current published pricing and ranked by comparison rate, the ASIC-mandated figure that folds in most fees, so the genuinely cheapest loans sit at the top.
Is Bank Australia competitive for refinancing?
Compare Bank Australia's available product conditions and total costs with your existing loan. A listed rate does not establish refinance eligibility. Allow for discharge, establishment and any fixed-loan early repayment costs, and confirm applicable lender terms before switching. Compare the table with /home-loans/refinance.
How often are Bank Australia's home loan rates updated?
Ratesniffers refreshes Bank Australia's home loan rates daily; this page was last updated 1 November 2026. Rates can change whenever Bank Australia reprices or the RBA moves the cash rate, so the figures shown reflect the most recent data we hold rather than a static snapshot.
How long does Bank Australia take to approve a home loan?
Bank Australia says the initial application takes about 20 minutes, and if the details check out it can offer conditional approval (pre-approval) at that point. Formal approval follows once it verifies your credit score and financial position and completes a property valuation, and the bank says to allow up to 10 days. All applications remain subject to credit assessment.
Does Bank Australia offer an offset account, and what does it cost?
Yes. Bank Australia's Offset Home Loan includes a 100% mortgage offset account with no monthly account keeping fee and no establishment fee. The loan carries a $199 annual fee, payable in advance and debited to the loan balance on funding and then each anniversary. On fixed rate loans the offset is capped at $20,000 with one linked account.
What fees does Bank Australia charge on a home loan?
Bank Australia charges no establishment, annual, redraw or first valuation fee on its Basic Home Loan, and a mortgage discharge fee of $275 plus government fees applies across its home loans. The Offset Home Loan and Clean Energy Home Loan carry a $199 annual fee with a $0 monthly offset account fee. The Bridging Loan has a $595 establishment fee.
