Who is Newcastle Permanent Building Society?
Newcastle Permanent is a customer-owned lender founded in 1903, historically one of Australia's largest building societies. In March 2023 it merged with Greater Bank to form NGM Group (Newcastle Greater Mutual Group), one of the country's biggest customer-owned banking groups, with the Newcastle Permanent brand continuing under the group.
Its heartland is Newcastle, the Hunter and regional New South Wales, where most of its several hundred thousand customers live, backed by a real branch network. As a mutual, profits are returned to customers through pricing and service rather than paid out to shareholders.
Who suits a Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan?
Newcastle Permanent tends to suit NSW borrowers, especially in Newcastle, the Hunter and regional areas, who want customer-owned pricing without giving up branches, and first home buyers, since it is an approved lender for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme. Its variable rates regularly appear near the top of our leaderboard, so check the live table above to see where it sits today.
Since the 2023 merger, its sister brand Greater Bank runs under the same NGM Group and is worth comparing too, since each brand keeps its own pricing. Buying or refinancing in its home city? See home loan rates in Newcastle.
